"Because I'm a lesbian" or "I have a girlfriend" should be a nice shocking response
Actually, it's been my experience that that's the response certain family members and accquaintances are expecting in the "What? You're Thirty and you don't/haven't had a boyfriend/long-term partner. What's wrong with you!!!" vein.
Generally, I go for the shrug and pained smile "haven't met the right guy" routine. It's easier than going through the lingering childhood-from-heck, shy, romantic-marshmallow, "no, really, I haven't met the right person" explaination.
