They named this town after an asteroid, but let’s be honest, there is something a little more earthy pulling people together around here. But WAIT a darn minute… you did not search for this page because you are planning a weekend getaway to rural Louisiana, did you? Eros has a population of barely more than 100 people and exactly one main road. That is fine. We get it. You were probably looking for a different kind of Eros, and honestly, that is way more fun to talk about.
In Case You Really Are Here for the Town
Eros was founded in the late 1800s and officially named after the asteroid discovered in 1898. It has a long history as a farming community, with old railroad tracks that once brought supplies through town and a handful of buildings that still feel frozen in time. If you came here looking for small‑town Louisiana life, you will find quiet country roads, a single post office, and the kind of town where everyone waves when they pass by. Friday nights might mean church socials or high school football, and the biggest traffic jam is a tractor on the highway. Nightlife? You will not find much more than a convenience store and a gas pump.
What You Were Probably Looking For
Most people searching “Eros” online are not here to learn about a town with fewer than 130 residents. Maybe you just searched “Eros” for something more… sensual. That is okay too. You are still in the right place. OBC has been helping singles connect for casual dating since 2003, more than 100 years after Mrs. Mary Collins suggested naming this sawmill boomtown after a newly discovered “erotic” asteroid. Our members are here for flirty chats, spontaneous meetups, and the kind of connections that make life a lot more fun.
The Better Kind of Eros
Think of this as the upgrade. Instead of a quiet Louisiana backroad, you will find singles across the country who are ready to connect without the stress or rules of traditional dating apps. Some members turn chats into travel flings, others into friends with benefits setups, and some into one‑night hookups that become favorite stories to tell. This is the Eros you were actually looking for and it is a lot more fun than a dusty farm town with one stoplight (no offense if you actually live in Eros).
Eros has got wide open spaces -- but head a bit out of town and you'll find plenty to fill the starry nights.
The Oasis Tavern (West Monroe)
It’s low-lit, local, and often the setting for a “just one drink” that turns into a long conversation and maybe something a little more.
Live Music at Enoch’s Pub (Monroe)
A little Irish, a little Southern, and always good for cozy booths, live tunes, and the kind of atmosphere where touching knees isn’t accidental.
Bayou Bowl Lounge (Monroe)
Bowling lanes, a bar, and just enough neon lighting to make everything feel flirty. Plus, it’s easy to lean in close when you’re pretending to coach someone’s form.
The Brass Monkey (Ruston)
Just a short drive and worth it—pool tables, stiff drinks, and a crowd that knows how to mingle and isn’t afraid of a little after-hours adventure.
