Re: dating laws
If you are 18, I would NOT date (aka have sex) with a girl under the age of 18.
Even if her parents consent to the sex, they can revoke their agreement at any time.
You are talking about a crime!
If you would like more details about all the potential problems, you need to consult with a criminal lawyer.
I'm sure you've heard the horror stories about guys having sex with their under age girl friends, get prosecuted and have to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives -- it happens!
Better safe than sorry!
Good luck!
