Q: How do you deal with walking toward someone in a narrow hallway?

A: First of all, make and maintain eye contact. Look directly at their eyes.
Sustained eye contact is the most socially acceptable behaviour when two people are alone together.

-Next, make sure your posture is okay; Hunch forward, lower your chin so that your head is pointing
downward at about a 45-degree angle - but don't break eye contact!

-Adjust your walking speed. When you first notice someone walking toward you, immediately slow down
to near-immobility. As the distance between you decreases, speed up accordingly. When they're about
fifteen feet from you you should break into a dead sprint straight at them.

-Deliver a friendly greeting. When you're sprinting at them, maintain the eye contact and posture
you've been keeping so far. Just before you run, say something disarming, like "Time for me to get to
know you!". Be sure to say this as loudly as possible so as not to seem creepy for talking too softly;
screaming is a safe bet.

-If appropriate, deliver a self-assured handshake - or hug! While sprinting at the person, hold your
arms out in front of you. This is the universal invitation to casual physical contact, such as a
handshake (for professional environments) or a hug (casual). Do not wait for the other person to
reciprocate, as this will seem very odd. Instead, simply close the gap and administer a vigorous hug or
handshake. In the case of the handshake, try to make contact with both hands at once for maximum comfort.
If the person turns away from you when you make your approach, this indicates that they enjoy being
hugged from behind. Do not judge them; simply conform to their preference. It's worth it!

-See where things go from there!
