Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Is it legal in the state of Indiana for a 21 year old to date a 17 year old? I have looked up the laws online (or tried to) and could only find laws on 12 and under, 13-14, and 15-16 year olds. Nothing is said about 17. I was going to get together with someone that was 17, though I was told they were 18. When I found out they were 17, I told them I needed to look up laws and confirm that it was legal for us to even be together before doing anything. Can anybody here answer my question with 100% accuracy please? I thank you in advance.

P.S. I couldn't figure out what branch of law this would be under in the list provided, so I picked one at random, sorry for the confusion.
