Mr. Joe, our next door neighbor, is a very nice man. He’s a retired man and I think he was in military in his days. A very nice man, friendly, jolly, tall, and helpful. It’s fun and very informative everytime I talk to him. But there’s one problem When he talks, he stands up straight face to face and the distance between his face and my face is LESS than one foot. No matter whether I move a little bit back, he’ll move ahead and keep his distance. And also use gestures while talking. I don’t like it but I can’t tell him anything because I respect him and I know he’s not doing it on purpose, he’s just trying to be frank just like people in Pakistan would touch you so much, guys hold hand when walking and all that, but I am not comfortable with it. If she was a hot chick, sure, then I would do it myself (keep less distance, that is).
This is why most of the times I avoid this great man Any solutions to my problem?
p.s. Phatima, you were complaining about boring threads out there, well, here’s a try to entertain you. A moderator entertaining his people.
BIB If I eat pyaaz, what if his hot grand daughter comes and starts talking to me right after he leaves? Just like it happened last time. Good thing I hadn't eaten any pyaaz.
DM Nahi, pathan tou nahi hai, lekin gora hai. Gorey logon mein bhi pathan hotey hain kia?
Sandleen Sirf mangni hui hai, shaadi tou nahi. Tabb takk azaad hoon aur life enjoy kar sakta hoon.

People, understand my problem and try to help me out here. He's coming back on this weekend, which is tomorrow, and I'll have to face him. Hurry, not much time left!
When two people are talking to each other, they tend to stand a specific distance apart. Each person has an invisible boundary around their body into which other people may not come. If someone pierces this boundary, they will feel uncomfortable and move away to increase the distance between them. (The major exception is family members and other loved ones.) This personal distance is not due to body odor or bad breath, but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy that is at odds with their relationship to the other individual.
Interestingly, the average personal distance varies from culture to culture. Americans tend to require more personal space than in other cultures. So if you try to get too close to an American during your conversation, he or she will feel that you are “in their face” and will try to back away. Try to be aware of this, so if the person to whom you are speaking backs away a little, don’t try to close the gap.
Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking, since this may also lead to discomfort. Touching is a bit too intimate for casual acquaintances. So don’t put your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable, but this is only momentary.
its not only with you..I had a patient. She was old, jolly and lovely woman. She had same problem…She was so talkative:bukbuk: that during conversation I used to feel her saliva on my nose and eyes… It seems to me that my face is rubbish bin for her.. Aakh thoooo.. But sad to say that she is no more with us..She is now in nursing home..and if I have to go there I always try to avoid that lady.
