Americans discuss personal topics with close friends or strangers they never expect to see again. Body Language Eye Contact- is important to Americans. When talking, they look briefly. When listening, they look almost constantly. Touching-Men rarely do it, except to shake hands.
Women touch more but don t walk arm in arm or hold hands.
Issue is so sensitive that most will never tell person if they have breath or body odors. When women marry, they take their husband s last name. OK to use first name of someone same age or younger. OK to ask people how they prefer to be addressed. Older people are addressed by title and last name until they ask you to use the first name.
