It means there is ample opportunity presented to them to marry or be in a relationship and they have CHOSEN to not be. I know many people like this and at some point even myself. There is nothing sinister about it and believe it or not - it's true. It's by CHOICE not CIRCUMSTANCE.
I hear MOSTLY women say this. I always think is there any other reason why someone would be single other than it being their own choice?
I think they say it because they think is sounds nice rolling off of their lips. It really does not make any sense.
What does it mean?
When women say that it means that no one wants to be with them. It also means that they are really jealous that their friends all have someone but they seem to have great difficulty in finding someone for themselves.
To me, it means that I have the opportunity to be taken like anyone else and the opportunity to be looking for a boyfriend...However, I allow dating to happen when the time is more convenient and appropriate for me. It means.. I am only looking for friendship, but even then, friendship do come first.
Maybe some say they are single by choice because they don't really want to say nobody is approaching them (women) or gets rejected all the time (men).
Others are really single by choice, that is, when they start to see that the other person is beginning to show interest that goes beyond friendship, that's when they start to back up because they want to remain single and just stay away from a relationship and rather continue going out with different people no strings attached.
I don't see that being single by choice has anything to do with jealousy. If you're not in a relationship and you're not actively trying to get into a relationship and you're okay with that, then you're pretty much single by choice.
