Its legal for an adult to date a minor? A 55 year old guy can date a 15 year old girl??
Two points to make.
1. The only illegality is actual conduct. If there is no actual conduct, then there is nothing illegal. (Note: That doesn’t make it moral or proper, of course, but the cops can’t lock you away for taking a girl out for coffee.)
2. In many areas, it’s legal for an adult and a minor to be involved if they are close enough in age. Most jurisdictions have a “two year rule” (meaning that if they are within two years, they won’t take action). Otherwise, it would be illegal for an 18 year old to date a 17.5 year old.
