having a boyfriend

i always said that i would be a bachelorette until i was
thirty. for some reason, i couldn't imagine being in a
relationship that meant as much to me as the one i'm in
now does. but now i'm with Geoff, and i wouldn't have it
any other way. the only thing is, and i've never really
had this problem before, is that i find myself in
situations where a guy is flirting with me and i have no
idea how to tell them that i have a boyfriend. i mean, i
don't really want to embarass them, and i don't want to
embarass myself by being like "oh, i have a boyfriend" and
have them say that i totally misread their intentions. so
i just kinda rebuff them, which may be even more mean, and
hope that someday they see me with Geoff and put two and
two together. i don't want to be one of those girls who
drops the boyfriend word every two seconds, cause that
gets really annoying (same with guys and the girlfriend
word). i mean, we understand that somebody finds you
desirable, you don't need to remind us every two seconds.
but yeah, i imagine i should say it every once in a while
just to be sure that people are aware. i think it's just
such a foreign thing to me, having a boyfriend again.
