W pół kroku. Single o sobie samych
In Mid-Step. Singles on singles

Summary/Abstract: I want to stop being single, but meanwhile I'm fine with it - the contradiction within this statement (an affirmation and denial of the current state of affairs) is typical for singles' discourse. In our paper we investigate an area where the confrontation of individual experiences related to being single with popcultural and expert-generated visions of this pattern makes itself most obvious. We analyse the opinions of people who consider themselves single and who have discussed this phenomenon on a forum at the grono.net webserver. As these are concerned mainly with questions of identity in the context of everyday life, we were able to research the following areas: single identity, his/her attitude to love, friendship and relationships, certain aspects of singles, consumption and their specific language.
