^^You're assuming the person asking was a woman, someone you were romantically interested in.The problem here is that you are slipping into her frame.
She asked you a question, demanded an answer, and whatever answer you're gonna give, she's gona judge.
I didn't see where OP said it was a woman asking, the way I read it was it was a general question anyone would ask and often DO ask.
A co-worker, an acquaintance, a guy at the gym, a perfect stranger!
It's a very common question. People are nosey about it for some reason like they think it's their business.
A curt answer like I first posted would not be the answer I would give to someone I was romantically interested in.
