Oh god I'm cringing just remembering this incident. I'll do my best to recount the awkwardness that unfolded. This occurred this Valentine's day.
I'd consider myself fairly attractive, and I get a decent amount of female attention, but I can be awkward as HELL around girls I don't know. There's this girl who works at my campus cafeteria who is super cute - blonde, cute face, well endowed - anyway, I thought she was very attractive, especially since I go to STEM school where the few girls we do have are pretty beat. Every time I went into the cafeteria she'd be checking me out, and she'd always smile at me if she was the one at the front checking our student ID's. One day I finally worked up the courage to approach this qt, and the results were disastrous.
Me: "Hey what's your name"
Qt: "Hayley."
Me: "Hey Hayley, if you were a vegetable, what a vegetable would you be?"
(She worked the salad bar so this wasn't completely random)
Hayley: "Which one?"
Me: "A CUTEcumber"
She laughed and smiled at me. At this point my spaghetti began seeping out of my pockets. Didn't really have a game plan on what to say next so I said the first thing that came to mind.
Me: "Well.. happy Valentine's Day!"
Hayley: "Thanks! What'd you get me?"
Me: *internally FUCK FUCK FUCK* "Uhh... a cucumber. What'd you get me?"
Hayley: *points at something near her, I don't really remember what she said*
Me: *Spaghetti spraying out of my proverbial fannypack* "That's lame"
Hayley: *awkwardly looks away, pretends to be adjusting some vegetables*
Me: *turn beat red, walk away cringing*
