That dating rule is meant for people older than 18...

I feel like the half plus seven rule doesn't work perfectly. For one thing, there has to be a certain age, let's say 25 (I've heard that that's when your brain stops developing) where you can date *any* age, you're a full adult. So then the age rule really only has to apply for ages younger than 25 (or whatever).  
  
If you use half plus seven, this allows a 20yo to date a 17yo. I recall one time I invoked this rule and this girl called me p*do. And honestly, was she wrong? It does feel slightly off for a 20yo to date someone who's still in high school. So even in the &lt;25yo case I don't think the rule 100% works.  
  
It's pretty impossible to have this conversation without coming off as creepy but it's an important conversation to have. Like, we need the so called Romeo-and-Juliet laws to prevent, say, 18 year olds going to jail for having sex with 17 year olds. Which should not happen (and would not happen given the half +7 rule). But the rule doesn't necessarily work in all cases. What *should* the rule actually be?
