What is the state of California's legal age for dating?

Answer by  Mary (2095)

There is no legal age for dating. This would purely be based on the parents decision of what is too young. If you mean what is the age of consent, meaning sex, there is a legal age. This would be 16, as long as the participants are close in age, 3 years. Otherwise 18.

There is no legal age for dating, that's a family decision. The legal age of consent for sex is 18. The implication is, obviously, that it is appropriate to date, but you have to avoid any sexual conduct until both participants are older than 18. Even consensual sex between minors is technically illegal.

There is no legal age for dating, but if the parties are going to be engaging in more than just dates the legal age of consent is sixteen, but the partner cannot be over the age of twenty one. If the adult is over the age of 21, he or she can be fined up to 25,000 dollars.
