If you are single, will you stay single? It depends.
; there are more aromantics among people who are single at heart than among those who are not. There are relatively more asexuals, too.)Single life is often regarded as transitory, a place where people mark time until they find The One. But many people, including the single at heart, have no interest in unsingling themselves. They want to stay single.
It is not just the single at heart who feel that way. Tessler cited a national survey of adults in the US who were asked, “If the right person came along, would you want to be married?” and found that nearly half said no!Tessler makes the case that whether single people are likely to stay single depends on whether they want a romantic relationship and whether they are open to one. Those two may sound like the same question, but they aren’t necessarily.
Some single people fit the conventional understanding of what it means to be single: they want a romantic relationship and they are open to one. Maybe, to them, singlehood does feel like something is missing. They are available, and they hope their singlehood will be temporary.For many single people, such as the single at heart, being single is the life they want. It is their best life – their most meaningful, fulfilling, and authentic life.
By seeing their lives as fulfilling rather than lacking, by understanding that there are important relationships beyond romantic ones, by not categorizing themselves as “available,” and by seeing their singlehood as permanent rather than temporary, they are defying stereotypes of what it means to be single.
