AGE DOESN'T MATTER
Make eye contact. This is a great way to connect to someone.
Smile. The law of reciprocity says to give what you want. You will be amazed how many people smile back if you smile at them. Be sure it is a relaxed smile. There really isn't a right or wrong way to smile, so relax.
Say "Hello" or some other greeting. Be a little creative if you like. Specially if you can determine with certainty his/her first language try to greet with that language. "Aloha" and "Guten Tag" are two favorites. Be careful not to make assumptions about an individual's language based solely upon his/her appearance, however, as he could be offended if you guess incorrectly. Be warned that the more creative you are, the more likely they are to not understand you.
Evaluate the situation. If they are not maintaining eye contact with you, did not smile back, or did not respond to your greeting, then they may be otherwise distracted or this may not be a good time. If you will have an opportunity to talk to them soon (i.e. you see them on a regular basis) then you may want to wait. Otherwise continue.
Maintain eye contact and keep smiling, but be relaxed. Maintaining eye contact shows you are interested and intent, and generally everyone likes a smile.
Comment about something mutual: the weather, sports, work (if you work together), your location or situation (stuck in an elevator), traffic, etc. Talk about something you can both relate to, but not too personal. It's a great way to break the ice.
Tell them your name. Again, on the law of reciprocity, if you offer your first and last name then they will typically tell you theirs. But, it's better to start with your first name.
Offer your hand. If you offer your hand, then they will usually shake it.
Ask them a question, especially about Family, Occupation or Recreation (remember what questions are FOR). These are great things to ask questions about if you cannot think of anything else. It is important when asking questions that you are not interrogating them. Most people love to talk about themselves, but if they don't, then don't press them.
Listen to what they say. Remember details. Ask more questions that show you were paying attention.
Eventually they will probably ask you a question, too (law of reciprocity). This is called a conversation. Answer their questions, but don't get to caught up talking about yourself.

Id say find something that you guys have in common and can talk about for a while. Once you guys get talking youll find out that youre probably more comfortable with eachother than you though. And hey if it does turn out that he doesnt like you in return at least you tried. And you should also know that there is plenty of time to find someone who you truely get along with and like.

well first I think you should try to see if you have any classes with him, but just don't try too hard to get to know him, because if you just let things move along than things might turn out to be azactly what you want it to be. You can pretend to drop your pencil or books in front of him and see if he'd picks it up, if he did means he's nice and ect.

a year older is NOTHING --- unless you are both under 20 --- the best opener is hello and then see what happens
that all my lady said to me and i was hers forever --- as she is mine forever and she is a lot younger than me
