Depends on how polite you want to be. Yes, these kind of questions are rude, but at the same time why alienate family? With my mom I used "When I meet a guy who isn't an a total a^&hole" that normally gets her started on going off on guys and off my back. With other family I normally say "Oh I am dating casually now because I am concentraiting on my career right now." Then I start talking to them about school, normally that either gets them off topic of my love life or bores them enough they walk off. Either way I am happier.
