Date? Yes.
Sex? No. And no other sexual contact either.
And don't do anything that would be seen as "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" under Penal Code section 272. Don't keep them out past curfew and/or their parent's deadlines. Don't take them to over 18 places....
Sounds boring, I know, but you asked.

I agree with Mr. Dane. Sexual contact (which includes more than just intercourse) between an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old is a crime, but non-sexual dating is legal. And heed his words about respecting the parents' deadlines. They can make a lot of trouble for you if you don't.
