Most states state that 16 is age of consent. However if parents disapprove they can seek court order to keep you away. If you pursue seeing this child (yes shes a child) no one will believe you wont have sex or attempt it. This includes acts otehr than intercourse. You could be labled a pedophile or similar by your peers and face other judgements from others that could effect your lifestyle work etc. I must ask why does a "man" your age need a relationship with a child!? Legally you might be fine but morally you will be frowned on. Like I said parents can also place court orders on you as well to protect their child. My advice stay away!
