Could somebody please explain to me the diference between 

對面

面對

面對面

對面對

?

Maybe they all have the same meaning.

Thanks,

对面 is generally used as a location so for example:

对面的商店 is like the shop across from us.

面对 is to face as in a problem, 面对问题 face a problem.

面对面 is face to face (in person) so like 和我面对面聊天 chat to me in person.

对面对 I haven't heard of, don't think it exists.
