The Index Fingers and the Kitchen Table

I only have a vague memory of this one -- please help me out.

There are two people, each represented by an index finger, and an emotional space, represented by a kitchen table (for example, the one at 403 North Euclid, but I remember it from the University City apartment too). When one index finger moves closer to the other, the other tends to move back, and vice versa.

I think there might have been some other subtleties. Like if you only inch closer, then the other person doesn't move back, maybe?

Okay. The deal is, becoming friends requires a kind of dance. Approach, then retreat. If the other person seems to move closer, you can move equally closer. If the other person seems to move away, you should move away, too. Seems so simple, it's truly amazing how often people do the "cha-cha" chase - following the person who is going away until they turn around - then they flee, the other person chases.
