Sitting in Booths, Side-by-side or Across From One Another?

[BarkingGhostar]

When dining with only your significant other (SO), do you sit beside your SO or across from your SO when sitting in a booth? Conversely, it is is a table, across or adjacent (adjacent=beside)?

 

[BarkingGhostar]

It isn't by my choice but by the SO's choice. When I questioned her on this (many years ago) she said she liikes to be looking directly at me while chatting during the dining experience. Personally, I think she doesn't want to have to defend herself from my attacking hands.

We always sit across from each other so we can see each other when talking.

Across from. People who sit side by side are weirdos

Usually, across from, but once in a while, if we’re eating someplace where we’re also watching football, then side by side so we can both see the game.

Across from unless you're with a third party, then couples sit side by side.

Depends on what your eating...…....

Across....the room. Usually opposite covering both exits. You can never be too careful. Lunch can escalate into an international incident pretty quickly.

How do you sit scross from your own hands?

 

[PJFrylar]

Across. Eyes.

 

[nakedfrog]

Usually across.

Usually across but if the table is really wide or one side is in the sun, we may sit side by side.

Across.

Here's the million dollar question...
If you're out with your SO and a friend (could be her friend, I guess), do you sit across from or next to your SO?

Is she hot?

Wait, so, which one sits on your lap? your SO, or her friend? Is this some kind of triangle of love thing?

How is this a million dollar question? You sit next to your SO, that's obvious.

Only sit side by side if my wife is cold and without a sweater -- that's maybe happened twice in our entire relationship.

It honestly creeps me out when I see people doing this. If anything, it makes it more difficult to have conversation.

Yeah, damned elbows keep bumping making texts harder to send.

We sit side-by-side when we order the fajitas for two. Gives us more room to have the all the food in front of us for each of us to reach.

We sit across from each other when normal dining.

When we eat at a nice restaurant, booths aren't an option, and if the table is square, we will sit on sides that are perpendicular to each other.

What if you have mulitple SO's there at the same time?

Make sure you get a wide enough booth. This way you can sit between them.

What is so weird about trying to cop a feel while waiting for your meal? And then there is the desert copping.

 

[brianmanahan]

i've never been in this situation to know what i would do

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Across from unless you're Japanese or Korean.
