‘How do you get around it? Not giving the guy (the potential date) your age? What is he told when he asks how old the proposed girl is?’
I get around the question by answering as I outlined above (Ie. ‘I date guys between the ages of X and Y’)
I’m not saying age isn’t something that we use as a ballpark. I’m just saying that A) it’s a sensitive question, so tread carefully. And B) You (potential shadchan/peson trying to set someone up) don’t actually have to know our exact age. A range is enough – ie if the girl dates guys between 28 and 36, that gives you an idea of her age and gives you a ballpark in which to look.
If the guy wants to know how old the girl is- you then do really need a specific number, you can then call the girl and say the guy is X years old, he wants to know how old you are- what would you like me to tell him?
