Being single is becoming the new normal as many delay, never get married, or decide to be a lifelong single although society fails to recognize it.

A single person may not currently be interested in being romantically involved with another person or they may never want to date another person, the may be a lifelong single. A single person may have been married, but then their husband or wife died making them a widower or a widow. Similarly, a single person may have been married but later divorced their husband or wife making them a divorcee.
