At the intersection of lust and love, over and done it and single and maybe ready to mingle, is, in fact, a restaurant there.

That’s one of the many-splendored things about restaurants — they appeal to different sorts of people and are vast and distinct and unique. Just like love and you and tacos and whatever metaphor you want to add here.

Whether you’re unattached, permanently affixed, trying to couple up, in-between or all we, the above & rsquo;ve got you a restaurant.

Single, and not wanting to make friends

Without needing to talk to another living being, you want a fantastic meal. Totally valid. Birdcall (various places ) uses kiosks for the ordering of its fried chicken sandwiches, so you dine in solitude without needing to apply any pesky eye contact or, well, words. You may need to speak with your server at Annette (2501 Dallas St., Aurora) — or you could try gesturing; anything — to dictate the exquisite meal you deserve, but this small amount of social interaction will be well worth it for the gnocchi and roasted whole fish. (And, yes, you can eat the whole fish alone. We believe in you.)

Single, and wanting to make friends

In the event you& rsquo; re on your own and wanting to meet with new people, there are plenty of spots that promote sex of the type that is social. Barcelona Wine Bar (2900 Larimer St., Denver) is constantly occurring, and we bet you a tapa that, if you’re open to it, you’ll leave with a new pal. The communal tables and friendly vibe in White Pie (1702 Humboldt St., Denver) make conversing with strangers simple, while Uptown’s Vine Street Pub & Brewery (1700 Vine St., Denver) pretty much specializes in laid-back camaraderie over beers and hamburgers.

Meeting with an date

You don’t know let & rsquo and, it & rsquo; s going to go it ’s not going to go. Your aim: to eat something good (so at least you’ve got that), without spending too much money or time. Oh, and there should be alcohol. Brass Tacks (1526 Blake St., Denver) has reasonably priced beverages and a food pub slinging sandwiches, salads and appetizers for $5-$13, while Biju’s Little Curry Shop’s (1441 26th St., Denver and 4279 Tennyson St., Denver) flavor-packed curry bowls top out at $12.95.

The dedicated might need more help than anyone else. Heck could be as maintaining relationship monogamy as challenging. Still somewhere that will give you something to talk about, because again, monogamy, although you need to be somewhere comfortable. The Way Back (3963 Tennyson St., Denver) as well as The Populist (3163 Larimer St., Denver) do interesting menus in a solid manner. At the minimum, you’ll have okonomiyaki” and debating that course of the chef’s tasting menu has been your favorite.

To break up

You&rsquo? We urge you to reconsider, but if you have to, go somewhere crowded, where you’re unlikely to bump into anyone you know and where possible weapons aren’t readily available. You’ll also need to be able to generate a getaway, and that means you want without waiting 20 minutes you can get in and get out. This is where a food hall’s chaos works to your advantage. The constant buzz of activity in Denver Central Market (2669 Larimer St., Denver), Avanti Food & Beverage (3200 N. Pecos St., Denver) and Denver Milk Market (1800 Wazee St., Denver) means the crowd won’t be focused on the drama going down in your table. But again, we urge you to rethink the breaking up in a restaurant item.

After the breakup

This is where you go when you’re broken-hearted since you’re too needy and blew it with the guy who left you Rice Krispie treats and you’re distraught because who’s going to cause you to Rice Krispie treats today? Or, you know, whatever your breakup situation that is unfortunate is. Drown your tears in a bowl of Uncle’s (2215 W. 32nd Ave., Denver) soothing ramen, where the curative forces of the shoyu broth will make you overlook Rice Krispie treats ever existed. Plus s chaotic and loud in there that nobody will hear the sounds of your sobs.

Timeless comfort food — fried chicken, mac and cheese, maybe some collard greens if eating something green can help you feel better about your day’s decisions — works nicely, too, and CoraFaye’s Café (16251 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora) is where to go for the comfortiest of the comfort. Recall: Time can heal all wounds, but does a slice of coconut cake.
