Cynthia thinks that all her problems stem from the fact that she can't find a husband. She's posted her profile online, she's asked all her friends if they know of someone who is available, and she still hasn't had a date in months. What kind of single is Cynthia?

Answer:

According to Peter Stein research into singlehood (1981), Cynthia is an ‘Involuntary temporary’ type of a single person.

Explanation:

Involuntary temporary singles are not being singles by choice (voluntarily) and are actively looking for possibilities to change their single status.  

Here, Cynthia is actively looking for husband, both online and through her friends. She did not choose to be unmarried and wants to find a spouse in order to improve her situation. Even if a person (Cynthia) stays single for a long time, it is her own perception of her singlehood that defines her as an involuntary temporary single.
