If I'm at dinner with a date, where do I sit?? Etiquette?

Question

If I'm on a date having dinner with a girl where should I sit? Facing each other? If we were to be seated at a party of 4 table (four chairs), should I still sit across from her or in the chair nearest to her?

Answer 1

sit next to her... but let her chose where she wants to sit and pull the chair out for her.  

Answer 2

sit accross her then you can talk to each other free and more, it always shows that all in your eyes is her,she will be very happy.

Answer 3

If its just you and the girl, then across. If you're at a table with four chairs it depends on the message you're trying to send. If you want to talk more then sit across (it still shows interest), but if you are just more comfortable sitting next to her that will show too.

Answer 4

i'm pretty sure it's next to her, i saw it in the movie "forgetting sarah marshall" lol

good luck, hope it goes well

Answer 5

I think if you have just started dating, sit across from her in both situations... If you are having dinner just the two of you, always let her sit facing the rest of the restaurant, with you facing her...and probably the wall!  this shows her that all you want to look at is her!

If you have been out with the girl a couple of times, you can move on to sitting next to her...
