Sitting with your significant other

[theluckyrabbit]

If the booth or table has enough space, next to each other. Otherwise, across.

 

[Scotgirl]

We would sit next to each other so we can both see around the room and then talk about everyone else in it!

 

[LadyBeBop]

If it's just us two, across.
If we're with others in a booth, next to each other.
If we're with others at a table.....it depends. Usually, next to each other.

[maxaroni]

Across if it’s just the 2 of us.

 

[MamaMermaid]

Usually across but we've definitely sat next to each other, too!

Across - I've always thought it looked odd when I saw couples alone in a booth next to each other, but to each their own.

Across 99% of the time. However that 1% has a definite reason! It is only if we are at a sports bar watching a game, and the one side of the booth has the better view of the TV. Then we will sit next to each other.

My husband has always sat next to me in booths. I thought it was weird at first, but now I'm used to it. The only exception was Jersey Mike's, because their booths were smaller and I needed the elbow room to eat my sub.

However ,now that we have a toddler, we tend to sit across from each other and put her in a high chair on the end so we can both assist with mealtimes.

 

[igrsod]

Just the two of us.... across. With others, it can be either depending on the situation.

 

[easyas123]

Across from each other. We’re not weirdos.

This!!
(we are also those people who don't have to sit together on the airplane)

 

[PollyannaMom]

Just the the two of us in a booth, or at a small table - across

Just the two of us at a standard table - usually on adjacent sides

When out with others - it varies:
If it’s a booth with one other couple, next to each other.
It it’s booth with DS, he usually sits with me and DH with the coats.
If it’s a large table with lots of people, usually either next to or across, depending on what everyone else does, but sometimes not either one.

Across from each other. We’re not weirdos.

Agree- it is SO weird when 2 people are sitting next to each other in a booth- creepy!

 

[Cindy's Mom]

depends:
Family diner type place - across
nice steakhouse place that has a booth - across
Fancy place that has a banquette - we will sit next to each other on the bench part - (we both hate staring at the wall)

My husband is deceased, but we always sat across from each other. Always.
