fancy-free
Free from entanglements
Fancy-free means unattached and without romantic commitments—free to pursue anyone who catches your fancy.
The word appears most often in the phrase footloose and fancy-free, describing someone unburdened by obligations or responsibilities: She spent her twenties footloose and fancy-free, traveling wherever she pleased.
