Whenever my husband and I go out to dinner alone we always sit across from each other. I sometimes see people sitting next to each other and I think that is so odd. I think it is easier to sit across from each other so we can see each other better.
What do you think about this? Where do you and the person you are having dinner together sit? Across or Next?

I am so glad so many people here agree with me. Whenever we go out and I see a couple sitting next to each other when the other side of the table is empty, I think it is so strange. I would rather face who ever I am with. It is almost like the person on the outside of the table doesn't want the other people to get up and leave.

We do that to if we are with a lot of people and the tables are round. To me it just looks so silly to be sitting next to each other when alone at a restaurant. I like room to be able to move and I like to look at the other persons face.

My husband and I always sit across from eachother. I think it is much easier to talk that way. Somehow it just doesn't feel right to sit next to eachother, because it is hard to see eachother that way.

My husband and I sit across from each other. Same reason as you. But when I'm having dinner with my husband and our friends, I would usually sit next to my friend because we would whisper gossips at each other and show some things on our cellphones.

If just two people,we definitely sit across from each other.The way we can talk to each other without turning our faces.

If at a table we sit across unless someone else is with us. Then we usually sit beside each other.

I sit down across also so that we can talk while we are eating.

We always sit opposite each other. I would not have it any other way unless we are in a group then we may sit beside each other rather than across!

I've always felt most comfortable sitting across from my significant other. It makes it easy to see them as you are talking to them. I did date a girl once who insisted on sitting next to me when we were out to dinner, instead of across from me. It felt very odd to me.
