Single is not being in a committed relationship. If you have a girlfriend/bf/married/partner(long term), then you are not single. If you have a boothy call buddy or on-the-side sex partner or just a plain ol player, you are still single.

When you are not legally married you are single.

It doesn't matter if you have BF/GF.

Whether u are engaged or in a relationship, as long as you are not legally married, you are still single IMO.

if someone is divorced, that is legally de-married, is he/she now single?
Re: What's Your Definition Of Being Single?( A Single Person) by blackmale(m): 4:20am On Oct 04, 2011
having gone through all the comments above, that means one can still be single with kids, if you re not legally married!

I think those are just called divorced. Like widow/widower.

Op, "single" as a word is self explanatory, whether u've got a bf/gf or even engaged, so long as there is no legal document to describe or notarize ur union, U ARE SINGLE!


Most forms eg, when opening a bank account, all u see in the box to check for status are "single", "married" or "divorced".


What beats my imagination is when people use terms like "it's complicated" or "in an open relationship". WTF is that
?

Yes now! Dat is why there's what is called 'SINGLE MOTHERS'.

Being single implies that a person is not officially/legally attached to anyone as a partner.

You're single till you're married because anything can happen, even when you think you have met the one they can still turn around and break your heart embarassed

henryskywalker2003:

@OP. What you've got to realise is that, there are four major types of spoken/written english viz, British, American, Australian and Nigerian English. Borrowing from the other 3, the Oxford English Dictionary defines single as "not involved in an established romantic or intimate relationship". But we nigerians like twisting things to suit our twisted ways so we now have in Naija english, Single but searching, engaged but single etc. Someone even said here that single can be anything thing as long as u are not married to the person. Makes me wonder what you'll call live-in lovers?

100%
prostitutes keep bed mates/sex partners, singles have no one

Being single is not only not married. It means u dont have a wife or husband. U r not legally boned with anybody. U can have plenty girls,even engaged or have children and still b single. That's why divorce is created for anybody married but now single. Hope l make sense, Now I have many girl friends, many fiancee, also engaged and in courtship. If u r gonna ask me if am single. I will tell u technically NO but YES l am.

Well. . . . there's relationship status and marital status - the latter being the most formally recognized while the former probably an invention of social network. Between these two, single can mean a million and one different things. . . . especially with respect to the former!
