1 out of 10 chances you already flipped the coin 9 times.

The other answers are correct: 1/2, assuming it's a fair coin. Each flip is independent of the others.

Every flip is 50/50. But what has this got to do with Singles and Dating?

50% people! Probability in this case is independent (ie not affected) by previous outcomes! You can flip the coin 100000 times but a coin will always be a coin. Its mass and size will be the same and that's all that matters.

50/50 chance that it will be heads. Every time. No matter how many times you get tails in a row; it's still 50% chance that the next time it will be heads.
