It's a form of flirting. So, if you're having a conversation and you're both enjoying it, but all of a sudden, she goes: "How are you single?" then that's flirting... it's more of a rhetorical question in that aspect. But if she is asking you why you are single, then she's expecting you to answer it.
You could just say that you're single by choice or why you chose to be single. You don't have to delve deeper into it, but I think she is just trying to get to know you. If you're not over your ex or something like that, she might not pursue anything with you.

Say you were busy or you were taking care of family or you were working on your goals or you relocated and had to separate from your previous girlfriend or you had health problems and were avoiding women or you did not have time for a social life so never met enough girls to build a relationship or you liked the same girl for 8 years and never shared that time with other females.
I am not fond of that one either. That is one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't questions pendong the response given. The best thing I realized is to keep it ambiguous and let their imagination run.
Thankfully I haven't had to answer this question in 23 years. But, your question is a great one. I did, however, meet a woman while I was on a trip recently who asked me "Why aren't you single."

I don't find it annoying... lol
I do speak the truth as I always do... I've never planned for marriage before, otherwise, I would be married today If someone asks if I’m single I usually say it depends on who is asking & other times I say I’m single & accepting applications.
If you’re interested in her, say, “I’ve waited all my life for you.”
If not, say, “They expired.”
Both are ‘can’t lose’ responses.Just tell her you haven't found the right person yet
If I find her interesting, "I haven't found the right one yet."
If she is not interesting, "I'm selfish and annoying."Oh, THAT question. I had a girl ask me that and I said I was waaaay too busy for a relationship right now, which is the truth. She said she thought that was an excuse!
So yeah, I dunno what they expect you to tell them :\
I would tell them about my struggles with self esteem and my stunted social development
You lie. You say "Because destiny has brought me to you" and try not to laugh when you say it. Women eat that s*** up.
Someone just asked me why I was married. What a dumb ass question!
I am single at age 37 and I just tell her I am waiting for the right woman.
The reason why your single 🤦♀️
