It seems that a majority of us want to be in relationships – but we would rather not share a house with them. That's according to a new BBC survey released today, known as "Going Solo".

The questionaire was available on the BBC's website, and it uncovers a snapshot of how people feel about being single. It reveals that on the whole women are much happier to be single than men – and that only one in five people would like to get married.

  • Richard Scase is a professor of organisational behaviour at the University of Kent. He's studied the results of the survey.


  • Jennie Bristow is a writer.
