You're out to lunch. Your companion says "that looks delicious". What now?

For a spouse or significant other - even on a first date - I'd shove my plate over and offer a bite. (No, I don't "feed" even a spouse, but that's just me.)

What if it's just a friend? What if it's a co-worker at a casual lunch? Your boss?

Somewhere in there, it ceases to feel "right". Your thoughts?
I've had complete strangers offer me a bite when tables have been close enough together.
