No. The a person must be 18 in order to date someone else who is 18 or older. It all depends on where you live at. Most states Consent Age is 16,17,18 it all depends on where you live at.If you're older than the consent age then no your parents can't press charges.

There are not laws that specifically relate to the age at which someone can "date". There are age of consent laws that pertain to the legal age at which a minor can engage in consensual sex. These laws vary from state-to-state, likewise, all US states have various laws that can be applied to any relationship between adults and minors.

That is up to the parents to decide since there are no laws for dating in the US. There are laws for sex though and the minor must have reached age of consent for it to be legal.
