Not dating posh girl English idiot embraces (7)

I believe the answer is:

ageless

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not dating' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'posh girl english idiot embraces' is the wordplay.
'posh girl' becomes 'gel' (I've seen this in other clues).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'idiot' becomes 'ass' (I've seen this in another clue).
'embraces' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'gel'+'e'='gele'
'gele' going within 'ass' is 'AGELESS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ageless that I've seen before include "Perpetually young" , "Eternal - like Peter Pan" , "Enduring" , "Not appearing to grow older" , "Always youthful" .)
