Personal Space & Touching

People tend to communicate at arms length, although with an increased level of familiarity, this distance can decrease. In business and more formal situations this distance may be considerably larger.
Touching of hands during conversations is quite common between friends and members of the opposite sex. This does not tend to be so between business colleagues.
