The five sneaky ways to tell if someone is single without asking them
The five sneaky ways to tell if someone is single without asking them: Jackie O learns the tricks that reveal if someone has a partner as she starts dating again
In the age of modern dating, it’s often difficult to figure out if someone is single, casually dating, or in a committed relationship.
But there are five sneaky ways to work out if someone is single without having to ask them, ‘Are you single?’
Kyle and Jackie O producer Jaimee ‘Mayo’ Blazquez, who is married, explained the methods on air this week.
She tested the ‘tricks’ on five of her male colleagues in front of radio host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, who is single and dating.
The first method involves asking the person where they spent their last holiday. If they have a partner, they’ll usually mention them here.

This question worked: the man said his last holiday was in Canada and he volunteered, without being asked, that he went with his ‘partner’.
The second tip is asking if a person bites their nails.
‘So then naturally, they’ll put their hands up so you can look and see if they have a ring,’ Mayo said.
This method didn’t go to plan in the studio, however, because when Jackie asked the second man if he bites his nails, he refused to show his hands.
Eventually she persuaded him to show them, and she saw he didn’t have a ring.
The third method involves asking them ‘something about dating in general’ – for example, asking them ‘how late is too late to turn up on a date’.

They tried this line on another male KIIS FM staffer, who said, ‘Oh, geez. I’d say about 15 minutes.’
Jackie then casually asked when his last date was, and he confirmed he was single and dating by responding: ‘Last date was last week.’
The fourth trick is to ‘mention a dating app’. This typically prompts a person who is not available to say something like, ‘Nah, I don’t do the apps. I’m in a relationship.’
When Jackie asked this question to a colleague named Michael, he volunteered that he isn’t on any apps because he is ‘freshly’ single.
The fifth method doesn’t really qualify as sneaky: you just ask the person if they are seeing anyone.
‘Are you single?’ Jackie asked another KIIS FM worker, to which he responded: ‘Yes!’

It comes after Jackie revealed on Wednesday she was finally back in the dating game, almost five years after she announced her split from ex-husband Lee in 2018.
The radio presenter revealed she had joined dating app Hinge.
She told Kyle she had spent the previous night chatting to ‘three or four’ different men she’d matched with.
While her KIIS FM colleagues were thrilled for her, one confession by the usually strait-laced Jackie left Kyle shocked.
When Kyle warned her about ‘f**k boys’, Jackie said he didn’t need to worry because she wasn’t necessarily looking for a ‘long-term relationship or anything like that’.
‘What a slutty thing to say! That’s terrible. What’s happened to her?’ gasped Kyle.
Jackie replied: ‘I’m not like, “Oh, my God, I must find the one.” No. I just want to have a little bit of fun and go on a few dates.’
Despite being open to a casual fling, she stressed she would not ‘go down on a guy’ on the first date. She also has not sent any nudes.

Jackie went on to reveal she was open to dating a younger man, and had set her age range on Hinge from 35 to 55.
Meanwhile, her experience on Hinge hasn’t been without its hurdles, as some of the men she matched with did not believe she was the real Jackie O.

With her confidence at an all-time high, she said on Wednesday she had decided to wear a midriff-baring top for the first time since her twenties.
