I have lied and said I had a bf sometimes because it was easier to shut down the conversation.

Yes, I thought this was one of the perks of being middle aged: not being asked that question anymore?
If I say I have a boyfriend, I’m afraid it may go something like this:
Man: Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: Yes.
Man: Oh, what’s his name?
Me: Um… Max (Max is one of our cats.)
Man: Oh, what does Max do?
Me: Um… He’s unemployed right now.
Man: How does he get by?
Me: Um… My family supports him.
Man: What kind of a man is that?
Me: Um… Well, he’s only 5 years old & actually… he’s a cat.
Man: (Stares)
Me: (Get even more red (if that’s possible) thinking I’ve just out outed myself as someone who is into bestiality with underage cats).
