Do you sit across from or next to on a first date?

In a booth or two-seat table, across. In a four-seat table, next to (as in, catty-corner).

I take em out for drinks at a bar and sit next to them.

I've always sat across, no matter what. I find it much easier to engage in a conversation if you're facing one another. A bar would be a different story though.

I have been thinking about this question as a noob afc, looking for answers here. IMO its situational, you take her to a restaurant with only tables where you can only sit across from each other than you guys are going to sit across from each other. If theres a bar in that restaurant, you can move it there after dinner and end up sitting next to her. You can go to a bar where the bar is full and there maybe a stool table empty near the bar, you guys will be most likely sitting at right angles from each other. does it really matter where you are sitting on a first date or does it matter that you are there to see what shes like?

I sit on top of them...anyways does this really matter I mean I've never had any problems with seating arrangements isn't it a bit over thinking it

Next if you can, but don't force it. Whatever makes sense at the time.

I always sit next to my girl. I think girls like to have a guy to talk to next to them instead of in front. I like sitting next to on dates because you can sit real close, share funny pictures on your phone, tell stories, hold her hand, escalate physically, etc..

But do whatever the fuck you want man. Follow your gut feelings.

Across. You can't read someone's body language when you're both facing the same direction, and they can't read yours either.
