When in doubt
If you are in doubt about what is being said, the best course of action is to ask for clarification. “I sense you are (preoccupied, nervous, distracted, concerned, etc.), would you like me to (leave, talk to you another time, ask for a dance later, etc.). Thanks for the chance to meet if even for a moment.” People really appreciate honesty and sensitivity. You have a chance to gauge their reaction to what you have said and perhaps build a relationship from there. Communication is the foundation of all relationships. We encourage building communication skills. Next page learning to read and speak the language
