When did the word single change meanings?

Tereasa Sorensen: No you don't unless you have good coz to, and if that coz is cuz u don't trust him, then maybe you should be using that energy to build his trust insted of snooping.

Dorris Homola: On January,8,1997 at 4:16 pm Eastern standard time.

Hipolito Rightmire: Legally is hasn't changed. Vernacularly it has changed between the time I was a teen and the time my son is (now). Personally - I think it is a bit ridiculous for a 14-year-old to not be considered "single".

Star Gollnick: i always thought it meant available or mateless! i would never describe myself as single if i had a bf!

Robt Heemstra: single has always meant that a person was unattached in social circles

Davis Zou: apologize of course...that wasn't necessary...besides...that will kill you if you don't because you will be dying to know and as you said..your imagination can take you long ways!

Andrew Sinatra: I believe it is a cultural type thing. The word single i! s still used in both ways. You just have to figure out the context the person is using it in. Due to online dating sites, most people see "single" as available. This is because these sites use "single" as a status, along with "divorced", "married" or "in a relationship".

Aron Ramu: Don't know but what about the loss of real meaning for .....gay and lusty?

Isreal Kochheiser: yes you have a right but be careful what you looke for you just might find it

Brittanie Zakutney: You don't have a right, it doesn't belong to you. So yes that is nosyIf you don't have trust you have NOTHING!

Rick Duchane: Common sense and as a courtesy maybe. It's misleading (dishonest) to say your are single when in fact you are part of a couple. What some chics won't do for free drinks...you make the rest of us look bad ! ( you know who you are)

Maryland Gareau: A couple weeks ago., and I asked her if she was virgin. She said yes.Then I asked her if she's ever do! ne anything sexual. And she said she had with this one guy.So ! last night, I asked her what she did with him. I've been wanting to know exactly what happened because my imagination could go long ways. She wouldn't tell me, so I hung up on her in frustration.Should I apologize to her, or not to talk to her for a few days?...Show more

Wilbur Marksberry: What does it matter what shes done with this guy?Shes with you now...

Alisa Kaleiwahea: If your bf is into that sort of "stuff" lol then I think he will enjoy it greatly. But it seems a little full on if you have never done anything like this before for him

Hobert Dula: Single means one. SO, when referring to a person, it does mean without a mate.I think these days people are so bold to assume that if you're single youre "available"...just so they can pry into your life and "help out" by hooking you up with someone.

Jasper Mangel: sounds like an abusive relationship, find a new valentine

Hal Rouse: You pull it out, I latch on quickno size doubt,about that di! ck.You breathe and moanand lean right backand as you groan I grab your sack.You force it down and watch me suffocate slow,your bloodshot eyes share a small frown I guess self defense aint just for show.No more airI'm lost and dyingwith not a care,he continues sighing....Show more

Ninfa Aronica: when the 21st century came. we're in the 21st century, things are different

Rheba Cockman: Of your examples, "text" is the only one that has changed in the last ten years. You could surf the web in the 90's. "Thread" was a common term on Usenet and on mailing lists in the 80's and 90's. You could shoot someone an email in the 80's and 90's. (I first used email in the late 1980's, but it was around before then.) I guess it depends on how much of a "bit" before ten years ago you're willing to accept. One non-technology word I can think of as an example is "waif", which has only had its modern meaning of a very thin woman for a little less than twenty years. That's still mor! e than ten years, but it's no newer than some of your other examples...! .Show more

Antone Youla: i think it still means the same thing. avaliable and not going out with anyone r the same thing so i wouldn't worry

Troy Monsivais: Nosey. 1 day to 10 years it doesn't matter if you don't trust him them you should'nt be with him

Elbert Donatelli: if hes got nothing to hide, ask him, he'll let you

Chastity Doderer: No

Von Houskeeper: So basically he kills you? No I don't think he will like this at all

Elli Esaw: good ,? don't no?.

Star Gollnick: Apologize. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ajix0...Please answer my question

Brittanie Zakutney: You're being to nosy..ask him..."Is it okay if I read your phone messages from time to time?"..and tell us what he said..:D

Vern Serratos: only time when it's right is when he's cool with it. cuz if you go ahead & look, that might suggest you got a lack of trust or something if he were to find out

Ramona Pago: Yeah you really need to apologiz! e to her....That is her right not to tell you what she did with her ex boyfriend. What she did in her past is her business ...and if she choses to tell you then she will do that when she is ready ....and if she don't want to tell you then you have to learn how to respect and deal with that. . I really think that you should tell her that you are sorry .Good luck

Vida Miss:

Nannie Kasee: I couldn't agree more. Even married people say "I'm single" when someone asks their status.

Ramona Pago: 27/4/1992

Frank Gazaway: When the phrases "In a relationship", "Domestic Partnership", etc was added to most forms at places such as the hospital, DMV, Tax Returns, Health Questionnaires, etc. I've used all terms except Domestic Partnership.

Mark Villifana: apologizeI had to learn the past is the past.let it go

Karey Dunken: I always thought that it ment that you didn't have either. You were not married and you were not dating either. ie mateless.

Lashawnda Anteby: I suspect it was when marriage went out of style for! a lot of people, which would be in the 1970s and 1980s. After Marvin v. Marvin, when people found out that common law marriage was not recognized in many states, they needed a new way to designate their relationship. Personally, I still think it's not fair to refer to yourself as single if you are living with a "significant other." If someone asks whether you are single, I would suggest you say, "not really." Then you get a chance to explain.Basically, they are trying to find out whether or not you are available, so they don't go getting serious about someone who is not. Play fair, folks; it's to your advantage in the long run....Show more

Whitney Saborido: apologize get over the past
