Well the other day i approached an HB and her sister the first thing her sister said to me was how old are you i said 16 and her sister said shes 18. It was kind of downhill from there and i soon ejected. I dont know if her sister was telling me that to disqualify me (in a bad way) or she was just asking and im looking into that to much.
I would just brush it off.
HB: She's 18.
Me: Oh that's nice. *redirect* So what are you taking at college?
HB: I'm in grade 12.
Me: Oh that's cool, did you see the basketball game between us and [insert school] on Wednesday? I was hanging out with some of the players and blah blah blah.
Move the topic in steps. First you make a small step to something related and that will make her self conscious if she's trying to hold her age over you. If she replied confidently about what she is going to take, or what she already is taking, if she were in college, then you just relate to it by showing that you have some knowledge or understanding of the subject, or show that you are interested and ask a bit about it, then give your impression to show that you are mature and have substance
