It's funny how many people automatically assume dating equals sex. Perhaps it's a sign of the times, or they truly don't know any better. Anyway, if a 15-year-old girl is dating a 21-year-old man, I would first hope her parents know about it, approve of it, and are involved in it. If her parents do not know, then she is on a potentially dangerous road where the kindest risk would be an incredibly strained relationship with her parents once they did find out, and the worst possible risk would be rape and/or other physical abuse. Plus, if this young man does not consider her parents to be important to the relationship, he is no good and is only looking to please himself, and cares very little for the reputation, heart, family life, and well-being of his minor aged 15-year-old girlfriend.
Now, aside from that, as long as the girl's parents know about him, and approve of their daughter being with him, there are no legal consequences for the two just dating. I am not fully apprised of the legal statutes in Texas, but please do not assume any form of innocent physical affection beyond a hug would be deemed acceptable by Texas law. Some states do not allow for kissing or any other innocent physical affection beyond that of a hug between an adult man and an underage girl who are not father and daughter. And, of course, should the relationship become sexual before the girl is of proper consenting age, the young man puts himself in jeopardy of arrest, detainment, prosecution, judgment, sentencing, and imprisonment for statutory rape and possible sexual assault.
If you are in this relationship, first, include your parents, then seek out what exactly the consent laws of Texas are by contacting your local county clerk's office.

The 21 year old knows better and should NOT be going out with a 15 year old in ANY way.
The consequences could be getting the title Pedophile.

statutory Rape. why the legal age for sexual consent in most states is 16 and in Washington state it is 17 so that is a year shy of the legal age of consent then that person is too many yrs older than the requirement. It is stated that the person can not be more than 3-4yrs older than the person that he/she is involved with in that situation. He/she can go to jail if the wrong people find out.

Don't know but I can guess that if they are doing anymore than going out, the boy could be in trouble.

My boyfriend and I had the same problem, I was only slightly underage and he was older. We dated and everything, we just waited to have sex until it was legal. If you love each other, it’s worth the wait…
Good luck!! :)
