I could say “None of your business.” Or, “That’s personal.” But those both seem harsh. I work in a small town (less than a thousand people), where everyone is in each other’s business.

I don’t care if everyone knows I don’t have a boyfriend, but the conversation never ends there. A customer asked me this yesterday and it caught me off guard. I felt like I had to explain myself.

I should know by now almost everyone doesn’t get it and not to waste my breath. Maybe just say “No, thank you.” And shut up. Resist the urge to justify my happily satisfied single existence.

What are your thoughts?
