Single vs. Relationship

My friend: So, are you still single?

Me: define single

Answers i usually get: (I will NOT comment on any of them, at least not now!)

- not talking regularly to a certain guy on the phone

- not going out with someone

- not sleeping with someone

- being able to go out with whomever u want

- not having a ring on ur finger

- not being in a relationship ( me love you, you love me)

- not in a stable emotional relationship

- not seeing anyone exclusively

- not planning future things with someone

So as you see.. Most people would NOT agree on the definition of single..

So why the hell don't u explain what u mean when ur asking me???! :D

P.S. The Apple disctionary thing defines it as "unmarried, or not in a stable sexual relationship".. Get that for being clear! LOL

Wouldnt it be more efficient for you to scope your answer? ;) I imagine that anyone asking you if you're single would be expecting an answer that is relative to what you define as being single :P

After all, if person A defines single as "not in a state where conditions A, B and C are true" and person B's definition only requires that A and B not be true... that could definitely lead to some funny stories ;)

Well.. one thing I am learning about DiDi, is that she is VERY precise.. A question can be broad.. like: How are you? but what part of you did I actually mean ;)

But I agree, the term " Single" differs... But I know if that friend wanted to ask you if you're getting laid, she would have bluntly asked " DiDi are you getting laid?"
