We've been dating about two years now, I'm 15 and he's 17. When he turns 18 we will be able to have sex and still date each other?

It is bothersome that a minor would come onto the internet and ask a question that is pretty much self answering. No in every state of the union to answer your question. Even if the act is consentual you are still not recognize an "Adult" or age of consent. To correct a misconception Statutory Rape and Sexual assault are two different issues.
Statutory Rape-n. sexual intercourse with a female below the legal age of consent but above the age of a child, even if the female gave her consent, did not resist and/or mutually participated. In all but three states the age of consent is 18, and the age above which the female is no longer a child varies, although 14 is common. The theory of statutory rape is that the girl is incapable of giving consent, although marriage with a parent's consent is possible in many states at ages as low as 14. Intercourse with a female child (below 14 or whatever the state law provides) is rape, which is a felony. Increasingly statutory rape is not charged when there is clear consent by the female, particularly when the girl will not cooperate in a prosecution. Controversy continues over what constitutes "resistance" or "consent," particularly when some men insist a woman who said "no" really meant "yes."
Sexual Assault-sexual assault
n. Conduct of a sexual or indecent nature toward another person that is accompanied by actual or threatened physical force or that induces fear, shame, or mental suffering.
This is a conversation that I believe you should be holding with your parents and with the boyfriend present.

Well if your 15 its pretty much happening, He maybe able to have sex due to his age, but you would not be. Check your laws. Most are above the age of 15 years old.
