A long time. I would guess two years or more.

That's what both my husband and my friend who is visiting said as well.

I think it depends on how old you are. It's relative, "ages" for a 70 year old can mean something very different from that of say, a 20 year old.

Ages to me is exaggerated because it's not possible not to have seen someone for "ages." I just like to keep it factual so I figure the amount of time and say so like "a year or so ago." Ages to me would cover a broad period depending on the tendency of the speaker to "exaggerate" things.

Ages is entirely up to the person who says it..



But, it is usually exaggerated.
