There aren't laws about ages and dating. There are laws about ages and grooming and about having sex.

Honestly, is Google too difficult to use or something? This is the third question along these lines that I've answered in the last ten minutes.

illegal and imo unacceptable

No no no

Isn't this one of these common sense questions? like 'Is it ok to play in the road?'

Of course not

Queen Elizabeth wrote love letters to Philip when she was 13 and him 18.

But that was nearly 70 years ago.

No. The mentality of a 13 year old is completely different to that of a 17 year old, much younger and inexperienced to deal with the issues a 17 year old may carry. The power a 17 year old could hold over a 13 year old too could be incredibly dangerous. Don't do it.

there is absolutely no reason someone of that age should be with someone that young, unless they are controlling and manipulating.. What would a near grown man or woman have in common with an almost pre teen..... When I was 13, I wouldn't dream of being with someone who is 15, 16, 17.... Its disgusting and borderline pedophilloic. And who the hell is SERIOUSLY dating anyone at 13?

13-year-old's cannot have sex, by law.

Definitely not. 13 is very underage and early teens. Still a child and barely hit puberty and 17 is late teens. This would be wrong. Very. Think of it like this. at 13 you’re just starting secondary school or second year of. You leave when you’re 16/17. I left at 16 and went to college at 17. I wouldn’t even think to date someone in year 7/8. Very wrong on all levels.

i don't know if she technically can, but she absolutely shouldn't. the experience gap & developmental gap is way too large, and she is going to be at risk of a lot of things.

No- over 16s must never date anyone under 16.
Anyone over 16 who dates an under 16 risks attracting the attention of law enforcement and social services seeking to investigate whether anything illegal or dangerous has occurred.
Even if there has been zero physical sexual activity, sexting or grooming attempts.
Plus they are very likely to end up with the reputation of a creep or predator who targets teens under 15.

It's perfectly fine. If the 17yo turns 18 in yall's relationship, you two can STILL DATE!!! as long as you two aren't intimate, it's literally legal.. Idk why people are making a big deal out of this..
