Sitting next to or across from date

Ok, so I have a date tomorrow with Mr. Leo and I don't like to eat in front of people unless like friends or family. My question is, would it be ok to sit next to him in the restaurant versus across the table. I want to be close to him anyway and I feel like it'd make me more comfortable minus the initial, scoot over please LOL ugh sorry I'm awkward, sorry

But, but what about all the under the table leg gymnastics which cant happen if you sit next to him. 😕

😂😂😂

Sit across from him. I think it looks so silly when couples sit next to each other at a restaurant.

If you have good table manners then there's nothing to fear. You are human like the rest of us - people eat, people shit, people fart on the toilet.

If there is anyone out there giving you a bad feeling about yourself although you have proper table manners then screw them!

You're overcomplicating it. Do whatever feels right. Generally sitting across from the other person is the natural spot (for example if you're in a booth). If you're at a (non booth) table and sit near him in another chair, that's fine. If you want to sit directly next to him so that you're both facing the same direction, then so be it.

Thank you. Yes I overthought and made it over complicated, it’s what I do lol. For some reason your message put me at ease. I have good manners im just clumsy in general so yea... I’ll just take my time, breathe, eat slow and hope for the best lol it’s so funny us Aquas get a bad rep for being cold but all this shit goes on in my head. Like, I just want to make a good impression and not make myself look like a dumdum but anywho, thanks again ^_^

For instance, I'm watching "the obesity myth" right now, and watching this chick shovel food in her mouth and chewing like a vow has made me dry heave and feel sick, but hey it's Halloween. I've either got to be scared or sick for a thrill

Yesss lunch/dinner dates just aren’t my thing! I’m glad there’s a couple of you who kinda understand. It’s like, yes people shit, fart, burp etc but that doesn’t mean you should do it in front of them and the other should enjoy it lol I eat very little anyway and not by choice, I just can’t. He can eat all he wants but I’m not too keen on watching him either. Maybe I’ll just ignore the fact we’re eating and just enjoy his company.

It's like watching what his shit looks like - predigestion.

LMAO oh my god, you’re right tho

I am a leo and I would feel uncomfortable sitting next to my partner on the date as long as it's not a date in a cinema. I need to see my partner's face. Eye contact is super important to me.

Eye contact + his smile = my heart is melting 🙂

Yes, I ate really slow and made sure to not eat like an idiot. The staring while we waited for our food was probably the most awkward thing. I kinda looked around and would talk to him, flirt and then be awkward again. He was like "You're never gonna let me take you out to eat again are you?" Lol We made it through though. I feel like it went alright.

I sit next to my present man - always - that is how it was when we met and it stayed that way - we even eat side by side at my house at the table for dinner - it's not about pda or anything - it's just the feeling of closeness I guess - not sure why this is but it just bees that way with us -

in other relationships it wasn't like that - maybe the Venus thing with Taurus and Libra ...
