From Seishun Cinderella ch. 1,

> 彼氏はいないけど別にいらない **かな** って思っている、恋愛は私には向いてないし

I don't understand the purpose of かな here. This form of ないかな doesn't seem to
express desire or hope in this context.「別にいらない」indicates that the speaker
doesn't want a boyfriend. Adding かな after it doesn't make sense to me.

question
grammar
What does かな mean here?
"かな" here means "probably / maybe"

She's not sure if she need a boyfriend or not.
