In "Romeo and Juliet", Juliet is 13, but how old is Romeo?

Good question. Juliet's age is, you're quite right, specified by the Nurse and Lady Capulet in Juliet's first scene as not-quite-fourteen.
As for Romeo's age, Shakespeare never tells us! We know - from what Friar Laurence and the Nurse comment on various occasions - that he is a "young" man (2.4.119) but we don't know precisely how young. A stage tradition has grown up of playing him as older than Juliet.
Shakespeare's sources don't really help either. Arthur Brooke's poem about Romeo and Juliet has Romeo's "tender chin" without a beard - suggesting, perhaps, anything from 12 - 18? And Bandello - whose novella Giulietta e Romeo was the source for Brooke's poem - gives his age as 20 or 21.
So the answer is - we just don't know.
That's a good question, Romeo is supposedly to be around 18 or 19 years old.
