No one is under any obligation to disclose anything about their relationship/dating life to their customers. I have a summer job in retail. I talk to customers all the time, male and female.

Sometimes topics come up that are vaguely personal ( due to natures of merchandise sold) such as kids or hobbies etc I would be shocked if some guy thought I must disclose I have a
boyfriend. What for? Also since you are that significantly older she didn't expect romantic interest. In fact she maybe made up a boyfriend
