Have you met such people on MRT before?

I was recently sleeping on the train, opening my eyes every few minutes. Out of shock, a guy at an age of around uni graduate literally exchanged handshakes with me and wished “Happy National Day”.
It feels very awkward. And the main thing is I don’t even know that person. Shortly after the handshake, this guy was looking around. He was so active.
I get mixed feelings from this guy. I thought Singaporeans are very conservative. But I have never met such strangers on the metro. Have you guys encountered this before?
Edit: I’m a guy. People thought I’m a girl and the stranger was thought to be trying his luck

- I’ve had to keep talking to one such guy before, because he was sort of bothering a kid about 5 years old and the kid’s father didn’t know what to do. So I struck up a very forced conversation with the autistic (?) guy so that the dad and son could escape. I learned that he was going home after going to a church where some volunteers teach him and he hopes to be able to work in a cafe in the future. Quite awkward because he wanted to know which stop I was going.
- The train really brings out the weirdest of people. But don’t worry, unfortunately it’s kinda common.
- its not national day tho..he’s a lil too earlyÂ
- Go up to the girl you like, “happy mothers day”
- I had an encounter once when a girl sat next to me and hugged my arm. There weren’t many people on the train at the time, just two of us in the cabin. Don’t know what came over me, but I felt calm and started to talk to her like an older sis would to her younger sis. Before I knew it, she got distracted, stood up and went off on her next adventure
