Where should you sit?
Well it seems from our poll last week that almost everyone likes to site opposite their date - 76%. I suppose that is because you can see them an focus your attention on them. However, psychologists tell us if you sit opposite someone it means that the table is a barrier between you, and people may become competitive and defensive when seated across from each other.
If you have a choice, like in a restaurant, sit in the corner position or ask for a booth. Don't set up a competitive situation unnecessarily. It can hamper an otherwise potentially positive relationship building situation.
When seated in the competitive position, a person also becomes defensive about his/her personal territory (or half of the table). Don't accidentally push items into someone else's space, as it is as much an invasion at dinner as if you had reached into their space and touched them - unless of course you want to! Ahh what do psychologists know anyway!
This weeks poll is about what you find most attractive about people - It's all about the smile for me.

Sit on your date's knee, it makes things easier all round.
Well if I am out on a date with someone I would be just happy to sit on a seat, if one is available. But the ideal situation is having two seats so two of us can sit down together, Its can be very embarassing when I am sitting down and she standing, you would think one of the guys in the pub would be gentlemen and give her a seat so we both can sit down :-) :-P
Singledad(Girls I am only joking)
find one with big tables...

side by side, so you can "bump" knees if you like your date and avoid eye contact if you dont (and give you a chance to figure out an escape route) - Lu
