asking someone about their age is one of the sensitive topics of social discussion in many cultures. Even in some countries, the law does not allow asking someone about their age in job interviews. As ageism is becoming more prevalent in many societies nowadays, you should always be very careful while talking about someone’s age. As a general rule, you can say, “Would you mind if I ask how old you are?” to ask someone about their age. If you have genuine reasons to ask about someone’s age, explain the reasons and be sure that they are comfortable talking about their age. Be polite in choice of words, tone, and body language so that they do not feel offended by being asked about their age.
