Are singles looking for romantic relationships?

The answer, by and large, is no, according to a Pew Forum survey.

Among all singles, just 16% say they are currently looking for a romantic partner. That amounts to 7% of the adult population.

Of course, some may want to interpret a no in this survey as synonymous with too-chicken-to-say-yes. Or, in the case of women, saying no may reflect a commitment to traditional gender roles.
