Underage Dating Laws in Ohio

[Seither]

What is the name of your state? Ohio

Ok, I know you're probably tired of questions like this, and I've searched the forum, but haven't found any information anywhere about dating someone underage in Ohio. I know the sexual laws, consent, and all that here, so I'm not worried about that. Here's the situation:

I'm 17, I turn 18 in April, my girlfriend is 15, she turns 16 in June. Our age difference is 2 years and 2 months. What I want to know is if, legally, there is any sort of trouble I could get into just dating her, no sexual relations of any sort involved. I've tried to find information on this, but all I can ever find is statutory rape laws, and that's not what I need.

Thanks

With no sexual contact occurring, there really isn't much legal basis for stopping it. However, if the parents say the dating must end but it continues, then a charge for Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor might come into play.
