If all you women out there are wondering why guys can come across as weird or creepy when meeting you, it's because you hold all the power in those moments, and it can be incredibly intimidating. Take Caroline's son Albie, for example, from 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' (Sun., 10PM ET on Bravo).

He's a good-looking guy from a successful family, so what should he fear from Billie Joel's daughter, Alexa Ray Joel? It's not that he's starstruck by her, but that "she's a pretty good-looking girl."

As such, he wants to take the next step and ask her out. But that's making himself vulnerable, as she can respond in whatever way she wants to. He's the one who has to make a move. And because he's so caught up in that, it cripples his ability to talk socially, or apparently say things that don't come across horribly.

When she asked how old she was and found out she was older, Alexa laughed, "You're younger than me. I'm the old maid here."

When Albie responded, he said, "You want a milk? Since you're an old lady, you know?" There was no one laughing. But Albie's not normally such a tool. He's just intimidated and scared because he wants to ask her out, and now he's thinking he may have just blown it.

So give guys a break when they make fools of themselves around you, ladies. It's not their fault entirely. They're trying their best to figure out how to ask you out, how to look cool in front of you and what you like all at the same time. Sometimes, how to not sound like a moron gets lost in the mix.
