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.
