Just Wondering

So sometimes something will just pop into my head and being bored I thought I'd ask, when your dining out with your significant other do you set on the same side or opposite each other? I like to sit opposite, I feel you can see each other better and I'm not too cramped. People newly in love like to sit next to each other leaving a perfectly good other side of the booth empty!

Opposite (if in a booth) or at right angles (depending on the size of the table). I don't like to talk sideways!

Same here....opposite each other. Otherwise it looks like you're waiting for someone else to join you.

We sit on the same side...always have. We will be married 25 years on Valentine's Day next year

Opposite - I need "elbow room" when I'm eating

@Jordan2 Many times we will sit on the same side of the booth or table. Just depends on what we feel like doing. 😊

I prefer opposite because I like to look into people's eye's, facial expressions, etcetera.

Opposite sides for us...or right angle, as someone else said. Never on the same side when it's just us.

In a booth, we sit opposite each other.

Always sit across - I have a hula hoop rule - stay out of my space which is roughly the size of a hula hoop. I am not one of those overly touchy feely people that feels the need to be close to/attached to someone.

Depends on the situation. My husband and I are together alot so we don't need to sit across from each other to see each other. Sometimes when we sit across from each other, one has a wide view of the environment and the other just a wall. I like sitting next to each just so we see the same thing. If I am with someone I don't see very often, we sit across from each other to see each other.

Same side.

We sit opposite each other or at right angle so we can look at each other while we talk. We still like to look into each other's eyes after 25+ years together.

@Mom2Dogs I don't like people invading my personal space like Aaron the "close talker" from Seinfeld! I also like to face the door like I'm a criminal or something so I can make a quick exit ( I'm kidding of course)!
