There are many things that make someone be single. Being single could be because of personal choice or because of relationship consequences.
Being single nowadays could mean a lot of things. Singlehood nowadays exists on a spectrum. Here are five categories of being single:
Single by choiceThese are people who have made a choice to be single in their life. They don’t want to be in a relationship since they find being alone more fun and enjoyable than being in a relationship.
Single but not searchingThese are people who are single but not looking for a partner. However, for such people, they can be available when a right choice presents itself for a relationship. They are single but not avoiding being in a relationship, just that they don’t look for one.
Single and searchingSingle people who are seriously in need or a relationship. Such people strongly desire to be in a relationship and they are always looking for a perfect partner. Sometimes single and looking people end up with any partner provided they are in a relationship.
BusySuch people don’t have time for a relationship since they have focused their minds on their career, entrepreneurship, dreams, scholastics or parenting. They might be interested in a relationship but their schedules cannot allow them to enjoy the relationship hence always end up being single.
