No, it is not illegal due to just your age difference. It only becomes illegal when there is sex involved, the person you are having sex with is under 16, and you would be either 1 )four years older but less than eight years older than the complainant

Is it okay for a 12 year old to date a 16 year old?

Going on dates isnt per se illegal, but at your age, there are a large number of things that ARE illegal and could lead to him facing felony charges, even if hes only charged as a juvenile.
