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?
Mal: There's plenty orders of mine that she didn't obey. Wash: Name one! Mal: She married you!

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

Always Anti-fascist!
I vote "fucktoy", esp. if you act like you'd get graphic on the slightest provocation.

Vote now! Vote now! Vote now!
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay now that msbelle's gone and I'm not distracted with trying to work out what she's teasing me about ... I'm looking for a Smallville picture (I'm too behind to go into Boxed Set right now) ... the one where Lex has the cut on his face. Can anyone give me either a screencap site or an episode name?
Both, of course, would rock.
I choose Lex and facial wounds (at the same time). That's my platform, and I endorse this message.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I vote for both a and 2. Though if you want the genteel and shit version, you could demure only that you are "having a good time, wouldn't want to define..."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Damn! I still haven't met you at the Afghani place! Arrrrrgh. Forgive me.
Of course. I figured you were probably busy with the new job and all, or else you hated me.
Either way, I figured dinner could wait.
Have you been to Khyber India? Is it good?
Not yet.
