HOW NOT TO IMPRESS SOMEONE

Reddit asked, “What’s the dumbest thing you’ve said to someone while trying to impress them? Some of the responses:
– “I was talking to a girl about how I had recently recovered from Lyme disease. When I finished talking I asked, ‘So what diseases do you have?’”
– “Had a crush on my next door neighbor. She was getting out of her car while l was working on the lawn mower. She came over and said ‘Nice to see you.’ I replied back. ‘Yes it is nice to see me.’ She never spoke to me again after that.”
– “A sweet guy that I was super interested in told me he liked me. Me, being awkward, just said ‘Thank you.’ Later I wondered why the relationship never progressed.”
– “Told my high school crush that I owned 12 Nintendo DS’s. She called my bluff and for some reason I doubled down. Later I had to make an apology tweet confirming I only had 3 Nintendo DS’s, not 12. In reality, though, I only had 1.”
– “When she first came to my apartment, I made sure to be outside changing the oil in my car so she would think ‘Oh, he’s handy.’ Learned much later her dad was on a race team, both as a driver and a pit crew member. She had spent many weekends at the race track. I realized that my oil change shenanigans were underwhelming. She married me anyway.”
– “‘I think your prostetic leg is very hot’ on our first date, we’ve been together for almost a year now.”
