15 is still considered a minor and in many states, the age of consent is 17. Dating is not the issue. It's get criminal when it goes beyond that point (kissing, petting, and god forbid sex)

I think you see the point. she's a minor, you're an adult - Trouble

yeah... but like I said, I'm the opposite... I'm the girl, but I'm older than my guyfriend.

The law doesnt change just because the genders are switched

Figured as much... so when he's 16 he'll have a preference, and if his parents are ok with it then there shouldn't be a problem... If you want to know more about my specific case, look at the next thread down called 15/18 dating laws. Thanks, and after reading that you'll have a better idea of my situation.
