If you are younger than 16 then your consent, no matter how heartfelt, is legally insufficient and will not be a factor in an ensuing criminal prosecution. What is relevant is age, and, depending upon the age, then consent.Ī 16 or 17 y/o can, legally / lawfully, consent to sexual relations with someone who is 23 or younger. If you are 16 or over then you can consent to sexual activity with someone who is 23 or younger, but not 24 or older. If you are 15 then you may not lawfully engage in any sexual activity (not just intercourse) with anyone.
If dating includes sex (or any form of sexual activity) then the answer is yes - and parental approval is irrelevant.
