@Amber, is the order of lines by "starting field" matters?

AWK solution (ordered by sort command):
awk 'NR==FNR a[$1]; next $1 in a' file1 FS='[[:space:]]*,[[:space:]]' file2 | sort
FS='[[:space:]]*,[[:space:]]'- field separator that is set forfile2
The output:
aa , 6 , tg16
bb , 7 , tg17
cc , 8 , tg18
dd , 3 , tg13

The simplest solution I could think of:
grep -f file1 file2 | sort
