OK! I'll let you into a little secret.
People get on together by forming relationships and it is good to remember what
has been said by whom.
When someone says "If I were 30 years younger" in an earlier post. Then it is
safe to assume that they are older than 40. You don't ask ladies of a certain
age, their age. Control your base instincts, if you can :)
Seriously, you might want to think about how others perceive you. I don't mean
that in a negative way but how you can project the nice person inside to the
outside world. So that others can see it too.
Anyway no point in over egging the pudding. Have a good New Year.
Regards
Stephen

What range of ages would that "certain age" be? 5-120?

Now that phrase is (as I'm sure you know) used to avoid saying that a person,
usually a woman, is no longer young but is not yet old.
And as a mere male (I can't multi-task) I am averse to defining it.
Seriously a couple of months ago I had reason to ask someone their age as I
suspected that they were quite young and I wanted to write my replies
accordingly and not make inappropriate comments. It took a lot of effort on my
part to do so. I'll be glad when the social etiquette for the internet has been
worked out.
Regards
Stephen

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.

I agree with Stephen on using standard skills also on the internet as if
it were RL. Besides you are not really interested in her age, but in
that of her sister. That would also have been a more safe question, even
if you wanted to estimate Sherry's age. ;)
