The legal age of consent in New York state is 17.

The law applies to sex, not to dating.

Were I your parent, I might have qualms about you dating someone 8 years older than you at your age.

so the legal age to date is 17... and the legal age to have sex is 18... right? well, thats good to hear...

That should answer a few questions! Please, understand where your parents are coming from should they have any concerns. It is their job to make sure you are safe.

No. There are no laws regarding how old one has to be to date.

The Age of Consent applies only to sex.
