okay so me and a 18 year old are talking, I turn 16 at the end of next month, age of consent in my state is 16, does this mean we could date once I turn 16 or would I have to wait until I'm 18, I really like him and I know guys aren't everything but he makes me happy, what should I do??? UPDATE: my parents agreed to meet him again and see how it went and we've been dating since the begining of february, and were really happy together, its a genuinely healthy relationship,
