I like this one. Or something about how the leader of the Evil Bunny Alliance has not yet revealed to you the details of your soon-to-be-arranged marriage.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Can somebody remind me of the name of the Indian place in redwood City I need to pick up takeout from?
Khyber India restaurant or Suraj Indian Cuisine?

Hec, I knew you'd pick fucktoy. It's like choosing monkey -- it's a very versatile answer.

If I only had a brain...
Thanks, Perkins. I was thinking of Suraj. Damn! I still haven't met you at the Afghani place! Arrrrrgh. Forgive me.
Have you been to Khyber India? Is it good?

I choose monkeys, fucktoys and versatility (not necessarily at the same time. Though not NOT necessarily either). That's my platform and I endorse this message.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
If they are over 60, I'd smile and say, "not right now" or "nothing serious" and change the subject. If they are younger, I might say something snarky/funny. I think most older folks feel that not asking about romance is somehow rude and makes it seem like they don't care what you are up to, plus they are my elders, so I give them a pass.

I vote "fucktoy", esp. if you act like you'd get graphic on the slightest provocation.

Not knowing your family, I have to ask which of (a) or (2) would cause the greater scandal. Of course, you could print out one of those photos of you macking on the ladies in Evanston and enthusiastically show everyone a picture of yourself with the new SO for (a).
Thankfully my next older cousin becoming an unwed mother and subsequently becoming half of our family's first interracial couple with her son's father was the best firebreak I could have asked for re: unwelcome personal questions. And I put a stop to the procreating questions myself one Thanksgiving by answering with brutal honesty and embarrassing my parents in front of all the relatives.
