Dating Intentions And Legality

Summary

Dating someone with the intention to break up is not illegal in California or the UK. However, if the relationship involves deception or manipulation causing emotional distress or harm, it could potentially lead to civil claims such as emotional distress or harassment. These situations are more about ethics and personal conduct rather than legality. If you have specific concerns, it may be beneficial to consult with a legal professional to understand any potential legal implications in your situation.
