Can a 15 year old girl legally date an 18 year old guy (myself) as long as we don't have sex and have the permission of her parents?

Yes, though you will need to refrain from sexual contact in general rather than just actual sex.

You are better off dating one your own age. You are taking a chance. The parents permit is irrelevant. Statutory rape has nothing to do with consentual sex

sex or even oral copulation becomes a crime by statute regardless of parental consent.
