It's increasingly harder to know how old a girl is. How should I handle asking out girls I like if I accidentally hit on a 16 year old?

A way to test them is to look at their employment history on LinkedIn or ask them a question about filing income taxes. Or say you want to watch an x rated x men movie but you have to bring ID to prove your 18 or ask them if they want to join you when you meet a cousin at a bar but they will have to bring ID to get wine.

[Asker]

I'm not a stalker lmao I can't look at LinkdIn before talking to a girl I meet in a coffee shop or bookstore. Now, I actually could ask about income taxes, but that'd be stupid for someone I just met. It's easy to find out how old someone is after you know them. I'm talking about not knowing how old a girl is when I walk up to talk to her.

Maybe my question is too easy to misinterpret, but it's not hard to find out how old someone is. I'm saying that when I run into a girl at the gym or in a class or something, what should I do if I talk to her and she tells me she's only like 18 or something? It's makes me feel awkward to think about and makes me afraid to ever talk to girls at all

I have never had an issue telling women apart from highschoolers, they still look way to young. I don't know why people say they look older cause they don't if you ask me. Not every parents let's there kid dress like that, so if you find it that questionable im assuming her friend will look like a KID and that should be a GREAT BIG INDICATOR that she is way to young.

[Asker]

You seem supremely gifted lol I wish I could have you ealk around with me and guess to see who is better 😆 At this point I feel like I'm just really bad at figuring it out for some reason

[Guy13]

there's no way one can accidentally a 16 year old. Especially a 24 year old as yourself.

[Asker]

Incorrect. Girls don't look like they did when you were young, man. Makeup is part of it, but it's crazy how developed 18 year olds are now, and even some 16 or 17 year olds. There are also 25 year olds I've seen who look either 40 or 14. It's only happened a couple times, but it's awkward at my age when some 18 year olds look my age.

[Guy13]

Well walk away now that you know. Jury would eat you alive.

[Asker]

No shit lmao I'm saying what is the best way to not be creepy and let them know it was an honest mistake? Should I apologize immediately? Just say nothing and walk away? Laugh about it?

[JDavid25]

I feel like younger girls, especially teenag girls always have really long hair, and have this blank character less look on their faces when they are alone.. I usually can tell when a girl is a teenager, by looking at what she wears, and if she has a backpack on during school season.. 😂.. But she could be in college..

[Asker]

Yeah, a backpack would be obvious, but no one wears a backpack to pool rooms, lakes, beaches, and several other places lol So that's not really helpful. Plus, yes, college students can be as old as 24 and still have a backpack haha

Now the other stuff they wear might be helpful. What are examples of what you are talking about that like a 17 year old would wear but probably not a 25 year old?

The hair and expression thing is interesting. I think I know what you mean but I'm not entirely sure. I wish I had examples.

[JDavid25]

Yeah, that makes sense.. Well to beaches a lot of people do where backpacks, but that's beside the point..

And well, teenagers depending on where they are from, do where a lot of hoodies and more plain clothes than anything.. At least that's what I noticed.. Like their style hasn't developed yet.. Whereas a 25 year old where's things that compliment their bodies.. From what I've seen..

Yeah, I noticed a lot of teenagers where their down and Long usually.. Even "Black" and Latino girls do it.. Of course older women do it too, but I have noticed teenage girls usually go with the lazy hair brushed down look... And you know when theirs a party full of people older than them teenagers never look like they are having fun most times.. LOL.. And they sit around with a blank face.. Or just have a blank face in general.. I guess these are things I have noticed.. It's usually pretty easy for me at least to tell.. It's hardest from Junior year in Highschool to Sophomore year in college to tell because they look so similar..

[Asker]

Makes sense!

[NathanDavis]

don't hit at girls at high-schools, malls... birthday parties, or wherever teenage girls hang out these days

that should lower the chances dramatically

[Asker]

Well tha eliminates all places except for clubs and bars which are stupid places lmao I can't just avoid everywhere, ya know? I don't go to birthday parties, so that's a weird thing to include

[NathanDavis]

please say that you do not hang around high-school and ask girls out... or malls...

[Asker]

That's my point, why would I do any of that shit? It's stupid. I do go to malls sometimes because why the hell would I not? But I don't hit on girls there. I just do escape rooms, shop for shoes and jackets and shit, go to the arcade, etc.

[NathanDavis]

good...

[Asker]

But that doesn't apply when I'm places 18 year olds CAN be, now does it? Like the pool room at a bar or something. Unless it's fine for a 26 year old to date 18 year olds 🤷‍♂️

[NathanDavis]

you are closing onto 30 yeard olds... but wondering if 18 year olds...

and then you say you "run into minors" here and there

so, how about, instead you aim at the women that look 30's which is more of your range, to be

I assure you that those do look a lot less like teenagers

[Asker]

Gross, no. I'm not 30, and won't be dating 30 year olds until I'm that age. 30 year olds all have kids and look ragged or have been run through, so no thanks. I'll stick to my age group. 24 or 25 is ideal since I'm 26. Especially sincr I'm a virgin, I'm not going after cougars to become just another "meal" for them.

[NathanDavis]

this explains a lot

[Asker]

You don't seem to understand the question, but if you say so lmao

[Jamie05rhs]

Just don't ask anyone out in public. Date online only. The ages are listed.

[Asker]

Nope, online dating is the most fucking insane thing our modern age has created. It's just a scam for the site/app developers to make money off men while using women to attract them. All it did was bring me depression, anxiety, and 3 girls who stalked me. Fuck that shit. Humans met in person for millenia, and I'm going to keep up that normal, healthy approach.

[Ramya1]

You can ask whether what she is studying

Then you can calculate based on the others who are studying the same

[Anonymous]

Be smart, date older

[Asker]

That doesn't help me if I can't tell how old they are based on how they look 😆 Unless you mean date women I can tell are older than me. If that's the case, no way in hell UNLESS somehow there is someone older than me who isn't a mom and actually takes care of herself. Never met anyone like that though

[Opinion Owner]

Your looking for the hot moms who are divorced and have kids at university, they're the best

[Asker]

That sounds false lol It sounds like I want their daughters who just graduated from university like me 😂

[Opinion Owner]

You can try that if you wish but at least that doesn't make us competition

[Asker]

The answer is to never go where there's less competition. It's to outcompete wherever you are

[Opinion Owner]

True but I favour the older women, less liberal, more money and dominant as well
