What’s the Most Awkward Way You’ve Seen Someone Try to Flirt? Here’s What People Said.

Some people got game and some don’t. At all.

Actually, I’d say MOST people don’t.

Do you ever watch people try to pick each other up in bars or clubs? It’s pretty painful most of the time!

What’s the most awkward flirting situation you’ve seen?

Folks on AskReddit shared their stories.

1. Hahahahaha.

“I saw a freshman try to flirt during my colleges welcome week. Our freshman dorms are high risers (think 18 and 22 stories).

Freshman guy to three freshman girls. Freshman guy: “what floor are you all on?” Girl 1: ” im on 7″ Girl 2: ” 9″ Girl 3: ” im on 7 also” Freshman guy: “Looks like here we have two 7s and a 9″ Flicks his sunglasses down

It was the biggest train wreck I had seen in a long time. The girls just left. The poor guy was just looked confused.”

2. Very uncomfortable.

“Our dorm sponsored a day at Magic Mountain and I caught a ride with a few guys I didn’t know all that well. Leaving the park that night a car full of girls asked us to meet them at IHOP (guy sitting in passenger seat was frat-tractive).

We did so and our driver, who was definitely not used to this kind of attention, decided to impress the ladies by doing back flips in the restaurant. The first time it was met with “did he just do that?!?” giggles and claps. The second time it was “OK, buddy, enough is enough.”

He did this a dozen times. The last few, when he was sweating and no one was paying him any attention, were so difficult to watch.”

3. That didn’t work?

“A Geek man was trying to impress me, and it sounded like he delivered this line often.

“You see, I’m like Mel Gibson… I know what women want.”

With the cheesiest smile, followed by a “but I’m not as handsome I think.””

4. Can’t believe he scored.

“A guy I know met his girlfriend at a party using the following line.

They were talking and she said “I’m thirsty, I’m going to grab a drink”.

Then he replied “I’ll be your drink” and then they made out.”

5. No, thank you.

“A guy rubbed my friend’s stomach and said “This is where I want my baby to grow.”

It didn’t work on her.”

6. Debbie Downer.

“I’ve seen a guy crash the conversation of two people who seemed to be enjoying talking to each other, and derail the conversation with talk of extreme poverty he’s seen around the world until the girl walked away.”

7. The coat.

“When we were 16, a friend of mine always wore this big, long, brown leather coat. Awful-looking, it was.

There was this girl he liked and, lacking the necessary nerve to strike up a conversation with her, came up with a fantastic plan.

So one day he comes in wearing his big leather jacket. It was a lovely early summer day, and the girl of his dreams is sitting with a crowd of her friends, watching the cooler guys play football.

My friend walks up in front of the girl and her mates and does a loud, theatrical clearing of his throat – ‘AHEM, HEM’. All eyes are on him. I wonder what will happen next.

My friend pulls open his coat, holding it open like some sort of park flasher, and safety-pinned to the lining of the coat are a bunch of pieces of paper which read in heavy black marker ‘YOU ARE LOVELY, LET’S GO OUT?’

My friend doesn’t say anything, he just stands like that for what seems like an eternity, the confident smile on his face being replaced by a look of utter terror. The object of his affections says nothing as her face turns beetroot red, her friends sniggering. After a very long time, my buddy just runs away, mortified.

The next day, the entire school knew about it and he never wore that brown leather coat again.”

8. Weird.

“I have a coworker who texts me at random hours of the night saying “I loved seeing your beautiful smile today….”

I’ll ask him to stop, and he’ll be all sullen for a few days until he resumes his behavior.

It’s pretty awkward, especially since he’s much older than me.”

9. Wow.

“I was sitting in the cafeteria at school minding my own business. A cute girl was sitting by herself in a nearby booth, also minding her own business.

Suddenly, a known neckbeard comes up, sits down in her booth, holds up a cloth to her face, and asked “Does this smell like chloroform to you?” She didn’t really understand and just said “…what?”, but was visibly (and understandably) creeped out.

He didn’t really know what to do, so he awkwardly sat there for a few seconds and then just left.

It was physically painful to watch.”

10. Classy move.

“I used to work drive thru cash register/handing out the food at a fast food restaurant.

One day, this creepy dude pulls up to the window and is straight ogling me as I take his cash. He had just $1 in change, so I handed it back to him. A few seconds later, I hand him his bag of food and tell him “thanks, have a good one!” He smiles. I close the window.

