Can a 13 year old date a 16 year old?
It’s a bit tricky. Presently you are both minors and in the same legal category, but in another 2 years, if you are still dating, then it will be a 15 year old dating an 18 year old, which is a minor dating an adult, and that doesn’t look good. Everything considered, I would recommend dating someone closer to your own age. Even though 3 years is usually not a very big age difference in adults, for example who are 22 and 25 years old, but it is a big difference in maturity during that age of life in teens.
