Love is in the air No need to wait for the official first date to get a little face time, however. Americans agree kids are ready for their first kiss at age 15 (15.1 on average), while on average, they had theirs at age 14.5.

Would a 12 year old date a 17 year old?

Technically yes but this is trouble waiting to happen. No 12 year old should be dating and no on under the age of consent (which is 16 on PA) should date someone over the age of consent. There are other charges not involving sex that could be brought when the person who is 17 turns 18.