A few seconds later, he knocks on the window. Alright, maybe he wants ketchup or something. Nope. He hands me back the single dollar bill. He says, “You deserve this for looking good, sweetheart.” Creepy smile plastered on his face, he drives away.

I felt like a stripper.”

11. Dancin’ Dave.

“When I lived in NYC I met this guy we called Dancin’ Dave. there are several stories about this guy, but one that fits the topic is the night he ran across a bachelorette party.

Dave would get drunk after 2 beers. We show up at this bar/club on the lower east side and he immediately orders 2 beers and slams them. He then rips off his fleece to reveal a freshly washed white t.

Just as he turns around, he sees the group of girls in the party and starts to dance over. He gets in the middle, does some pointing moves, some booty drops, then kind of settles out dancing with one of the girls.

My roommates and I are loving what we are watching. We see that they are talking and she is laughing. Thank god, because you either get weirded out by dancing dave or love him to death. As the song changes, he hears a familiar tune sang by the Black Eyed Peas and he just couldn’t stop. He dropped to the floor and grabbed her ankles.

One hand on either ankle kind of holding her there. He looks up and yells “I GOT YA ANKLES!” She then laughs, and frees herself from his creep lock and goes back to her friends. Dancin’ Dave comes over to us and say’s he thought everything was going great. We were like wtf, dancin’?! what did you do?! “I grabbed her ankles” he smirked.

It was from that point forward I knew I would never grab a girls ankles.”

People Talk About the Most Awkward Ways They’ve Seen Folks Try to Flirt

Do you know what the term EFO means?

I’ll tell you what it means: Embarrassment For Others.

It’s when you see something some awkward and cringeworthy that you get embarrassed for the person it’s happening to…who isn’t you, by the way.

And I personally get a lot of EFO when I see people try to flirt with each other.

AskReddit users talked about the most awkward ways they’ve seen people flirt.

Let’s get weird!

1. Just like Michael Scott.

“I bartend weddings at a resort and I was stuck next to the dance floor in a really small room a few weeks back. The bride and groom were precious but the people who attended were…wacky to say the least.

One gentleman in particular could probably compete and win a Michael Scott look and act alike contest. He was goofy, free spirited, but did the awkward stuff like push people out of their chairs to dance or (very poorly) do the worm.

Through the latter half of the night he was dancing with a younger woman, despite having a ring on his finger while her not so much. He would lean in for a kiss and she would slowly pull away awkwardly.

She pulled him out of the room a couple of times but they kept returning to the dance floor for their awkward slow dance and missed kisses. As the night progressed he kept trying and more frequently.

I never saw a kiss, only extreme awkwardness.”

2. A real charmer.

“I had an account on OkCupid and a guy messaged me saying something to the effect of “you have a lazy eye, but it’s okay because you have a nice eye color. I got surgery to correct my lazy eye. I can work around your lazy eye. Message me back.”

Yeah, I didn’t message him back.”

3. Let me tell you about my fish.

“My ex and I were out bowling one time and I went to grab us beers.

I come back to a guy going into detail about his extreme fish collection and how she should check out his fish.”

4. The lingerer.

“Was out with a couple of girlfriends this weekend. One guy proceeds to sit at our table.

Within five minutes his friend joined him (friend barely said a word). Guy 1 was quiet and mumbled and asked my girlfriends and I each at least 3 times what we did and then asked my friend if he could eat some of her food.

They lingered for like half an hour at least…it was weird.”

5. He blew it.

“The worst experience I ever encountered was at a Final Fantasy symphony orchestra concert in Atlanta.

This guy approached my sister and I wearing a large Squaresoft blazer and velcro shoes. It was the nerdiest thing I have ever witnessed. He proceeds to ask my sister what her favorite Final Fantasy song was. Then he uttered this gold.

“You remind me of Aeris. Can I be your Cloud?”

I walked away from that with an uncontrollable gut wrenching laughter and left my sister with that guy. Whenever I see her at holidays I always bring it up.”

6. Not a good year.

“I kept running into this girl throughout the day.

Towards the end of the night, I saw her at a WaWa and so I said, “D**n girl, your nickname must be Visa, cause you’re everywhere I want to be”.

There was a store full of people to witness this. 2004 was a trying year for me.”

