Look at your state laws. In Oklahoma age of consent is 16. But I'm not sure exactly what does and doesn't apply for that and what the exact law says.

Look at the date this was asked. The person that asked it is now over 21.

Yes, he can go to jail. First of all, anyone over the age of 18 doing anything with anyone under the age of 18 in any sort of sexual, or romantic manner of any kind is strictly illegal. Some people say there's a 3 year gap (15 can date 18, 16 19, and 17 20) but this is not true. Even if that WAS true, he's FOUR years older than you, so it's just flat out illegal. I personally say age is just a number, and all the more power to the two of you, but just be careful, because he can get a jail sentence for it.

Oni, you seem to know very little about which you speak. These laws vary greatly by state. In New Jersey, for instance, even a 16-year-old can legaally have sex with a 21-year-old. She can be with a 91-year-old for that matter. But in some other states, it would be illegal. Also in New Jersey, there are absolutely allowances for small gaps in age. People have to look up these laws with regards to where they live before just going by what they hear about on the internet. It's not illegal to ask; it's responsible.

Depends on where you live your jurisdiction and the law. I am currently in the state of Florida and no that would not be illegal. The person who said 3 years difference is talking nonsense. In most countries the age of consent is 16. In the state of Florida, a 16 year old can date up to a 23 year old legally. However, you must consider that in every state you cannot break state law, and federal law, so eventhough the state law says its okay you could still get in trouble because of the federal law. However, in your case, he is only 4 years older then you, and probably well capable of dating you, just google up the law in your area and make sure for yourself if you are concern.

Do what you know is right.

Does this person love you and care for you? Why would anyone want to press charges against you or him unless he hurts you or mistreats you? The law is there to protect people, not to make them prisoners.
