It's really just a way to start a conversation. Honestly, people most likely don't care that much one way or the other. It's nothing personal, mind you, but very few people in the world honestly care much at all about your personal info. It's not just you - it's me, it's whomever. Quite often on these pages we hear of people wanting to know how to answer people who ask "Are you two going to get married?", or "Planning on having any children?". Rude questions? Perhaps, but at the end of the day the people who asked them don't really care one way or the other. It's just stuff to talk about until the next subject comes up. I think we're probably all like that to some extent. The only people who actally care are your mom and Aunt Edna. The rest is just chit-chat. Don't stress. In five minutes they won't even remember the answer.
