Some questions can be swallowed or ignored or even you can refrain from answering them.
Embarrassing, humiliating, difficult questions vary according to the person we are addressing or asking. To some people, it does not work that way and they can easily get rid of them. For instance, if you ask someone about his/her monthly salary, he or she might not feel anything about it. The answer can come casually or without any interest. Some questions are hard to cope with or deal with. Let's say that someone asks about your wife's favorite perfume. The answer to that might become a big fuss, and develops into a fight. So, what is that question that puts you in a hole, or you become perplexed?

Dear Noaclue, I shall come back to answer you and Mr. Mostafa. My lecture is due now.
Muchas gracias Anthony M! Difficult or embarrassing questions generally make us uneasy. Answering them or refusing to do so makes the difference. As our boss mentioned before your comment. To give no answer is an answer in certain situations. Thanks, Anthony for your nice answer.
Sometimes no answer is also an answer :)
My goodness, did you see that answer from our boss? Thanks, Mr. Josef for those quick and chosen words.
For young people, at marriage age, they hate some questions like "Got boyfriend/girlfriend?" "When will you invite me to your wedding ceremony?" Those questions, following their growth, usually goes after "how's your school ?" " How's your job?" then "how is your condition of making friends" and later "when will you get married?" then, "have a baby?" then " be a father/ mother," those are regularly, obsolete and pushing them steps by steps. Especially annoying and challenging for those marriable ladies but still single. Knowing that, next time we shouldn't ask them this kind of question.
Bu ke qi he xia xia Tony! I shall answer you later. The time for my duty now. Nevertheless, Thanks.
Tony, hen gaoxin ren shi ni! Xie xie! I really appreciate your nice comment on this discussion. What you said was true. The matter needs some tactics. You are a good friend, Tony.
Interesting question . If i am asked something awkward I have learnt to be calm and say positively an appropriate answer
Neer nalavar mod. Nadira! I know that you are a respected lady. Of course, we have not met, but I know you from your writings and your high qualities. Certainly, you would give that person the appropriate answer. Thanks, mod Nadira for your comment.
Oi there, folks
In my humble opinion, the issue of perciving a question as awkward in most instances depend on the person it is being addressed to.
It is also partly afiliated with culture, education and upbringing environment. What I have in mind is, if a person has a substantial knowledge of the world around, has travelled around a bit and met different people, was brough up in a family with no targeted prejudice or abundance of superstitions, then such a person will not be caught wrong footed and feel embarrassed or perplexed by almost no questions.
On the other hand, a primitive, ill educated person who has not been out of the boundries of cultural ties, was brought up in a family overfowing with targeted prejudices and odd superstitions, will feel perplexed and even offended by most questions.
