He is A LOT older than you at a very critical age. The difference in my personality between 17 and 22 was HUGE! You should just be friends with this guy.
Ask yourself this question:
22 year old women are beautiful, almost universally, they are at their physical peak, They are mostly single and open to relationships, dating. So, if all this is true, why aren't they dating this guy?
Answer: There's something wrong with him. You may be a great person now, but you're going to be AWESOME at 22. You don't want to start dating a guy now you wouldn't touch 5 years from now. Follow the lead of the older girls and LET THIS ONE GO!

That should be his move and not yours. Just give it time, it's more fun that way. Age does not matter, it's how you click together. My husband is 11 years older than me.
When we met I was 20 and he was 31, and he did not kiss me after 2 weeks either, it took a little longer.
If he waited too long then something is wrong and that's when you have to figure out what to do.

Ummm You're 17. Its really illegal to do anything with this guy if you're under 18. Its probably because hes afraid to get into trouble.
The age of consent varies from state to state. Technically, it is “the arbitrary age, assigned by legislators, that define the legal time at which a person may consent voluntarily to sexual activity with another person.” This is a somewhat confusing definition, so instead it might help to think of age of consent in regards to statutory rape. For example, say you live in California where the age of consent is 18. This means that if you are over the age of 18 and you engage in “sexual activity” with a person under the age of 18, you have committed statutory rape. “Statutory rape” is a rather ugly term, and you may argue that the other person “was willing” and that you did not actually rape them. In truth, that doesn’t matter, because according to the law, the person under 18 with whom you had “sexual activity” with was not old enough to voluntarily consent “to sexual activity with another person.” Many states do have variations on the law and how they might prosecute, which is why we stress again that you should KNOW THE LAW within your state.

First things first: Most men (25) think of teens(17) as toys. At this point and time in your life an 8 year age difference is too much. Date guys in your age range until about 21. Don't push yourself on this guy.

Pump your brakes. He may be trying to be respectful of you. Age does not determine character. Give him some more time. If he doesn't try to kiss you within 4-6 weeks, then initiate the kiss, but not a bold one. Be careful what you ask for, sometimes you might just get it, and it may be nothing like what you had expected.

this can be tough, because you dont know for sure if you both feel the same way, even though you both enjoy each others company, i been in this situation and what happened with me was she dropped a subtle hint (she was humming a song called kiss me lol) and at the end of the night, i made a move and we kissed, one of the best kisses of my life too. just try and drop a minor hint that he can work with. it takes a little initiative to initiate others. hope it works out nicely.

if you're ready for a kiss, kiss him, he may be unsure about the status of the relationship, it's goo that he has not pushed yet. 17 and 22 is kind of a big range as far as age goes though. anything beyond a kiss for him could be jail time.

Since he is older, I think he is doing the complete RIGHT thing. He is worried it will look like he's only after one thing, when in fact it looks like he really likes you for you.
Hon, don't push it - 2 weeks is not long. Be happy he is not only wanting you for one thing.
Let him be the first to kiss you, you will be SO happy when it does happen - otherwise you'll be thinking, "would he have kissed me if I didnt try it first?" or "would he have kissed me - or is he just feeling sorry for me.."
Let it happen naturally. :)

If you guys are right together, he will eventually kiss you. If you think he really likes you but is shy about kissing you, tell him to! Just come flat out and say, "I want you to kiss me, right NOW!". What's the worst thing that could happen?

Kiss him girl! What are you waiting for? He may be just as shy and nervous as you, don't let this opportunity pass by! Go ahead--next time when you get to that point put it on him, he's a guy he'll enjoy it!
