I was just wondering if I had my parents consent to be dating an 18-year-old in Wisconsin, is it considered illegal or legal with parents consent?

if you guys do anything sexual and authorities find out about it, then yes.

Age of consent in your state is 18. Now that being said long as the date ends with a hand shake and not much more your OK. Even kissing can get you in legal trouble. By the way where "dating" is legal sexual acts or acts intended to arouse a minor are. There are also Federal laws about emails, tests, phone chat etc. Your parents consent cannot make the illegal legal

There are already a few states out now that have laws that allow teens to date. 19,,, teen is still able to date a 16 teen year old because they are both teens. This is something you could use as a case backer if there is an issue. Some states have been known to move forward ahead of the parents and punish the 18 year old. One thing you need to think about is if he is still in school..
Though I would think as long as your parents consent, then you should have no problems with the laws.
On a side note, you should not be dating a 18 year old imop. Remember that is imop though and not what other think. My rules in my house fyi, not your house.

Okay, as someone who works as one of the "authorities" who a previous poster said you shouldn't allow to find out about having sex, let me give it to you straight. If you are having intercourse, it might indeed technically count as against the law, but if the parent of the younger party consents to the relationship (as you indicate your father does) then there is no state in the nation that would bother charging or prosecuting such a case. Seriously. If you had any idea how common these situations are, you would realize charging these cases is not remotely practical -- like arresting people employing illegal aliens, for instance. There are a lot of laws on the books that are all but ignored. Believe me, you've got nothing to be worried about. Hope this helps.

Dating someone is never illegal.
Having sex may be depending on the laws in your state.
EDIT: From what I am finding, it is illegal in Wisconsin for an 18 year old to have sex with a 16 year old girl.

It seems legal. If your parents have no problem than their is no problem. Unless your 4 years apart birth wise. But from the looks of it your like what 2 years & some odd months. Your good.
P.S. I once had a relationship with a girl (sexualy active) who was 16 when Istarted dating her & I was 20 & her dad got mad at me one time & threatend to call the cops on me for it so I called the district atterny to see if I would get in trouble & they said I was within the legal limit. That was in colorado though.

There's like a 3 year rule or something. If he were 19 then it would be illegal, but since you're only 2 years apart there's a loophole that you pass through. Lucky you!

its not illegal until you have sex. i know a guy that met a girl on the internet. he was 18 and she was 15. she told him that she was also 18. they met up and had sex. her parents later found out and charged him for rape. he has to serve three years in prison and will be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life. even though she lied about her age and he had no idea about it until he went to court he still had to serve the sentence.

You can date. You cannot have sex until you are 17.

As long as your parents are okay with it and you're not having sex.
