Quirkyalone (KWUR.kee.uh.lohn) : A coin by American writer, Sarah Cagen, described in detail in her book by the same name.
So what does it mean?
A person who enjoys being single and so prefers to wait for the right person to come along rather than dating indiscriminately. It was in her book by the same name that she explained the term.

Of late, thanks to my job, I have been coming across a fascinating lot of women.
Professionals mainly. Working mainly in various engaging fields - in late 20s or well into their 30s.
Smart. Successful. Well read. Well travelled. Ambitious.
Creative. Single. Optimistic. Confident. Non-conformists. But above all - Interesting!
Unhooked and happy, they are in no hurry.
