single life
Unmarried person's status
Single life is the state of being unmarried or without a romantic partner.
The phrase emphasizes lifestyle rather than mere relationship status—the freedoms, challenges, and rhythms of living unattached: She's enjoying the single life right now, The single life isn't for everyone.
Often carries connotations of independence and self-determination, though sometimes loneliness.
