Singleish
I philosophy/lifestyle on love and relationships in which one remains single in the sense of not entering any kind of committed relationship but continues to date and enjoy non-platonical relationships with not intentions to start one. They do not want to simply have sex with people or they would just be a player.
They are crucially open about their desires and do not lead anyone into thinking they mean to commit more than they do.
