Can a 13-year-old date a 16-year-old?

if you love them and they love you than yeah. a 15 year old and a 17 year old can date my mom is 33 and my dad is 29 and they are in complete love and i see nothing wrong with their age but if it is just a short lasting relationship than that may not be a good thing but what do i know you should know if your in love even if you are only 15 or 17
