If I have a single water molecule then it is still water but it isn’t touching any other water molecule, thus it isn’t wet

Exactly. So the only instance water is dry, and thus not wet, is if it's a single lonely molecule.

But water tends to come in herds, so that basically never happens.

Is the polar-bonded surface layer of water wet? It is not entirely surrounded by water.

I'd say that's dry, as it's in contact with air. Or perhaps just moist, as it's partially in contact with water.

Well no one would consider something with a single water molecule on it wet either.

Yup, that further confirms what I said
