How many of these never-married men are in a relationship? Unmarried != single. Stats on the number of singles who have never been in a relationship would be far more valuable.

Relationships, sexual or otherwise, are not subject to paperwork. The days of relationships, sex, or even reproduction being tied to marriage are long gone.

The article mentions that widows impact the count for single women, so yes I think it is speaking about single people who have never been married, even if they did have a relationship of some kind in the past.
