24 Times People Tried To Flirt That Went So Poorly, They'll Actually Make You Wince
Oftentimes, people are encouraged to (respectfully) shoot their shots. Unfortunately, it can be tough out there, y'all. Sometimes people take a chance and it doesn't work out in their favor, and while we never want to be on the receiving end of such pain, we can't help but rubberneck at failed flirtation attempts. Here are some subtle, bold, and flat-out bad shots people took and missed...
1. This person who thought they were the "really cool dude" being discussed.
