Description From so far realized interviews, one particular observation sticks out; in the case of significant number of the respondents, who have been found on the base of criteria economic independence and without a partner, it came out in the course of interview that they are maintaining some form of regular and longer term relationship (however they characterize themselves as single). Such relationships are realized rigorously on sexual or friendly basis, possibly combined, and are not classical partnerships and possible bases for eventual families (10 from 25 respondents). It seems that, it is not that much that people stay without a mate but rather that in numerous instances they tend not to be in reality precisely alone - the matter is an emergence of alternative relationships forms to the traditional relations (marriage, unmarried cohabitation). New forms of relationships provide space for maintaining high professional mobility and flexibility necessary for survival on generally more and more flexible labor market and even more in the specific Czech transition context characterized by the fast course of change.
