So I just traded my Deino for a Numel I didn't really need, because a random person wanted to trade with me and I awkwardly looked through my boxes trying to find something he'd like because he had much better/rarer pokemon than me and we just kept showing each other things hoping something would stick.

Has this happened to any of you guys? How do you deal with the awkwardness of random trades and people you can't tell what want?
