quirkyalone

(adj., n., rare) 1. A state of contented celibacy which is accidentally norm-bucking. Would not even theoretically be used by those who might actually be "quirkyalone" (e.g., Katherine Hepburn; Nina Simone; Angelina Jolie post-Billy Bob Thornton and pre-Brad Pitt).

2. (adj., n., rare) A delusional, idealistic self-ascription only ironically suited to its referent (i.e., aging, undersocialized, oversmart, naive diagnosis-hunters). A form of Sartre's bad faith.

3. (n., rare) A hopeful but doomed curmudgeon.

I wish my married friends would talk about something other than their sex lives and kids and other married friends :( !! They'll never understand what it's like for us quirkyalones. I'll post more on this later -- time to feed the cat!!

Quirkyalone

Someone who is ok to be single and wait for the right person, rather than always in a relationship, looking for a relationship, or dating someone for the sake of it.

Sam would rather wait for "Mr/s Right" than date a "Mr/s Right Now" so S/he is single right now. S/he is Quirkyalone.
