Of course spending time with anyone is legal in this country. Don't try going against her family in the middle east or India though or you might end up stoned (not in a good way) or beheaded. It might even be legal to go all the way depending on your state. However, that is kinda creepy, a senior hittin up a freshman...
The legal age of consent varies from 16-18 in the US as a general rule, but there are specific clauses if the couple is within a number of years of each other. For example, I'm a resident of FL. 18 is the legal age of consent, but if the older person is under 24, then the legal age drops to 16. SC says if you're 18 or younger, then the legal age drops to 14. Some states specify if you're within 2 or 3 years of each other, then it doesn't matter if you're "of age" or not. Check your local statutes if you two do decide to go all the way.

Don't be misled here. As others have stated it is definitely illegal to have sex, but it could also be illegal if you are doing anything else (although just kissing would PROBABLY not an issue). The DA would have the choice of bringing a case against you for any "sexual misconduct", which doesn't just mean sex. I would look it up for your state, because state laws differ.

It's not illegal to date, but it's sketchy on the legal details. Even if the 15 year old consents, it's statutory rape. And even if you don't go all the way, it could be construed as a legal issue... Not likely, but depends on the parents of the minor.

Dating is permissible. Sexual contact is a totally different story, and it depends on the states' age of consent, which can range from 16 to 18.

properly, on reflection, in the event that they have been to get married it does no longer remember as long as they have been given married while the extra youthful replaced into a minimum of 20. I relatively have met married people the place the age distinction is as much as fifteen years aside, and it did no longer remember because of the fact the couples have been so in love and did no longer care with regard to the area. If the girls and the boy incredibly are in love, they should not be afraid to tell their mom and dad and proceed interior the courting. yet in basic terms undergo in concepts that they are nonetheless relatively childrens and should no longer be demanding approximately marrage or intercourse. there is no reason to take the relaxing out of life while you're youthful and cut back to the chase. stay your life to the fullest... meaning NO dashing!!!!

It's not illegal for them to date, but I guess it wouldn't be an issue of the younger person's parents aren't making a big stink over the companionship.

Of course you can date. "Age of consent" addresses carnal knowledge, not holding hands.
You should note that "age of consent" laws often address the difference in age, and 2 or 3 years is a common figure. The chart linked below is not complete, and you haven't said what state or province you're in.

How can you make it illegal for two people of any age to date? You can make it illegal to have sex with each other but not hang out and enjoy each others company.
