Answer

It means to pass each other in opposite directions in a narrow space that gives each of you less room than you would generally be comfortable with. Perhaps you have to turn face-to-face to narrow your profile and breathe in to make room.

Answer

yes, but walking close is not the issue, it suggests actual bodily contact.
