Why not?

By all means YES!
Never did dating felt as good as it did when i was 15-16

And all the girls were 15-18 too, omg, it will be illegal for you to date them in few years, so go for it now! Girls will never look as good as they do in high school.
Pros:
- You will get then needed experience for future endeavors.
- Huge self confidence boost.
- Other males will respect you more ( even if the girl is not the most popular, as long as she is not a land-whale

)
Cons:
- Breaking up will mess you up pretty bad ( That one time, all i did after school, was waiting for a girl to call - literally did nothing else but sitting in a couch and looking at a phone )
- You will probably neglect everything else in your life ( who wants to study or do sports when you can date a 16 year old girl?.. )
- You will never know what's on a young girl's mind ( personally, I never understood what's going on

)
Basically, same thing as dating as an adult, but less sex and an amplitude of your feelings will be a severe one.
