いま、つきあっているひとはいますか？

Are you dating anyone right now?

申し訳ございませんが、プライベートなことですのでお答えを控えさせていただきます。

もうしわけございませんが、ぷらいべーとなことですのでおこたえをひかえさせていただきます。

I'm sorry, but I would prefer not to answer as that is a private matter.

Maintain a polite distance, offer a slight apologetic bow, and keep a neutral, professional facial expression.

Avoid being overly persistent if the person declines to answer, as asking about dating life to a stranger can be perceived as intrusive.
