Yes it is legal for you to date him but NOT legal for him to have sexual contact with you. Incidentally, he is a pervert. Any 17 year old guy who wants to date a 13 year old girl is a dirtbag and a scrub. For God's sake, use a rubber.
maybe i don't know you should look into it more that is why I am asking .... wanted to know if a 16 or 17 year old girl is still considered a minor .... and therefore could not legally have sexual relationships with a boy who is almost 19 years of age .... and if so, would that be statuory rape or considered as having sex with a minor ?
There are no "dating laws". However, there are laws reqarding sexual intercourse (which includes many forms of sexual contact). Massachusetts law is kind of weird: The age of consent in Massachusetts is 16. So, no sexual intercourse can happen legally with a 14 year old. And furthermore, if a person is 16 or 17 years old, then they must not be "induced" to have sexual intercourse if they are a virgin. So, an 18 year old and 14 year old can "date", just no sexual intercourse.
There are no laws for dating, just for sex. And as we all know dating does not equal sex so age of consent has nothing to do with this. So yes, two minors can date as long as their parents are OK with it.
In Massachusetts the single age of consent for an individual to engage in sexual intercourse is 16 years. Therefore a 21 year old individual can safely date a 16 year old individual.
This is not illegal. There are no laws about dating. There are specific laws about sexual activity and the age of consent is 16 in Massachusetts.

Here dating will be okay, but if they have sex then the picture changes.

No, it is not illegal for a 14 year old and a 17 year old to date. It is illegal for them to have sexual relations.
Yes. He is an adult at 23 and she is a minor at 17. It is illegal.
Well its not illegal if that's what your asking.
no it is not illegal four a 21 year old and a 16 year old to be going out.
Of course it is, it's called molestation and sexual abuse.
It has never been illegal to date someone, regardless of age. The laws deal with sexual contact. And at 18, she can date or do whatever she wishes with anyone over the age of consent.
