When Awkward Moments Go...Right?

We've all had those strangely awkward moments where you make continual random eye contact with a stranger; you start talking to a random stranger that you think is your friend for some odd reason; waving to a random stranger who you think is your friend...strangers are very deceiving *smh*; conspicuously checking out a person you THINK is sexy until you're face-to-face trying to think of a reason why you could've possibly been staring so hard other than that. No one is alone when it comes to these moments. But, I've found that the best way to get out of those situations is to just go along with it!
When you realize that you have a borderline stalker staring at you every time you look up, don't turn away really fast, stare back at them very deeply! You'll make them feel so awkward they'll completely turn their whole body around. Want to freak them out a little more? Give 'em a little "eyebrow raise". They'll think you're the perv that's been staring them down for the past 15 minutes. It's quite fun actually.
You start talking to a stranger that you could swear looks like your friend from behind? Just start a funny, casual conversation with them. If you haven't started off saying some reckless shit, chances are they will go right along with you and think it's funny. [I've done this plenty of times, trust me.] But instead of feeling embarrassed, just laugh at yourself and have some humor about it. You never know, it could brighten their day up.
Waving at a random passer-by you thought was your friend? No problem. When they get that awkward look like, "Is he waving at me?!", give 'em that "Yeah, you" nod. Unless they're just a weird person, they'll confidently smile and wave back in good humor, or because they think they F'd up in not remembering someone they've met before.
EASIEST way to get out of checking out a "mirage" is by walking up to them after you two have been staring so much and saying, "Hey, did you know you have something in your hair? Thought you should know". They'll feel more embarrassed about that and trying to hook up with you somehow will be the farthest thing from their mind. Not feeling so mean? Just simply say, "Oh, I'm sorry I thought I knew you from somewhere, wrong person though". There is no disputing that, unless you just have bad luck and a persistent, loser, weirdo really wants to get at you. Then, I'm sorry.
