How to let my boss know that I want to keep work and private life separated without being rude?

- I'm an introvert and don't want to talk about my life at work. I don't consider them as "friends" and want to keep my distance.

He ask me EVERY week what my plan is for the weekend. I always say nothing because I dont want to tell. And when he ask about my personal life I always keep my answer short, but he still can't read the sign.

He often plan team building and lunch/dinner outside of work hours, also in the weekend! When i said I'm not free this or that weekend, he said: but everytime I ask you what you do in the weekend you said nothing.

- What I do or don't do in the weekend (outside of work hours) is non of his business.

it's a small company with only 4 people so he always try to find a date that everyone can. So it's harder to avoid comparing to big companies with lots of people.

How to firmly but kindly reject all of his (future) invites? I do like my job so don't want to have a bad employer/ emoloyee relationship with him.
