Do you have a Boyfriend?

Well I have encountered a new situation here that I am not really sure how to approach. No one I run into here to is LDS, unless I run into them at church or inside of my house...I was at the pool when a man approached me and started making small talk. The conversation went a little bit like this

Pool Man: "I can definitely tell that you are from around here, its your accent. I could listen to southern girls talk all day long"

Me: *laugh* "Oh, where are you from"

Pool Man: "Michigan, I am just here visiting my mom for the week." "So, how old are you"

Me: *uncomfortable laugh* "I am 24"

Pool Man: "Oh wow, I thought you were younger than that. I am 27"

Me: "blaa blaa, small talk"

Pool Man: "blaa blaa, small talk"

Pool Man: "So do you have a boyfriend?"

Me: "Yep"
And then I proceded to tell him about Shantel!! Oh my goodness!

Pool Man: "Oh, what a lucky guy. What does he do?"

Me: "He is just starting law school in the fall"

Oh dear, at least I had on sunglasses so he did not see my blackened eye and think that Shantel was abusing me! :) I am really not sure how to go about this type of conversation here. Until I do figure it out, maybe I will just have to stay faithful to my most dear relationship with my Shantel... And hey! Someone thinks that I am picking up the southern accent. :)
