There are 110 million single adults in USA, so it's only natural that we have our own week.

National Singles Week starts Sunday , and our friends at the dating service It's Just Lunch have released results of an annual survey of 3,571 singles. Here are some gems from that survey:

•76 percent of singles say the best first date is under an hour, over lunch or a drink after work.

•48 percent have used a dating service.

•65 percent agree a phone call is the best way to ask one out for a second date. Read: not e-mail.

•67 percent of men have $100 or more in their wallet on a first date.

•62 percent of women have $50 or less with them on a first date.
