My boyfriend always insists on soaking the dishes in a full bowl of warm, soapy washing up water after our meal. The dishes will stay there until he can be bothered washing them (Which may or may not ever happen)
This drives me up the wall. I prefer to just get the darned washing up done, then I can relax and also use half the amount of hot water and soap (he has to refill again later because the water is freezing and disgusting by then).
So, do you soak the dishes first? Or do you just get the washing up done there and then?

I prefer to knock it out ! But if something is really baked on.. i will soak for a few hours.
I can relate to you though, my boyfriend is the same way. everytime i go over there there are dishes soaking because he is to lazy to actually wash them, but doesn't want to look like a slob.

Most of the time I just get them done, like a while ago I just washed them up. If I let it soak, it may be in the sink for a while cause I forget things sometime.

I let them soak in very hot water with plenty of soap, that way I'll know that the crud on them with come off easily. If you use very hot water you can let them soak and then wash them using the same water. I also rinse them in hot water too, meant to be the best way to do it but I just do that anyway.

Just wash them and get it done. I hate doing dishes but I hate it even more when they've been sitting there for an hour or two.

I usually soak a pan for a few minutes but then get right to washing them.

I just keep putting everything in the dishwasher all day. Then I turn it on before I go to bed.
