Some people say it's illegal to date (I know that's not true) Some say it's illegal if you're more than 3 years apart, and some say it's illegal if you're more than 2 years apart. but like they were dating them b4 their b day interesting question!

And what happens when someone turns 18 and theyre dating someone like, 2 or 3 years younger than them?

site/page link - scroll to bottom to find this one:

If the perpetrator is over the age of 21, the penalty is 10 to 20 years in prison.

If both parties are under 18, and there is less than a 4 year age difference between them, it is still illegal for them to have sex in Georgia, but it is treated as a far less severe crime.

but for the "law" I do not think there is one as for laws regarding dating, I do not think there are any... Cynth Answers: There are no laws restricting the ages or gender of people dating in Georgia. In Georgia, the age of consent is 16 for both sexes. If you are over the age of consent and have sex with someone younger than the age of consent, it counts as statutory rape.

just laws on "age of consent" -which differs state to state... I found this information for you regarding both; quote: Dear Panel, What is the legal age to date a girl in Georgia? It is still illegal since neither have the right to consent to sex.
