I am a single vs I am single

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'I am single' is the more common, natural way to express that someone isn't in a relationship. On the other hand, 'I am a single' could be used in a specific context where 'single' is being used as a noun, such as in a sentence like 'I am a single person.'
