Actually performed by this Troper, who didn't realize the awkwardness until the boy went bright red and started stammering.

Happened to this troper and her handsome male friend (who already has a girlfriend) when he taught her how to play pool.

This troper had his latest Ballroom and Latin exam taken with him dancing with a girl he has feelings for. She's one of the dance teachers but a little bit younger than him. Also, when did this happen? On his latest birthday!

This troper worked with a female cosplayer on one of his cosplays for a then-upcoming anime convention, and of course, the work involved getting his measurements taken and having her make marks on his costume (for the purpose of where to fine-tune it later) while he was wearing it. At least one marking was on a spot covering his nipple, and another marking was right above his groin.

This troper experienced this when a funny, intelligent male friend taught her to tango. It didn't help that both parties were dressed in formal wear.

Swing dancing. Full stop. (Watching two extremely attractive guys attempt to teach each other was possibly one of the hottest real life moments I've ever witnessed. Both were straight. Nommm.)

This troper commonly has to do this in computer classes with somebody who is verging on being my stalker. On one particularly long explanation, I added, "You know I'm just doing this to torture you, right?"

This troper had to take dance lessons in highschool. He's very shy, not to mention somebody you wouldn't want to get into physical contact with, so he tried to avoid doing this as much as possible (keeping his hand hovering a few inches off his partner's back and generally avoiding getting uncomfortably close), but one girl was actually ''offended'' by him doing that. She then grabbed his hand, placed it directly on her butt, leaned close and begun instructing him step by step how to dance properly.

Subversion: This troper has taught several of her male friends how to dance by demonstrating the leader's part in front of them, having them follow through by themselves with strictly verbal corrections on posture, and ''then'' allowing them to dance with her. Observers tend to comment on the professionalism, but it was how she was taught and encouraged to practice, since the lack of a partner keeps dancers from leaning on each other.

This troper was taught to tie a tie this way by her crush, who incidentally said he didn't know how to tie it while facing her, and needed to be behind her to do it properly, which translated more to leaning up against her and being entirely too close to her for comfort. He knew ''full'' well what it did to me, and it was payback for demonstrating my great skill at eating lollipops earlier.

I used to teach Jujitsu. This involved a lot of grappling, so I wound up frequently in close proximity to students. I was always professional about it, but it got awkward when I was assigned to teach bearhug defenses to my girlfriend's hot twin sister.

From my experience, it happens a LOT in karate; there is nothing intimate about it, and really, when it happened to me, I just found it irritating.

Pretty much inevitable in any martial arts class. Usually it isn't a problem, but occasionally something makes you wonder. The girlfriend of one of my karate instructors is also in our club. She seems far too excited when trying to kick him in the stomach...

This troper taught a friend of his how to play the bass like this.

This troper taught a friend how to shoot a rifle like this.

Taught my girlfriend how to do a basic foxtrot like this. For bonus points, we were at an anime convention and doing it in our pajamas :3 Crowning Moment of Awesome, until her poor leg decided to hate on her. Unfortunately, this troper didn't take advantage of it,and if she could do it all over again, this will involve too close for comfort, my hand purposely too low, and a much sexier piece of nightwear.

I had this happen to me. There was a guy I was close friends with, and this being 8th grade, we became the FanPreferredCouple of our class. It got to the point where our respective friends shuffled the lines so we danced together the whole time. It was painfully awkward, and felt very incestuous for both of us.

Happened to me when I was learning how to shoot a bow and arrow yesterday (14 Nov 09). Slight subversion if possible; she's already my girlfriend.

This troper was taught to slow-dance this way, but not by his crush at the time. Instead, he was taught by a friend-of-a-friend goth girl, which lead to much awkwardness and trying very hard not to stare into her cleavage.

For me it was learning basics for tango, waltz and salsa. This girl had a jealous boyfriend and I was just a curious learner. Lessons went well and I learned a lot. Funny part, she taught me the female role.

A particurally funny and non-romantic version. This female figure skating troper, and her female friend were choreographing a program to The Mad Tea Party from AliceInWonderland. She was trying to teach this trope pair skating in hopes of being able to add it in. It was insanely awkward, and we both agreed to NOT add it into the program.

This troper taught a female friend, with whom he was and to a lesser extent is very close to how to play the drums for Rock Band this way.

This troper recalls having her chemistry teacher helping her to pour chemicals into a flask. Well, there were still 1~2 centimeters in between, but woooah!

I was on a bus on the way to a church trip. I was wearing a beanie and filming for a documentary. One of the girls there saw the beanie and said, "here, let me fix it". She reached up and straightened out the hat. Although she's somewhat attractive, she's two years younger than me and I was more concerned with filming both of us as a ship tease for the documentary. My actual feelings were shocked, but thankful.

This troper and her then-friend-now-boyfriend were playing a skiball game on the Wii. The Wiimote was refusing to register this troper's movements and wouldn't toss the ball, so her male buddy reached across her lap so that he could hold her hand and attempt to help her. This troper, having only a very mild interest/amusement with him at that point in time, was less flustered by the fact that her cute friend was invading her personal space and more attempting to keep herself from laughing ''because she couldn't help thinking of this trope''!

This troper and yoga: one of the instructor's hands was positioning her spine and the other was on her diaphragm so he could feel her breathing. This really didn't help. "No, breathe ''slower''."

This troper once taught a girl to play guitar via that, without any (short-term) plans. So she is going to start playing a tune by herself and places my hands on her breasts. Also, that one lesson was short.

This troper's friend was very hands on while we were playing Wii. Meaning he always made sure our hands touched every single time we swapped the remote...

Two of my friends are dating and one of them plays the guitar. It was then lecherously suggested by other friends that he teach his girlfriend how to play the guitar through this method.

I inadvertently did this to someone who has a huge crush on me a while ago. He was asking me to help him with possibly the easiest computer assignment ever so I kneeled on the floor, slid under his arm, leaned on him and typed it for him. I didn't really do the trope exactly 'right' though, since instead of say, putting my hand on his hand and moving the mouse, I shoved his hand out of the way and did the work myself. I realized what I was doing after a couple of seconds. Awkward.

Subverted: This Troper is pretty sure that one guy who helped her out with how to properly swing a baseball bat a while ago had a crush on her (she heard a rumor). Unfortunately for him, This Troper is AmbiguouslyAutistic, HatesBeingTouched and DoesNotLikeMen, so it was all she could do not to hit him. She ended up politely asking him to just show her. Having stated adamantly several times that she is a visual learner in front of everyone came to her advantage on that.
