Awkwardness only ruins a moment when you're not fully present. When two people are genuinely into each other, they laugh through the uncomfortable parts. As you age, distraction pulls you out of the moment, letting awkwardness take over.
There's only one way awkward ruins the moment. Here it is, ready? You didn't have a moment. When you really have a moment, awkward doesn't ruin it. You'll laugh through awkwardness when you're really into each other and you're still into each other, right? It only ruins it when you're not literally mentally or emotionally or whatever, you're not in the moment, it could ruin it. It could take you out of the moment because you're not really present for what's happening. That can. And by the way, as you get older, welcome to that world. All right, so, and I'm not kidding, people in college are like, what are you talking about? Nothing can distract me. Oh, when you hit your 30s, Everything distracts you. So things change and it's, am I in the moment or not? Those things can change, right? So we have to be able to do that, but go back to this. I'll prove it to you. Let's say it's not somebody we have on stage. It's you with your partner and you've been wanting to kiss them all night. Nothing's happened. They look you right in the eyes. They're like, can I kiss you? Are you gonna do this? You asked awkward, ruined it. Or are you gonna be doing a little woohoo dance? This is about to happen.
