mesafeli durmak Explanation: Sevmediğiniz kişiye mesafeli (soğuk) durmak. http://atasozudeyim.blogspot.ie/2011/11/araya-mesafe-koymak-... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2015-03-10 10:24:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Araya mesafe koymak" ifadesi yerine göre "daha önce yakın davrandığınız kişiyle aranıza bir noktadan sonra mesafe koymak" anlamına da geelebileceği için, "Mesafeli durmak" ifadesi bana daha uygun gibi geliyor.
