National Unmarried and Single Americans Week is September 18 – 24. “National Singles Weekâ€? was started by the Buckeye Singles Council in Ohio in the 1980s to celebrate single life and recognize singles and their contributions to society. The week is now widely observed during Sept. 19-25 as “Unmarried and Single Americans Week,â€? an acknowledgment that many unmarried Americans do not identify with the word “singleâ€? because they are parents, have partners or are widowed.

What is your dating site doing to help celebrate with singles? I haven’t seen any specific marketing except for a Match.com press release.
