For My Next Book: What Should I Call These Groups of People?
I need your help! I’m writing a book about people who are “single at heart” and I would love to get your suggestions for what to call 4 groups of people who identify to different degrees with being “single at heart.”
Personalities and Types of Single People
For some people, relationship status changes again and again. They are single, then married, then single again. Or they transition in and out of committed romantic relationships, even if they do not marry. In contrast, we usually think of personality as something that is at least somewhat stable.
Single at Heart? Tell Me about Your Life in Your Own Words
What it means to be single at heart
If you are “single at heart,” single life suits you. You are not single because you have “issues” or just haven’t found a partner yet. Instead, living single is a way for you to lead your most meaningful and authentic life. Even people who are not single may be single at heart.
If you see yourself as single at heart in many ways (even if not in all ways), I would love to hear more about your life, in your own words. You can click the link below to access the questionnaire, fill it out, and email it back to me. You may want to read the brief description of the questionnaire (beneath the link) first.

I am so grateful to the Romanian scholar Adriana Savu for writing this important article about single people in her country – and why so they have so often been ignored.]
