Because of the prominent mention of people who are single-at-heart in the New York Times, I have been getting more inquiries than usual about what it means to be single-at-heart. Research on the concept is just beginning. Below are links to what I have written so far, and what I have learned from the first 1,200 people who took the single-at-heart survey.
The logo, by the way, is from my “Single at Heart” blog at Psych Central. I write just as often about single-at-heart topics at my “Living Single” blog at Psych Today.
