Yeah, twice your age minus 14 would give you the max age that YOU aren't the creepy young one to.
Slick:
No guys I was right you are all wrong.
x=1/2*y+7 = > y=2x-14
Original question was:

And the formula clearly shows it is never acceptable to date someone twice your age.
Jace:
When you are 18 you can date someone twice your age. But why would you want to?
KvP:
There are people out there who prefer older partners, like, old enough to be their parents. I know a few. They tend to be women. I'm not going to speculate on why that is.

After some puzzling out i get what you are saying and i put forward that we are all in fact right as in this case you would be p (p being the extra parameter i added earlier), they would be y and their youngest acceptable age would be x. However the formula doesn't contain both your age and their age so there is no way to make a direct comparison.
From the original formula of x=0.5y+7 we can see it is unacceptable to date someone half your age (as you must always date 7 years above half) but acceptable to date older than you so it would be ok if you were the younger person but not if you were the older person.
Somewhat amazingly though, this formula doesn't actually count for anything and as Jace said when you turn 18 all bets are off anyway.
