Either way, he hasn't done anything except give you the occasional smile or flirtatious gesture. If he really wanted to go out with you he would be actively trying to get to know you better. He would have exchanged phone numbers with you, suggested times together etc.
This guy is a waste of your time. Move on, you can do much better!

So you're 25 and interested in dating a 17 year old? I really hope not. I'm the same age as you and that would never fly with me, regardless of how old he looks. I think this should totally be flipped around and you should be the one that's turned off my his age, not vice versa. I doubt that's his reasoning, maybe it is. But honestly, you really shouldn't care. He's a boy! Guys that are pushing 30 don't even have their act together most of the time!

Well if he's 17 and you're 25 that's illegal in most states. Maybe because of this he is intimidated. What's a 17 year old really have to offer to an adult anyway? That's just my opinion.
