I always say I'm happily single. I make sure that they know I have zero interest in getting married again (divorced) and dating isn't really my thing. My story is that I care for a disabled parent, therefore, I don't have time for relationships.

I wear lots of rings and when asked if I have a boyfriend/husband I always say "I have a few, teehee" and keep the conversation moving. I don't like to talk about having a boyfriend or being married because it leads to very personal questions or profound statements like "IF YOU WERE MY GF I WOULD NOT LET YOU DO THIS" yeah ok bro
*As for having a "few" I usually get asked if I have room for more, and I say "haha, I'll let you know, they keep me pretty busy/just trying to keep them from finding out about each other!" I pretend I'm a player and that cuts the bullshit from the "srs relationship" types, the "captain save-a-hos" and usually even works on the guys who just want to bang, because (in their mind) I'm already getting filled with dicks and don't have time for them.
It has been working for me way better than any other approach, and it works well with my style, too (thinking of Dead Milkmen's song Punk Rock Girl - "I asked her if she had a beau/she looked at me and smiled and said she did not know")
