- Albanians like to grab and hold hands if they meet a friend in the street, especially older women with others.
- In terms of personal space, Albanians tend to sit close and speak to others in close proximity. A little less than arm's length is the norm. This space be greater with strangers.
- Touching another persons arm, shoulder and hands is pretty common if you know each other. But you would not do this to a stranger. However, if you are a young girl and are meeting an older woman for the first time, she'll likely pinch your cheeks and rest her hand on your leg if you're sitting near to each other and she likes you.
- For the most part, if an Albanian man is appropriate and following social norms, they will not invade a woman's space. However, on buses and mini buses you may come across a man who is not following the norms. But this is rare.
