    Actually yes in the United States it is legal for a 19yr old female to date a 17 yr old male or the other way around..My young brother is in a jail for youth boys because he had sex with a 14yr old girl when he was 2wks old of being 17 because the law is it most only be a diff.. of 2yrs unless u both or over the age of 18.

    Yes.

    Dating is not typically a legally recognized status. The law really only steps in when you start getting physical and engaging in sexual acts.

    The age of consent in Indiana is 16 for sexual acts.
    IC 35-42-4

    Essentially, if you are both over 16, you may choose to have consensual sex.

    not without a parents approval.

    sex is also illegal under 18..regardless of the age of consent.

    and its statutory rape if one party is over 18..sorry
