No, you couldn't say "solo" instead of "single." One can be in a relationship and still be "solo" in a specific situation, whereas "single" means that you're not in a romantic relationship with anyone. Ex: My boyfriend's out of town, so I'm going on a solo date tonight. Ex: My friend is single. Do you want her number?
