When the person you are speaking to inserts ‘I have a boyfriend’ (or equal) into the conversation and it seems out of normal flow in any way I believe it does mean ‘please stop talking to me’ / ‘please stop spending attention on me’. I interpret it as them being uncomfortable for some reason as they have raised a defense. Best to just exit the conversation as politely and quickly as possible and move on.
In isolation it doesn’t reflect on you at all, you can’t know their mind. If it happens over and over and over, you may wish to reflect on your approach. Therapy maybe, or have a trusted friend watch your interaction for comments.
