    I can add that if you ever say something that you yourself think was stupid, it’s often better to just own up to it than to play it off (within limits). Something like “That was a stupid thing for me to say, I’m sorry, you’re just very beautiful and I’m a bit nervous” as an example.

      …yeaaaah… that’s worse than original. “Nah, sorry, got brainlocked cuz damn you’re beautiful”.

      Make it informal, silly and goof off of your own reaction to remove the awkward and embrace the “you’ll make fun of me for this later”.
