Vague answer the best you can do
by: Annie

Maria,
It is rude for anyone to even ask the question while your date is standing within hearing. However, since you can't control other people's rudeness, I would answer in the following manner: Look very sweetly at the date in question while saying "John is a very special friend with whom I enjoy spending time with."

This gives enough of an answer without actually giving the status of your relationship to the person asking while also not putting any pressure on your date to define a relationship when he/she may not be ready to answer that question either.

Good luck!

I'd really like to know your opinion on the subject!
by: Maria

Dear Eunice,

I asked this etiquette question some time ago and you've allowed its publication on elegantwoman.org. First of all, I'd like to thank you for that. However, you didn't post any answer yet, neither has any reader. I wouldn't insist on this point, but the fact is that I really need some advice on the topic and I think you're probably the best person to help me because I have your criteria in high consideration :)
The real point of the question is that I'd like to know how to talk to my friend about the status of our relation, not forgeting that I want to be a real lady.

Thanks for reading and sorry for bothering :)

Maria

Our words reveal our refinements; they tell the discerning listener of the company we have kept; they are the hallmarks of education and culture. - Dale Carnegie

I recognize but one mental acquisition as a necessary part of the education of a lady or gentleman, namely, an accurate and refined use of the mother tongue. - Dr Charles W. Eliot
