Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thing is, that does little to imply it's none of their business.
I don't often smile brightly, so when I do, it tends to make people nervous.
I've mostly trained my family not to ask if I'm seeing anyone. Weirdly enough, it's my father who keeps asking if I'm dating. I have no idea why my lack of a boyfriend dismays him so. I suspect he's a little too old-fashioned for his own good.
my family knows I wqould tell them if I was serious with anyone, also that I have no time. Anyone in my family who forgets the above, gets something along the lines of "good God no".
Strangers or not close friends - they would get a puzzled look hopefully conveying the lack of acceptability in the inquiry, then probably a laugh and "with what time?".

Huh. Yes. That's definitely a little unnerving.
Any suggestions to answers that will imply people, who I don't necessarily dislike, that this is not their business?
I like "that's an awfully personal question" with a smile. It even says none of your business, but delivered in the right tone, it's disarming. Then, immediately change the subject. If they persist, then you can be rude. Cause they started it t /four year old
You can alway petulantly say "no, do you?". It's childish, but works equally well with single or married inquirers of either gender.

I know, right?

Woot!
My grandmother always used to ask me, "How's your social life?" which was code for "do you have a boyfriend?"

see, that's classy. you can answer it however you want.
My Grandparents keep asking me if I have a GF. My Dad is in full player mode himself so he keeps encouraging me to go out and hook up with random girls. My mom knows I'll tell her if something happens (in some universe somewhere in another time-space).
The Grandparent thing is unnerving a bit. The last time we had a talk about it, they told me I had to name my daughter Celeste. It's some kind of family name.
