There's a real distinction as others have mentioned between dating and sex.
According to the LawGuru Wiki (see the first source), the age of consent in Kansas is 16. So legally from both perspectives, you'd be doing nothing illegal.
However, keep in mind that your father likely has your best interests in mind - he's most probably thinking about a number of things, not just the law, when he's trying to stop you from dating an 18 year old. Try to think through it all and see the options before moving forward - theres no need to rush anything.

that's like asking if a 14 year old can date a 15 year old , it's up to the person if he/she wants to.

your dad is being a dad, be grateful. Date yes, sex NO. Marriage no. If you're mature enough to date older guys, then be mature enough to accept your parents are going to worry!

Date? Yes. Sex? No. Your dads not being stupid about it, he's just trying to protect you.

you can date, you can't have sex. it's only a big deal because you are so young , if you stop and think about it i beat there is a few years different between your mom and dad. maybe even more.

It is legal to date, but not to have sex. That would be illegal

like above said, dating is fine, but he's an adult and you're jailbait. don't do anything you'll regret.
