For example, if you start dating someone who is 20 when you are 26 years old, they are within the acceptable age range, according to the rule, but it is the very limit of your minimum age range. But when you are 30, and they are 24, your new age range is 22, and they are well above that range.
Then, can an 18 and 15 year old date?
In a Nutshell: Sex between an 18 year-old and a 15 year-old is illegal in California, meaning any touching of “private parts” of either, even with consent of both parties (and perhaps even the parents of each teenager) is illegal in California because the age of consent is 18.
Beside this, what is the youngest a 23 year old should date?
This rule states that by dividing your own age by two and then adding seven you can find the socially acceptable minimum age of anyone you want to date. So if you’re a 24-year-old, you can feel free to be with anyone who is at least 19 (12 + 7) but not someone who is 18.
What age gap is too big?
According to the rule, the age of the younger partner (regardless of gender) should be no less than seven more than half the older partner’s age.
Can a 17 and 19 year old date?
What is the Age of Consent in California? Unlike other states that allow minors to consent to sexual intercourse, the age of consent in California is 18 years. A person under the age of 18 years cannot legally consent to sexual intercourse. The age of consent is the same for both males and females.
