You can alway petulantly say "no, do you?". It's childish, but works equally well with single or married inquirers of either gender.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

That's definitely a little unnerving.
I know, right?

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

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.

Apparently, I'm too special for the database to contain me.
The new shower curtain rod hasn't fallen down yet! I think that's a minor victory.
Why isn't it lunch time? I want Thai food.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The impact of my bright smile is diluted--I use it way too often. Especially considering I'm a misery-bearing git.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My grandmother couldn't keep up the "how's your social life" ficton. She'd ask the question in just that way, and I'd answer however I wanted, and then she'd say, "you know that's not the social life I'm asking about!"
Ah, grandma, classy as hell for one-and-a-half conversational exchanges.
