#1 Kill 'em with sarcasm

Take a page from Bridget Jones's playbook and respond with, "I suppose it doesn't help that underneath my clothes, my entire body is covered in scales."

#2 Turn the tables

Even if you don't necessarily want your Aunt Diane's dating advice, asking her for tips will take the focus off of you and might actually be useful (though we can't promise anything).

#3 Use TMI to your advantage

If you're brave enough, getting into the gory details of your last messy breakup will definitely make the offender wish he'd never asked, and chances are, you won't get that question again this year.

#4 Play the sympathy card

Sigh wistfully, misting up if you're able, adding, "I was just wondering that exact. Same. Thing."

#5 If all else fails, be honest

If you don't have the energy for a snappy response this time around, try just being honest you're focusing on work, you're enjoying being single and going out with friends, you haven't found the right person whatever the case may be.
