It does sound silly but I know what you are talking about and it seems more likely to occur with older folks. Perhaps they have been with each other so long they have run out of things to say. |

OF COURSE! My boyfriend and I have 4 kids (his two, my two) So, if we get a chance to BE by ourselves, we FINALLY get a chance to talk!!! |

Yes...
Most of the time we spend making fun of people and laughing! LOL |

Yeah, we talk. At some points it gets quiet, but it's not an uncomfortable quiet. We talk about whatever has been hapening lately, things we learned (God Bless the internet!) and whatever else is on own minds. It's a good time! |

lol.......I see this all of the time too.
There are two different ways of looking at this.
1. They really don't want to be there together and are thinking about what else they could be doing.
2. They finally got out of the house for a nice quiet evening together. Some couples like to go out and just enjoy each others company without having to talk the entire time.
I have been married 8 years and my wife and I are very close. So we usually do talk a lot about everything, but that's because we actually like each other. |

We don't have a whole lot of money, so whenever we go out my hubby and I really live it up. We pretend that we're dating again, or that we just met or something. Kinda silly, but it makes the night memorable and makes us talk more. Stupid stuff that we already know about each other, but it's fun. So yes, we talk. |

We have a date night every week--usually dinner and a movie, and yes, we talk. Sometimes, if we've been talking a lot, and it's been a hectic day, we eat and don't talk much in the restaurant, but we talk again in the car and waiting for the movie.
We talk about the kids, my husband's work, my work, church, politics, movies we've liked or didn't, up-coming plans, dreams for the future, etc.
Both of us are talkers, though. Some of my friends say their husbands never talk much. I don't know what that's like because both my husband, my father, and my brother are all talkers. |

Yes my husband and i are always talking to each other when we go out to eat...Maybe these couples were just to busy eating to talk. |

well thats better than being next to two loud mouths who wont shut up the whole time, cause it happens!
my husband and i talk even if we have a few quiet moments. my husband and i rarely get a chance to date, having children but when we do, we are so happy you cant stop us from enjoying each others company!
maybe they were having a rough day...you never know what goes on in other peoples relationships and lives. |

Yeah, we talk alot (mostly me) and he laughs and interacts with me. It takes us about two hours to get thru a meal lol. I hope that never ends. My grandparents would sit there and not say a word to eachother. It was very upseting. |

I was raised that the dinner table was a time for conversation.
My ex bf was getting so embarressing for me to go out and eat with, that I simply stopped! He'd just shovel food in his mouth as fast as he could, and it was like I was having dinner by myself! He'd be done and I'd still have over 2/3's of my dinner still there!
I love conversation during a meal. I feel it's more relaxing to add conversation.
I bet when you were looking around, it was awful sad to see all of the munching and no smiles and laughs huh?
Lighten up world. Your food won't run away, unless your eating something alive!! |

I have seen that too. My husband and i promised each other we would never become one of those couples. They seem so uninterested in each other like it is a chore to even be together...lol |

I can't imagine NOT talking to my spouse! We talk a bunch and it's great 'cuz there's no kids interrupting us! |

Maybe they dont view food as a communal thing. I personally love eating and enjoying my time with friends, family, significant others. |

I always find that sight really depressing.
If there's a TV in sight, my husband's eyes are glued for a while. But we always talk a little bit. |

Sure we talk...in fact I have a hard time shutting up....We just enjoy each others company...and because he works a ton of hours....We need to make up for the time we have been a part.....I would rather a couple chatter all the way through a meal...rather than not say a word to one another.... |

Its hard to believe that in this day and age, with the high percentage of marriages ending in divorce, that couples wouldn't take that time to discuss everything. I know my husband and I would(if we had the chance to eat alone).
Some couples I believe that dont have children, may just want to enjoy their meal quietly.
Its up to you who you meet and how you want interact with your significant other.
My husband has a great sense of humor and I enjoy him making me laugh when it all gets too serious. |

Yes, we always talk.
That's funny! We were just talking to our regular bartender about this! She says that it never ceases to amaze her how many married couples come in and never say a word to each other the entire time they are there. :( |

We definitly do. We commented about this the other night. One table was total silence until they both got phone calls at about the same time, then they were both really loud talking on thier phones, ignoring the other. |

im a victim of this..me and my husband have been married for only 3 yrs! but we dont talk at all at a resturant at all! and i dont really know why..it seems we have converstations on the way in the car, and after the meal..but not during..i hate it and i ask him if it bothers him and he says he's adjusted to the fact..so i guess i would be the one your looking at and feeling sorry for haha |

yes we talk all the time sometimes we'll talk so much that it takes hours for us to get though our meal. conversation is key in any relationship |
|
whatever
|
It just depends. Some days we talk more and other days we just eat. When we spend too much time together then by dinner time we usually don't have anything to talk about. :) |

wow that really stinks . . . . i love talkin 2 my hubby over dinner out (or well really jus anytime LOL) |

Yes, of course, we talk but (i admit it) sometimes there is a lull in the conversation that lasts. Sometimes there just isn't much to talk about.
Isn't there times with your BF/GF or BFF that you don't chit chat but you still want to be around them? Its the same thing. |
