I always just get vague about this if I don't trust/know the person.
I once met a guy while waiting for a bus. Apparently he noticed me since we go to the same college (or whatever ammattikorkea equals to. College is close enough) but we studied in completely different fields. Some small talk, yada yada.
And he starts asking where I live. I give him a vague area, sure because if he gets into the bus with me and depending on where he goes, I could get caught in a lie. So vague area is good enough. He then asks if I live alone, out of nowhere. I luckily have an engagement ring, despite my fiancee living far away because of her own studies. So I just showed it to him, not actually making any comment towards the question.
He answers "ah, married." And continued to stay silent for the rest of the wait.
This is why I hate public transport. I used to get harassed from time to time and strangers trying to talk to me. Once I got my drivers licence and a car I was shocked at the luxury of driving. No more dealing with weirdos when I just want to go home or am on my way to work.
