"If you are walking towards someone and you think you are heading towards a “which way do we pass by each other” dance – indicate which way you want to go with your shoulders (rather than your head). I don’t recall where I heard this but it works almost every time."
You are very smart to understand that!
Btw, could I borrow a pen?
And I might have a ... small request later for you.
I like the way you responded to that.
