If you're curious about a guy's age but don't want to be too direct, look no further. In this guide, we'll show you 9 discreet methods to determine his age without causing any discomfort.

HOW TO ASK A GUY HIS AGE

Avoid asking him point blank. Keep the conversation light and casual, and let the question about his age arise naturally from the topic at hand. You can also try to obtain information related to his age without actually asking.

Below are some ways to inquire about a guy's age in a subtle manner:

1. Talk About Childhood Memories

Take a trip down memory lane and find out what you both experienced during your childhood. For example, you could say, "What age were you when you got your first computer? I was 10 years old when my parents got their first one."

Another way is to ask about television shows or movies he enjoyed during his younger years. With a little deduction, you can estimate his age based on his answers.

2. Ask How Old A Friend Of His Is

If you're familiar with the people he associates with, you can ask about the age of one of his friends. Although this method isn't foolproof, it's likely that he's close in age to his peers.

Try saying something like, "How old is your friend Jeff? I saw him at the bar last night but I wasn't sure if he was of legal drinking age." He might feel comfortable enough to share the information.

3. Tell Them They Look Younger Than They Are

Another option is to make an educated guess about his age, but be sure to always estimate a few years younger. This approach is considerate and also makes him feel youthful and appealing.

If you're trying to guess a guy's age, try using a strategy that makes him feel comfortable. For instance, if he appears to be in his early 30s, you could guess that he is 26. This could prompt him to share his real age. Another approach could be to compliment his youthful appearance. For example, you could say, "It's hard to tell your age just by looking at you. I'd say you're 30, am I close? You look fantastic!"

4. Ask About Their Favorite Bands

The music a guy listens to can give clues about his age. For example, if he mentions that The Beatles are his favorite band, it's likely that he was born before or in 1970. This is because The Beatles rose to fame in the 1960s. So, based on the decade in which a band was popular, you could guess the guy's age.

You can also bring up popular trends from different decades to gain insight into his age. For instance, you could ask him about the 90s and what he was up to during that time. This could help you determine if his teenage years were in the 90s, giving you a better idea of his current age.

However, music preferences may not always be a reliable indicator of age. A guy may have an "old soul" and enjoy classic music that was popular in previous decades. While these assumptions may provide some hints, they won't necessarily give you an exact age.

5. Talk About Self-Development & Life Goals

When talking about more significant life topics, the subject of age can often come up. For example, you could say, "I often wonder at what age people figure out who they truly are and what kind of person they want to be."

You could also inquire about specific turning points in a guy's life. For instance, you could ask, "What was your defining moment in life? When did you know for sure what you wanted to do?"

6. Tell Him You Have No Idea How Old He Is

If you'd prefer to avoid asking a guy his age directly, you could play it off as if you don't know. For example, you could say, "To be honest, I have no idea how old you are" or "I bet I'm at least 15 years younger than you, right?"

By addressing age in a casual manner, you can help the person feel at ease and encourage them to share their age without feeling pressured.

7. Ask About His Zodiac Sign

If you'd like to find out a guy's age indirectly, you can bring up astrology. For example, you can say, "I'm a Libra, so we must have some similarities. What's your zodiac sign?"

This could steer the conversation towards his birthday and he may naturally reveal his age while discussing his upcoming birthday.

If you want to know his exact age, you can politely ask if he would mind if you take a look at his birth chart. A birth chart, similar to a horoscope, provides his birth date and time. It's easy to calculate online once you have his birth details.

However, some people might feel uncomfortable about this, so only consider this option if both of you are interested in astrology and it feels like a natural progression in the conversation.

8. Compare Him To Another Person

Another approach to determine someone's age is by comparing it to others. For instance, you can say, "You look like my brother, who is about four years younger than me."

The guy may confirm or deny if he is around the same age as your brother, providing you with a general age range.

9. Look Him Up On Social Media

If all else fails, you can always check his profile on social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, or Google. Not everyone may have their age listed, but you can still make an estimate based on pictures, friends, and posts.

To access this information, you might need to connect with him on social media, but it's a fast way to determine his age.
