What does it mean when I guy says that he's a bachelor?

[Amelia]

I was at a party and this guy that I know said that he was a bachelor but I thought he started dating a girl in August last year. Then I noticed he's no longer following her on twitter.

Is a bachelor unmarried or unmarried and not in a relationship?

1. An unmarried man.
2. A person who has completed the undergraduate curriculum of a college or university and holds a bachelor's degree.

[Jarred]

A bachelor is someone not in a relationship.

[Lilah<3]

A bachelor is a man who enjoys the single life and has no plans of committing to anyone.

[Joe]

A bachelor is a man who is UNMARRIED, not the latter.

Also, I object to over-usage of the word "guy," and I want to restore the word "man" back into the language and back into the culture.

A Bachelor is best defined as a man who has no current planned commitment to a long term partner. You could on some level class him as being AVAILABLE.

Single,Unmarried, not in a relationship, are the terms that people usually associate with bachelors, but are inaccurate these days.

What he is (or at least should be) implying to you that he is available to explore he situation between you and that it will mostly be a casual and fun. Bare in mind he may well have other women he is seeing casually at the same time that you are unaware of, hence why saying not in a relationship cannot be entirely accurate.

Now just because he might want to see you casually and other women as well, doesn't mean he has no intentions of making it exclusive, that's up to you to make him want that but is always a possibility, usually men like that are well refined and fun to be around so even if nothing comes of it you may well have a fun and memorable time.