7. AWKWARD.

“At a previous job I overheard a guy hitting on one of my cubicle neighbors. It was his last day at the company so it seemed like his thought was “now or never man, gotta at least give it a shot!”

He comes over and awkwardly lets her know he has two tickets to an event, and wants to know if she’d want to join him and grab dinner while loudly and repeatedly blasting nervous fa**s the entire time he’s talking.

She tried to let him down easily, and I stared blankly at my monitor and used all of my strength to keep quiet. I felt bad for the dude, and more power to him for trying, but it makes for a funny mental image now.”

8. Poor guy.

“I was at a party with some good friends. There was this guy there that I think was only invited out of pity. Poor guy.

Anyway, the party is going fine, people are in all the common rooms chatting and eating. The poor shmuck, we’ll call him Bryant, comes up to me and asks if I’ve seen his phone. “No” I say. He lost it he says. Can I call it he asks.

Alright, no biggie, I ask for the number and call it. I walk with him to the other room, which was the darkest most out of the way room in the house, and I hear it rigging. Bryant then proceeds to pull it out of his pocket and says “oh, I guess it was in my pocket the whole time.”

I begin to leave. He then, interrupting my stride, throws an arm around my shoulder and says, “well now you have my number”. “Yep” I say and proceed with haste out of the room.

I can see how he may have thought is was a good idea. It was not.”

9. Trainwreck.

“I was working at a club. This girl wanted to dance with me. I respectfully declined because security guys aren’t allowed to dance with girls and would get fired.

All night she kept asking her friends to come up to me to dance with her. I was flattered but still said no.

At the end of the night she came up to me drunk and said “I’m really drunk right now. If you don’t go home with me tonight, I’m going to drive my car into a fu**ing tree tonight!”

That kind of made me cringe. I bought her a taxi ride home.”

10. Bad move.

“I was at a restaurant one night and one of the guys in our group thought the waitress was gorgeous. He would try to strike up a conversation with her whenever she came to the table but she wasn’t having any of it.

In a last ditch effort to impress her he asked for some extra napkins and after she dropped them at the table, he wrote his number on one and the folded it into an approximation of a rose. Then he walked up to her, while she was waiting on another table, and gave it to her.

He interrupted the customer that was in the middle of giving his order. Total d**k move. He was heartbroken when she never called him.”

11. Creeper.

“So I was at Burger King with my mom and little brother. Not a huge fan of Burger King so I asked her to get me a salad and I’d go find us a seat.

I go to the back corner area and grab a table and just sit and wait on my phone. Out of the corner of my eye I see this guy start scooching closer towards me. Eventually he’s about a table away. So suddenly he starts chatting with me and me being a socially awkward shy person I just sort of nod and stuff to what he’s saying.

Suddenly he turns the chatting into this weird flirty/cocky look-at-me sort of attitude. He starts telling me he was in the navy (no way he was either, he wasn’t even 18 yet) and he starts talking about prostitutes! Asian prostitutes that he met and hung out with on his Navy adventures. Starts hinting he’s not a virgin.

I’m super uncomfortable and trying to see where the F**K my mom was to end this conversation. She’s over with my brother smiling at me probably thinking I’m hooking up with this guy. Then he changes the subject to can I maybe text you sometime? I flat out said “no, I don’t have texting” (which was true) so he like throws his number that he apparently already had written down at me.

He then tells me to text him because he works at Walmart and can only afford texting, not calls. I’m like “uh…” And he like leaves in a dramatic floaty type of way. He sort if spun out of the booth. My mom finally comes over and wants all the “juicy” details and I tell her what happened. Her “happiness” of me possibly getting a date turns into hysterical laughter. It was one of the weirdest encounters ever.

Moral of the story: don’t tell a girl you slept with Asian prostitutes. It’s not impressive.”

12. That’s bad.

“My aunt’s best friend’s son has had a HUGE crush on me since I was six years old. When we were 12 or 13, he proceeded to sing me ‘Hey There Delilah’ but switched it out with my name and sang it in front of my aunt’s family.

I still cringe when I think about that. And at my sweet 16, he made a twenty minute long speech about how important I was to him in front of all my friends, family, and my boyfriend at the time.”

BlackBerry hired actresses…

BlackBerry hired actresses to flirt with men in bars in order to push Blackberries on the public. Referred to as stealth marketing, the women would flirt with men and get them to put their numbers in their Blackberries, trying to show off how cool they were.
