	On 2008-09-09 at 16:12:40, Lee J Haywood wrote... Um, nope - still single.

	On 2008-09-09 at 16:15:30, Lee J Haywood wrote... No, I meant that I've been in a relationship at some point. You're not generally considered single when you have a girlfriend, are you?
	On 2008-09-09 at 16:18:58, BorgClown wrote... @Lee J Haywood: I was trying to understand the term. So single means having a partner, and not unmarried. I suppose bachelor means not married then?
	On 2008-09-09 at 16:26:24, Lee J Haywood wrote... A bachelor is a man who has never been married.
