During gym class, this one girl who I have never talked to before and obviously has no interest in being my friend will ask me, "Are you still going out with Jack*?" I mumble "yes" (wondering how in the world she knows who I'm going out with). Then she says, "Well, it doesn't seem like it, because you never show him any physical affection." My goodness! It's GYM CLASS! Does she expect me to makeout with him right then and there? I personally don't believe in any PDA beyond holding hands, because I think that it is innappropriate and disrespectful to those surrounding. That's besides the point, though...Other random people who would normally never talk to me are asking me personal questions about my love life (I am in high school, by the way). What is the appropriate response to these questions? (i.e. Are you going out with Jack*? You and Jack make the cutest couple! Any trouble in paradise? etc.)

My boyfriend and I would be classified somewhat as "nerds", and the people who ask are popular. They are obviously not interested in him at all and never talk to him anyway. And my boyfriend doesn't talk to those people either, so he's not the one who's trying to "get details". He's very mature for his age and would just ask me personally if he had a question.

Hippie's got the right answer. And you can add to it, "Why, do you need some pointers on making out?"
and tell them to go to ask Nunya. Nunya business.

Well there's always the old stand-by "None of your business" which can easily be spiced up by the inclusion of one or more carefully chosen and well placed expletives. Or you could try the modern twist. "This is any of your business...HOW exactly?" which can also be modified with expletives. Also if you just ignore this person, I mean pretend she doesn't exist, never make eye contact or speak to her at all, not only will it really p!ss her off, she will eventually get the picture and stop trying to interact with you. In short, you have a lot of options available in dealing with this situation... one of the most creative however might be taking in the other direction completely. When you are accused of not showing this 'Jack' enough physical attention, you could reply, "What are you talking about? I just gave him a hummer in the janitor's closet not thirty minutes ago." just to see the look on this other girl's face (you should have a camera phone handy) I think that would be extremely funny, but hey, that's just me.

Just politely tell them that it's none of their buisness. You don't normally talk to these 2 girls so you have no obligation to tell them anything about your love life. They're probably just looking for something to start trouble anyway.
Now, if they were actually your friends then it might be different, but even then you may not really want to tell them anything. It would be totally up to you.

Don't let it bother you-- because I agree! I hate the couples who walk around in the halls in school, like, mwah mwah mwah, all over eachother. It's so gross. Just keep it that way, I think, because some people are just nosy but you and your boyfriend sound cute together because you're willing not to get into that.

give a vague answer or say something like, "Why do you ask?" that question will some times stop them in their tracks if they are just being nosey. if the person says to you that you two make a cute couple then accept the compliment. keep your values and beliefs...they're yours. be proud.

Um, you answered your own question. I hate it when people do that.
Tell them you aren't stupid and don't believe in PDA beyond holding hands because it's rude and disrespectful. Oh, and that you aren't a whore, like they are. (OK, that last part I decided to throw in, but you might not wanna say it...Or else there's gonna be a...GIRL FIGHT!)

One persons relationship with another is the business of the two people involved and no one else.

I make things up.
I reply with the most shocking, disgusting details, he really likes ______ position, but I prefer _______, but it gives him back pain, so we simply ______.
Their face is registering disbelief, and I simply say, "well YOU were the one who wanted all the details, right?"
screw them. They asked for it is how I feel.

you should tell her to tell jack next time ask himself because no one would do this unless asked to by someone like your BF Jack.
