Can a 13 year old date a 16 year old in Minnesota?

According to Age of Consent, the age of consent in Minnesota is 16 years old. If the minor in question is between 13 and 15 years of age, the other partner cannot be more than 2 years older than they are. For minors that are under 13, they can only consent to individuals who are less than 36 months older than they are.
