sit across from each other or sit on the same side?

I see couples do both.  I have been married for 40 years and DH and I always sit across from each other.  We (I) like eye contact when having a conversation.   I see couples sitting next to each other and they are looking straight ahead while they are talking.  Doesn't make sense to me, but that is my opinion. 

We always choose a booth over a table.  We will wait for a booth. 

Just curious ~ what do you choose??

Like a booth or table where we sit opposite each other, hate a table in the middle aisle, too much traffic on both sides

If with the entire family, booth.

If just DH and I, table. We sit across from each other even when the whole family is eating in a booth.

Prefer a booth and sit across from each other.

I don’t care if it’s a booth or table, but we always sit across from each other.

I prefer a booth because it is more comfortable.  DH and I sit across from each other unless another couple is with us.  Interesting that we have a restaurant near us that charges extra for a booth.

I don't care if it's a booth or table, but I would never sit next to my DH.  We sit across from each other.  Couples sitting next to each other is a pet peeve of mine.  I don't even know why, I just don't like it.

We prefer table seating across from each other; easier entry and exit.  Now that I think about it, the restaurants we patronize only have table seating.

Do they charge a lot extra for the booth?  I have never heard of that before, but we would probably pay it if it wasn't too much.

We like both, my husband likes a table and I like a booth. Most places have these together which works well for us.
