Where to sit

July 21 2008

You invite someone out for coffee or a drink. Where do you sit in relation to the other person If its a booth i like to sit next to a guy. If its a table with four seats i like to sit close. The reason for the question is that i find it annoying that a guy who i potentially want to shag sits as far away as possible. This makes it hard for any intimate conversation especially if there are other tables close by. I also like to give suble hints that if am interested in going further. A light touch of the forearm, hand or thigh is a favourite of mine but yes ladies i know subtley is mostly lost on many guys. Im a little tired of having a stilted conversation from a distance only to have the guy send me a message later saying "hey that went well, when do we shag" Guys and gals i value your opinions.

    Hmmmm angel I am one of those who likes to sit opposite someone of the opposite sex over a coffee, even those i know. For me the subtle hints are in the prolonged eye contact, the raised right eyebrow and the smile thru those quiet moments, and the wink when some comment has been made with 2 meanings lol .. I am not comfortable sitting very close to someone i havent met before. Tina

    I am so glad you spelled out your thoughts rather than just throwing out the question. Given the choice I would always sit opposite a new (or first time) friend - not to be further away, but to be able to look at their face & make eye contact. I guess because I'm tall, and most places have fairly small tables, I don't have any difficulty leaning in for a more intimate conversation. The idea of a gentle touch on the forearm or thigh sends shivers of anticipation up my spine - definitely not too subtle in my opinion - but I'd get the message with touching hands across the table. Oh and just to clarify - I'm assuming we've met for a drink because we liked the electronic communication, so the message I'd get from the touch would be that my friend was not turned off meeting me in person and was enjoying themselves - I'd want something a little more explicit before I asked "so when do we shag"

    It's a bit of a worry if they sit at another table. But then garlic breath will do that.

    I think it all depends on if there is an attraction there or not...and i think one can generally tell if it is mutual. If there is attraction i tend to wanna sit rite next the guy, more opportunity for a little flirting such as a hand on the leg etc... And u r also given that opportunity to whisper sweet nothings without everyone else around potentialy listening in on ur convo. But then on the other hand if there is no attraction i will sit opposite, as i wldnt want to give the guy the wrong impression or think he may have an opportunity. So in saying that i will generally sit where im comfy and wif the idea in mind of wot i wont to get out of the meet.

    First meet/Date: Sit directly opposite. Second Meet/Date: again sit opposite, but half way thru the night, sit beside her Third Meet/Date: With her on my lap :P Of course, every female i meet, is different, so these rules do not generally apply. It might be all three in the first date! :P

    This is a question I have asked myself also, I agree with LeeLee, sit across from the person, keep eye contact, and converstation, too begin with. You can always play footsies and everyone feels comfortable. Men get as nervous as you hun, even though most won't admit it too you, or even themselves...after all it is a feeling PMSL....JOKES MALE RHP'ers xx Wet xx

    I would have to sit opposite, purely for the fact that it is easier to talk to someone when you can look them directly in the face. And as much as this may sound strange, in public I think I would be a little shy about sitting next to someone, especially is there is an easily identifiale age difference. Just other peoples perceptions bug me (as much as they shouldn't), until I was well and truly comfortable around someone. I think hints can come in many forms, not just a gentle touch on the leg. Hands can be touched over the table, and body language can be hints enough. Just my opinion.... I am a shy-ish guy... and am more into subtlety in public, and straight-forwardness in private.. Lol.

    It doesnt really matter where you sit..... Body Language is 73% of our communication..... A wonderful thing to learn to read other ppls movements,poise,gestures..... Im very much into the Body Language & I use it to my advantage also.... Alan Peas has some good books on the subject.... I had to learn about it for the work I did & now realise it is a huge part of my communication...... dazichane

    well, you should sit wherever the best line of sight straight down your skirt is for him. And no, we don't want you to wear panties. And keep your legs apart. That will do the trick. Playful

    Hi Ang: together in a spa, in a public space. We'd have to lean close to hear each other over the sound of the bubbly pump, or else sit opposite to enjoy the touch of each other's legs as we face each other, and then we'd go have a shag or three ... awesome memories, call again x

    Interesting topic Angie, I have pondered this, and thought back to various encounters over the years, mostly with swinging and meeting couples, and have to say that the most succesful dates were the ones where I was sitting next to the lady , or around the corner. The least succesfull were when directly opposite, I think that is refered to as the "combative zone" especially when you are with a group of people, and round tables are more conducive than square. As far as touching of the arm or hand I never read much into that, other than she is a touchy feely sort of person, but then over the years, I suspect like lots of blokes I have missed some really obvious cues to, Doh! Especially when the venue is crowded and noisy(to distracting) Women are mostly to subtle, and guys to shy I think. cheers Nev

    On a first date.. sit opposite - i like to see a persons true reactions and read their body language. These are both easier from front on.. Second date.. sit opposite for dinner.. then move to a nice little lounge bar with funky low volume tunes so u can talk and hear without yelling, where i can sit next to her and start making any moves u may want to make, such as gentle touching of arm when laughing, rubbing of legs, etc. (u may do this after the first date, depending on the other party and what u have read of their intentions) Third date (if not yet shagging) .. if it starts with dinner, then a place with a booth so we can sit on the same side and start showing signs of intent for the night, from the beginning.. (if u dont have signs of intimacy with them after third date, u have to start asking.. will u ever? .. and is it worth taking it further?) Cheers Groover

    Because we meet as a couple, we like a 4 sided table so we can sit opposite each other and whether it's 1 or 2 that joins us, they will be sitting between us effectively.Don't like booths where we have to sit 2 facing 2. But the round booths could be a lot of fun if we'd met before and felt confident, very cosy...

    I think taking a seat on the man's lap is long overdue. There ought to be more spontanious lap dancing. You just do not see that any more. What is wrong with people these days huh? Everybody has ot be so formal and serious.... it's not like you are going for a job interview... your looking for an intriguing sexual partner... where you sit is completely irrelevent I would have thought... loosen up... move your chair, do that sexy thing you do with your hair. Swish a little... stroke some forearm... play tootsies... all the things you do not do in a job interview.   Hugs Stalky

    Quoting 'gazpacho40'Sit at the bar on a bar stool... we can rub shoulders, I can look down your frock... and plaster you with alcohol... you are going to need it anyway. :) Well, that's how I used to think. Ima changed man. Now Im going to sit next to you at the coffee table so you can do those subtle things if you are interested. You might have to tell me you wanna root though... just to make sure I get it... but after that I'll be fine. What can I say... Im shy! Im well known for my 'so many men...so little memory' condition, however I am experiencing a tickle of recognition...or perhaps I just need another course of canesten....I blame recycled lingerie...
