Sense of safe distance differs as per countries

Some years ago an unmarried foreign woman wanted me to help her visit some nice places & shop in Mumbai.

Being born & brought up in Mumbai I was comfortable to help her visit some nice places & shop at reasonable rates without getting cheated.

Throughout the time I spent with her I maintained safe distance & was never comfortable when the distance between us decreased lesser than a foot.

She was extremely elated to visit so many places in a day & shop so much at reasonable rate as she hadn’t expected it & her faith got rewarded by someone who didn’t have anything in common with her but her humanity.

As we spent many hours together she realised that I wasn’t so comfortable being close to her.

Although I told her many times that I was obliged for trusting me & pleased to spend time with you & in my culture men don’t get so close to women.

She said with a smile “You seem to be smart. You maintained safe distance to see me properly.”
