Oddities

Mocking someone's newbie errors in a hobby you both share isn't the way to a woman's heart? Sorry, publicly mocking etc.

TV show about a place that sells oddities. Their young fellow hits it off with a young woman when she comes in to sell an articulated chicken skeleton because he's into preserving dead things as well. In fact, that whole scene felt a bit like she liked him before she brought in the chicken and it was her way of saying NOTICE ME.

Then he spends the whole evening showing her cool taxidermy stuff and not letting the matter of her early errors in preserving stuff drop. And he completely fails to understand the 'do not take this smile for an indication that I am happy with you; I am contemplating a deep grave and if you are lucky, a bullet" smile.

I fear I may have been this kid. In my defense, I am aware I was a bit of an Eddie, and I am no longer 13 years old.
