Is ramen a good first date spot
I'm happily in a relationship but when I was single I had used to believe that ramen was the perfect first date spot, for one its relatively cheap, its usually near other things to do after the meal, like boba shops, coffee houses, bars, etc so its easy to pivot and go somewhere and chat into the night, its relatively fast, so if either party isn't enjoying the others company once its over its easy to just say you've got plans and move on from there.
I mentioned this to my friends and they thought I was insane since its a messy food and that would somehow be terrible, which I still don't fully understand. I had concerns that it comes off as weeby rather than someone who likes food from different cultures too but I think thats just to each their owns interpretation.
I was curious what you (the extremely biased ramen subreddit) thinks.
Edit: in I'm America. Seems like in Japan it'd be a no go though
