How to avoid awkward conversations when interacting with unfamiliar people?

First, remember not to talk about the problem to death, but leave a little space for others to take over.

Second, don’t ask someone you don’t know for personal information, otherwise you will appear particularly rude and put the other person in a very embarrassing situation. The answer is neither no answer nor no answer.

Third, don’t be a person with low emotional intelligence and learn to understand other people’s eyes. Because they are still not really good friends, some words must be reserved.

Once, at a friend’s birthday party, because my friend invited me to attend, not all of the attendees were acquainted with me, and even those who were acquainted with them were strangers.

I was extremely embarrassed at that time and didn’t know what to say or do. At this time, a boy came to me holding a piece of cake. The boy was over 1.75 meters tall and his clothes were of good taste. Because of the light problem, I couldn't see the boy's face very clearly.

He walked up to me, probably wanting to chat with me for a few words, but unexpectedly he suddenly asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?" Before I could reply, he suddenly said, " Oh, don’t get me wrong, I don’t want you to be my girlfriend.” I was completely stunned at the time. I was speechless at this situation. What action should I take?

I made a prompt decision, said hello to my friend, turned around and left. I really saw something strange today.
