How do I [19M] gently tell to my family to **** off because I don't have a GF yet ? (by Sparky)

How do I [19M] gently tell to my family to **** off because I don't have a GF yet ?
So, christmas is coming, so the family members are. Basically, everyone in my family met at a pretty young age and I think they expect the same from me, to meet love very soon, so at family gathering eversince I was 14, comes the awkward situation where (especially my uncle [~45M], former jock and *******) they ask me if I am in a relationship, well, the answer has always been no (mainly because I've never been comfortable sharing anything personal with my family and never had a relationship long enough to tell them), and they always react like I'm some kind of alien and I need to move my ass and go out to get one (I suck at creating romantic relationship and wanna take my time), how do I tell them to **** off because that ain't their business ?
TL;DR: Family bothering me because I don't have a GF yet (never told them when I had one, because relationships didn't last enough to bother) how do I tell them to **** off ?
Edit: Thank you all for your answers, gonna go with sarcasm, just so you know, my family is for the most part well caring, it's just that I've never really communicated anything with them and don't feel comfortable doing so. But anyway, never thought I would have so much feedback, thanks !
