Your job is mainly to watch, like the Slaughterhouse-Five aliens, but occasionally you'll have to perform a few rote routines to prime the pump of carnal interaction. Your characters have conventional needs -- hunger, cleanliness, sleep -- that the A. That's when you'll do most of your watching, witnessing dramatic events like cooking dinner, the morning shower, and repeated hand washing.
You'll need to constantly butt in to meet your character's social needs, however, which are divided between fun, sensuality, romance, and friendship. For each need, there are very few actions available, and no one else to meet them beyond your character's single roommate.

There's a potentially interesting system of character advancement in which you earn points to spend on skills, but since your goal consists almost solely of advancing to the point where your characters will have sex, everything else is peripheral. So it's hardly surprising that Singles is missing the rich shopping and house customization options that make The Sims so engaging. In Singles, it's almost as if a few options are begrudgingly thrown in so you'll have something to do while you're waiting for your characters to like each other enough to bump uglies.
