This moment when you meet an acquaintance and you don’t know if you should greet them or not. It is so embarrassing.
For exemple this morning I ran in my subway and realized that there was this guy I discussed with 2 years ago. We met in 3 parties but not more.
I greet him because I kind of appreciated our discussions and we were stuck in the tube and he was 1meter away from me lol
I thought it was more embarrassing to say nothing.
He was with earpods so I gently put my hand on his shoulder. Lol Im so cringe because now I think it was maybe intrusive + he was probably trying to avoid me. ^^’
Our little discussion was a bit awkward and even I felt he was not at ease.
My boyfriend told me I should have ignore him lol ^^’
PS : I precise I’m french, because american people would probably think differently

I’m not french, I’m swedish and overe here we pretty much ignore each other whenever possible, haha. Not really but pretty much like that. I would never greet a person I’ve met three times, two years ago. Maybe just a nod with my head if he/she made eye contact. Especially if the person had earpods in. I think it’s a clear statement that he/she wants to be alone.
