Love and Noodles: Ramen Bar holds first speed dating event

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – “I honestly just wanted to do something for the singles… I wanted to do something for the forgotten half,” said general manger Danielle Alvey.

Valentine’s Day indeed does harp on romantic connection, and it can be a tough time of year for those who don’t have a significant other or maybe struggle to find a genuine bond with someone else. With all the dating apps out there these days and the dangers to understandably consider when chatting online, Ramen Bar gave people the opportunity to do it the old fashioned way on the night of Valentine’s Day. Is in person speed dating the wave for 2023? The Ramen Bar seems to think so.

Alvey said more of these are to come, trying to include “gay men, gay women, non-cis” and then getting into the “age gaps” out there so everyone “feels seen and heard.”

Maybe the love of your life is just across the bar, having a bowl of tonkotsu, who knows? You can find out on the Ramen Bar Facebook page as the year progresses.
