To be frank, we are pretty darned sick of answering the same question over and over and over and over and over, etc.

Either use that nifty little search bar up there to search the forums, or go ahead and Google "Florida age of consent".

So long as you're not engaging in any sexual acts whatsoever and her parents are a-okay with the relationship, then you're perfectly fine and not breaking any laws. Sexual conduct is to be avoided until she turns 18, or you could be facing some penalties like jail time. You'd do well not to go much farther than harmless kissing, if you want to play the safe side. Technically, being younger than 24 years old in Florida leaves you free from penalty if you're engaging in sexual acts with a minor that is atleast 16 years old, but yeah, play it safe.

If her parents say no, then it's no either way.

There aren't really any laws prohibiting anyone from dating anyone else, to my knowledge. A large age gap might me questionable by moral or ethical standards, but the law only prohibits sexual conduct.

Start your own thread! My personal advice is to date women your own age and leave children alone.
