    Dating and sexual relations are two different matters. There's no rules on dating- it's up to your parent's discretion. However, every state has laws on the age of consent and what sexual contact is defined as. You'll need to find the laws for your state.

    A 17 year old can date anyone they want, as long as their parents will permit them to. Parents can deny them dating at all, and restrict who they can date.
