These were my slightly awkward social moments yesterday. What do you feel?

So yeah even though I had some amazing interactions with women in Church Street of our city Bangalore in India, some of the interactions were kinda awkward too. So in 1MG Lido mall in Trinity Circle where I usually talked with several foreign women who were working expats and also flight attendants, I saw this woman and initiated with her. But yeah I mistaken her(she is Indian) as a foreigner especially an European as she has a really pale skintone and lighter hair color and the mall had a repeated footfall traffic of foreigners as it's close to 5 star hotels, diplomatic buildings and international offices. She is mostly somewhere in her 30s and I am 25. So yeah I approached her thinking she is a foreigner and said her I am just greeting new people and I enjoy having cross-cultural interactions. She smiled and said oh that's good nice to meet you. But when I asked her which country she is from, she said "I am from India itself" and that's when I was like "Oh I am so sorry that's my mistake" but she smiled and said "It's okay". I ended the conversation as it felt so awkward and we both walked away on our own ways. Yeah I moved on imagining it as a funny Arshad Warsi (he is a Bollywood actor) movie scene from movies like Dhamaal or Golmaal but less dramatic.

Then in Starbucks of Brigade Road area close enough to Church Street, I saw this East Asian woman somewhere in her 20s who was solo in the Cafe and working on laptop. She wasn't in earphones and was often looking around so I approached her and initiated a conversation. Yeah she was reserved. I politely said that I am just trying to talk with new people and I enjoy meeting new people. Then I asked her whether she is working in Bangalore or just traveling and she said she works here so yeah she is an expat. I asked her which country she is from and she said she is from Japan. But yeah she was really reserved and mostly giving one word replies and no smile or anything. I apologized if in case I interrupted her but she reassured that I didn't but yeah it felt slightly awkward how she was giving minimal responses so yeah I ended it quick saying "Okay then enjoy your day" and walked away. What do you feel about it?

Just my opinion

The Japanese women from Japan are generally shy. You should have continued talking to her.
