Are you talking about intercourse without getting into trouble?? Because 17 MAY be the legal age to have sex in Mississippi with an adult. I know NY is, my bf has worked with kids/county/foster care for almost 5 yrs now and whenever his kids (clients) get pregnant at 17 (couple a year) they legally can't do anything about it. Anyways, dating is fine..you may get groans and annoyed looks from older adults, but they can't do anything other than with words.
Good luck.

I don't think there is any age requirement to date an adult. If you are under age, you can of course be legally banned from dating anyone by your parent or guardian since you are still a minor. Now if there is ANY sexual conduct going on there is an age restriction for that. The age for sexual consent in Mississippi is 16. This is not legal advice it is only my opinion.

The laws are different, not only country by country but state by state. Although most states agree on the age of consent, they don't always agree what that really means. "Dating" is not sufficiently descriptive to be legally useful. Some countries might consider "being in the unattended presence of..." as a date. That is, if you were found alone, even playing cards, it would be considered illegal. However, not this country. The only thing the statutory rape laws prevent you from doing is having sex. That is, to be any kind of rape, sex must be involved. In any case, make him wait for a year for sex. Tell him that you're worth it. In any case, tell him that jail isn't all that its cracked up to be and he probably wouldn't enjoy who he'd be getting for dates in there. People should be able to be alone together without having sex. You may not like it, but you will live through it.

Yes 17 is the legal age because I saw it on Judge something The man, 26, left his wife for a seventeen year old and they were living together and blah blah else So I know 17 is the legal age of consent for a female

In every state if you are two or more years older than a person under the age of eightteen it is illegal. So to be on the safe side eightteen that's if you are having sex.
