Embarrassing Times People Botched Verbal Attempts to Impress

When in pursuit of gaining either attention or admiration from that one special person, you may find yourself going to great lengths to impress them. It's a natural inclination, and sometimes that desire can lead to unexpected outcomes. In other words, things get awkward. While scrolling r/askreddit, we chanced upon a post that posed the question, 'What is the most embarrassing thing you've ever said to someone you were trying to impress?'. Personally, a few instances came to mind, but we shoved them straight back into that drawer in our brain that never sees the light of day.

We dearly hope that the person in our story has forgotten all about our existence. Below you'll find the funniest replies to this question. People admitted to some pretty embarrassing things, so we think they deserve a quick 'kudos, well done'. For more, you can check out these sassy classical art memes that are half cringe, half sass.
