Does calling a girl less then a decade younger then me an exceptional young lady make me sound older then I am?

I said that to someone online who was talking about her political ambitions.
I said “you are an exception young lady so I’m sure you will succeed.”

Referring to someone as an "exceptional young lady" may sound a bit formal or old-fashioned, but it likely won't make you sound significantly older than you are, especially if the age difference between you and the person you are referring to is less than a decade. However, it's important to consider the context and tone of your communication, as well as the other person's perception and reaction to your words.

In general, it's always a good idea to communicate with respect and consideration for the other person's feelings and preferences, and to avoid making assumptions or generalizations based on someone's age or gender. If you are unsure how your words or actions may be perceived, it's always best to ask for feedback or clarification from the other person.
