An uncomfortable social event happened to me today in which a female acquaintance spied me outside for the first time after a long hiatus. She screamed out my name from afar and began to run at me. Remembering that she was a hugger, I braced myself for the hug from a girl that I barely knew.
However, what followed I did not expect. She commenced speaking to me at what seemed like only an inch from my face. I was shocked and immediately began jerking back my head. However, I recovered my cool and finished the short conversation while staring into her pores.
What is everybody's experiences with close-talkers? I like personal space because I do not know if my face is dirty, there is food in my teeth, or my breath smells (not to mention what the other person's attributes might be). Is close-talking the norm in other cultures? I remember my last close-talking was with a 60-year-old Italian security guard at my school when I was 16 or 17.
I know the girl is quick with becoming touchy-feely (in a non-sexual way), so perhaps close talking is a natural product of that.
Yes, I know close talkers are dealt with in a Seinfeld episode. ;)
Each time she does that give her a hard head butt. One point if you knock her out cold, par if you make her cry, minus one if she just says ow and grabs her head. Keep a running tally and tell us where you stand at the end of the semester.
I'm British. Over here, "personal space" begins about three yards away.
One of the good things about Norway is that our personal spheres usually are about 2-3 kilometers wide here on the countryside.
It is bad.
It happens especially much with fresh off the boat Arab men. And they have bad breath.
I suggest you ask her to speak to your penis. It might end up finding its way into her mouth! :)
Girls, I always delt by saying "If your that close you better start kissing me".
Guys, never happened with a guy.
