Let's set the scene: You're out with an HB10 on one of your initial dates. You've been on the forum all day boning up and you're ready to let her do a little boning up of her own if you know what I mean (I think you do). So anyways you take her out to eat, since that's a pretty common thing to do. The eating place can be of any quality (hopefully it's not Olive Garden, which I love but not for dates. Can you be any more cliche?) the only stipulation is that there isn't loud music/speakers blaring so loud you can't hear each other well. Let's say it's a booth scenario, do you sit next to her? It's a pretty aggressive move. I've never tried it personally. In a seated table situation with 4 chairs how do you roll? Next to or across? I'd like to read some stories if you have them.

I would say for a first date, across from each other. Unless you have already developed a strong comfort between the two of you.

You're right in saying that sitting next to her is an agressive move - BUT it could work in your favour depending on the girl. Personally, I would prefer the across from each other position for a first date before I decide whether I really like him or not. Because generally, when you are face to face, it is easier for a first date because at least you can still get to know each other with that slight barrier (the table) between you in case.

Sitting next to each other should come after a few dates when the comfort is there and you feel like you don't need the barrier anymore and you just want to be close to them all the time...

Just my opninion though!

Sitting across is awkward. It forces you to constantly be looking at each other. You both feel like eye contact is necessary throughout the whole meal. The only chance for kino is a bit of footsie.

I believe sitting next to her is better because there is less pressure to stare at each other while eating and much better opportunities for kino. I guess split the difference if you have to and get a table and sit at adjacent edges.

It always seems weird to me when I see a one-on-one date sitting next to each other in a booth or at a table. I don't do it personally. I prefer the sitting across from one another. I think it facilitates coversation.
