I can't help but think that you are doing something that you think works but in reality doesn't; if anyone decided to touch my shoulder it would definitely break my current concentration and make me wonder what the hell you are getting at, just seems like cheesy friendly guy with no regards to personal space.

If you touched my elbow I'd probably just walk away (as an american raised male it just seems so wrong).

It would probably be different though if it wasn't someone who I just met and had an accord with.
