Is it lame to sit with your significant other on the same side of the booth?

Sitting next to each other at a restaurant booth = trying too hard to make everyone around you think you're straight.

And in the end, every other guy in the restaurant just thinks you have no balls...or they're tucked away firmly in her purse.

do your thing bro, #### what other people think

Honestly, you shouldn't care what others think about you and your significant other does. If both of you think its romantic than who cares what others thinks. Tell them to go **** themselves. Hahah.

YES! I love threads like this.

In my opinion it's kind of weird because there's no way you're actually more comfortable with the restricted space than you would if you sat across and had a healthy dose of elbow room. Kind of like when you walk side by side and put your arm around her waist. In no way is that a comfortable walking position... so why make it all awkward just to show you're together? Nobody cares (most likely). Now walking side by side arm around shoulder I KINDA get... because it's more comfortable... but anyway.

I admit I laughed when I read your post here... but you have a picture of what only appears to be a guy about to give a BJ sooooo not sure what's more gay?

THIS is bizarre. You eat on opposite sides then get up walk around and sit next to her? What? Unless you're getting physical this makes no sense to me. You either start out same side or not. Who gets up and walks to the other side when done? Honestly I would laugh my ass off if I saw this happen.

This is the ultimate truth... but ultimately nobody totally thinks this way. So it's kind of like communism... nice in theory.

The ultimate NO is a perfectly square table for 2 when you sit at a right angle of each other. You look like a idiot and really got no closer to your "significant other"

My geometry skills are nil, so maybe I'm getting this wrong, but do you mean a situation where you sit on opposite sides of a corner? Because that's how a table for a couple should be set, at least in any restaurant of quality.

this is a hilarious post for some reason. Well played.

[MRCboicgy]

basically I never sit across, unless it's a first date. Once it's serious, then at a right angle.

That's the gay way????

[goaliegirl]

Me and my husband sit at totally different tables.. now that's true love

I always thought it was lame to go with option 1 as your a bit too close, my girl leaves with bruised legs and i have to turn my head to talk to her. Option 2 gives you a tad more space and allows you to hold a better convo IMO lol.

Then again I rarely use the proper spoon and fork so what do I know lol.

I would have thought the gay way was to sit directly behind the other dude.

[TorqueDog]

It really depends on the mood and atmosphere. Not sure what makes it 'lame', but who cares.

[Ryan Coke]

It is totally appropriate and reasonable. And when she asks you to squat when you pee, you should probably do that too.

Start on the outside and work your way in. By the time you run out, you should be on coffee and dessert which is up top. Pretty simple.

I don't think Realtor1 knows how to play tic-tac-toe.

[squiggs96]

Lame.

Did you notice you paid 2 dollars for a 350 ml cup of Ginger-ale at that restaurant? So in reality you actually paid about $10 for a 2 litre bottle of pop...DISCRIMINATION!

[carom]

flames game on? sit facing the TV

anything else? sit on opposite sides and annoy each other, when that gets boring play with your smart phone and ignore each other!
