It is not illegal for a 18-year-old to have a social relationship with a 13-year-old of the opposite sex, it is statutory rape however if there is any sexual activity between the two parties.

Yes, its fine. It isnt a very big age gap, and itll be better when theyre 13 and 15, and better still when theyre 14 and 16.

Your child might not even wait for the teenage years before they ask you if they can “go out” with someone. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, kids start dating at an average age of 12 and a half for girls and 13 and a half for boys.
