fancy free

Heart not taken

Fancy free means unattached and without romantic commitments—free to pursue whomever catches your fancy.

Someone who is fancy free has no obligations tying them down: She spent her twenties fancy free, traveling wherever she pleased.

The phrase often appears paired with footloose: footloose and fancy free.
