What is good answer to do you have a boyfriend yet?

I totally agree with RL above. These questions were directed to me at some point in my life, so even if you do find a comeback answer there will be another waiting. I do like the short swift replies."I have standards" or "it's work in progress"

A very simple reply which tends to stop nosey people in their tracks is

I haven't found anyone who deserves me yet

I would go for the "I'm happy as I am" stance and just change the subject if anyone delves into it further, it's not of their business.

However I must point out that people generally are always asking about the next stage in life and don't let you live in your current one even if you're content! I am going through similar right now....

First its, when are you going to find a partner/settle down?

Then, when are you going to get married? (my stage)

Then, when are you going to have a baby? (also my stage)

Then, are you going to have another baby?

So frustrating but I think some people just have nothing else to ask you about!

I used to get this at work all of the time as OH and I worked together. I would tell them it would happen when they'd stop asking me

The other one I got is "do I have to buy my hat yet?" and I would say "why, you going on holiday?"

My stock response was:

"Boyfriend? I'm bi-celibate and I've been invited to the convent to be awarded my honorary wimple."

No one asks me anymore!

My uncle once asked me if I have a boyfriend, to which I replied no. (I have no interest in relationships at all) My mum then replies with "it's called having sense".

Most people who know me know that too.

And thankfully, the subject of children has only ever come up once. Unfortuantely, I am in the situation where regardless of whether I want children, it can't happen for numerous reasons.

I would just come up with something personal about them, for example

"No, have you lost any weight yet?"

"No, have you got rid of your vile husband yet?"

"No, have you worked out your wife hates you yet?"

"No, do you have any interests of your own yet?"

I hate people feeling they have ownership of the life decisions of other people. Mostly they have boring lives themselves.

Too busy shagging the !!!! of anyone I fancy to find a long term relationship

I am actually happy on my own as being single hasn’t stopped me from doing everything I want to do!

I think it’s so sad that some people cannot function without a boyfriend and ignorant to think that those who don’t have one aren’t happy.

:T

Luckily I don't hear this question any more as people I interact with are well aware that I do not want or need a relationship. Some people accepted that straight away, others took some time to realise that I wasn't just trying to hide loneliness and desperation (because apparently all woman need a relationship to be happy with their lives).

"Oh, I'm not single"
"You're not?"
"No I'm independent, Silly"
