Tessa ReneeYou ever read something so cringe your soul leaves your body for a minute? That’s secondhand embarrassment. You know, the feeling of watching someone trip in a conversation so hard you wish you could hit rewind for them. If awkwardness was a sport, some of these flirts would be gold medalists.
Events include:
-
The Overconfidence Sprint. When he brags so loud in the first five minutes you already know the flex is fake. “I drive a Benz” (translation: his cousin’s Honda).
-
The Emoji Marathon. Ten crying-laugh faces in a row, as if he’s trying to prove the joke landed when it didn’t.
-
The Compliment Gymnastics. When he calls you “beautiful, sexy, gorgeous, queen, angel, goddess” in one breath. Sir, pick a lane—you’re flipping too much.
-
The Flirt Fumble Relay. When he tries to be smooth, but the delivery is so bad you’re sprinting to the group chat to share the disaster.
The thing about secondhand embarrassment is it’s unforgettable. You might forgive a bad text, but you’ll never un-hear a line that made your entire skeleton cringe. And once that happens? Game over. You’re no longer thinking romance, you’re giving him a participation ribbon and sending him home.
Tessa’s Final Thought:
If flirting feels like a comedy skit, you’re competing in the wrong Olympics.
