At what point do you think you're no longer single? Is it when you're not interested in dating another person at the same time? After you've "defined the relationship"? When you're monogamous? Some further step?
I got a call from a guy I've known for almost 15 years to catch up. After misc. chit chat, he asked if I was single. My relationship had recently ended and I wasn't seeing anyone at all, so my answer was an easy yes. I asked him the same. He said he was, and went on to explain who he had dated over the past few years, how it had been a while since he'd had sex, etc. and that he'd like to go out. We had a number of texts back and forth, but no mention of getting together. I decided to ask if he would like to make plans for dinner this week, and he called... to explain that he was "kind of seeing" a girl and wanted to see where it would go. I reminded him that he said he was single and he said, "well, we haven't really talked about where we are yet, so I technically am single". The last time we had talked, I was just starting a relationship and was probably in the same spot, but I told him I had just started dating a guy. I'm frustrated that he wasn't forthcoming with me (we were super close about 12 years ago and have a lot of history) but it made me wonder when other guys view themselves as no longer "single?" What say you?
