Oh...

She fancies me!

Bing!

The French like to do it this way also - side-by-side, sitting on the footpath drinking coffee. Always felt a bit odd to me.

street cafe etiquette is to sit side by side to avoid one person having their back to the street, after all half the fun of having a coffee outside is people watching.

I always favour sitting opposite sides of the table, however, 'side by side' seems to have appeared?

Is there an etiquette for this?

Opposite seems more 'English' where as side by side seems more US somehow.

Standards slipping?

Bing!

You mean you like to play footsie.
