How to respond when people ask you if you have a GF?

[zorg198]

Hello All,

I was wondering what is the proper /smart way to answer the question: Do you have a girlfriend?

Depends if you have one.

If you do - yes
If you don't - no

that's easy , but there are board people who ask why

It depends on whose asking, and honestly if you have to ask this you have a long way to go. If you don't want to answer just change the topic or flat out ignore them. You aren't obligated to give an answer when a question is posed. You can simply ask "what do you think?" and whatever answer they tell you just reply "maybe" and move on. Figure it out on your own. Its strange how I've never been asked by any girls, though they have their own agendas, whether I had one or not has never mattered they want what they want

"Why not?"

Your reaction should depend on whether or not the person who is asking you is, in fact, judging you (most likely for not having a girlfriend).

If it's someone you know is just "looking out for you" -friends, family -, you can be honest - you haven't found someone you want to get attached too, etc.

But really, people who ask you why you don't have a girlfriend are... well, it's just not something you ask. So you can reply with "why not?" Or just shrug and say "who knows?"

In any case, it shouldn't be a big deal.
