I met this guy a few weeks ago.
We exchanged numbers and he called me and stuff.
the next time i saw him, he found out i was 13, and i found out we was 17!
then he hasn't called me.
i really like him a lot, and now it feels awkward between us when i see him...
any good conversation starters i can use that will make it more comfortable between us?

Even if you live in a state that okays that at the youngest age (16), that's still about 3 years in the future. I'm sorry to say you won't find many 17 year old guys willing to wait that long these days.
I know that is probably not something you are even thinking about at this point...but he knows all about it, and that is probably the reason he has backed off.
He evidently liked you so don't take it as an insult. Just tell him you understand why your age came as a shock to him and that you would still like to be friends. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

XkittyOkatX answered Friday December 8 2006, 4:46 pm: Well it's pretty obvious WHY it's uncomfortable. Just think about it from his point of view, before you try anything. You most likely seem pretty young to him, just think of it if it were you. That would be like you going out with a nine year old.
If you go tto a point where you exchanged numbers, ect, you must be pretty mature, though.
I'd just say to talk about major events that happened during the day. You could also try asking him a question. 'Hey, I was just curious/was just thinking about this, but.... ' That kind of line usually works. That will get him talking, and maybe you two will get to talking about things that have happened to both of you.

The next time you see him explain the misunderstanding and tell him you just want to be friends. If you want an older guy, only strecth a year or 2...4 is too far a part. Hope i helped.
