You list relatives, roommates, long term relationships, places you've lived, schools you've attended, and jobs you've had and then people who can confirm and validate those. Further - in regard to foreign nationals - you have to list and describe ongoing relationships and any foreign officials you've met.
This not "I was standing next to this guy at Starbucks" and closer to "I lived with, worked with, or dated with this person for X months."

Yes, exactly. Those people that you randomly meet on your walk of life and who take on a role of some significance, and who clearly were NOT consulted about being included in some foreign country's databases on contacts with someone who is now part of the intelligence apparatus of one of their enemies.
What could possibly go wrong?
That person that you dated for X months is now potentially a target for a foreign intelligence service, just like that person that you lived with or worked with. And if they are as paranoid as your country and one of them happens to also be employed in their intelligence services and forgot or intentionally withheld similar information they are quite possibly in trouble.
You don't list "random people" of any kind.
