"Damn, son."

While I wish I had come up with that ridiculous pun, the partial credit goes to Amelia Dimoldenberg on her first date with British actor Damson Idris.

On July 11, Amelia met up with Damson for a date at a Slim Chickens in the UK, and the internet instantly fell in love with their chemistry.

For the uninitiated, Amelia is a British media personality most well-known for her hilarious YouTube series Chicken Shop Date, where she takes celebrities like Addison Rae, Idris Elba, and Jonathan Bailey to a local chicken shop for an awkward, extremely flirty "date."

It only made sense that it was Damson's time to join Amelia at the chicken shop with his career on the rise following the series finale of Snowfall, and his new movie alongside Brad Pitt.

After Amelia began the date with her ridiculous pun, the pair exchanged flirty banter back and forth, before Damson complained that he was a bit warm. "It's hotter than Satan's toenails in here," he said.

Amelia quickly teased him for wearing a leather jacket and leather pants to the date, saying, "Rule number one: 'Don't wear leather pants to a date.'"

Damson coyly replied, "Or maybe you're the one making me hot."

While Damson was quick, he was certainly no match for the awkwardly witty Amelia, who dropped another pun, asking, "Driving super fast, did you ever feel like a Damson in distress?"

It was clear that Damson was about to be out-sassed.

Nerves seemingly getting the best of him, Damson prematurely asked Amelia, "What would you rate this date out of 10?"

"What would I rate this date out of 10?" she asked, causing Damson to nervously stumble, before adding, "We're still on it."

Giving Damson no time to recover, Amelia said, "I heard you want six kids. Is that right?" to which he replied, "Yes."

Amelia smiled and said, "You didn't want to check with me first?" And that took Damson over the edge, and he was overwhelmingly tickled.

It was evident that Amelia and Damson had a playful chemistry, but nothing could've prepared anybody (especially Amelia) for what happened at the end of the date. When she asked, "Is there a character you'd love to play?" he didn't miss a beat and responded, "Your boyfriend."

Then the 33-year-old actor grabbed Amelia's hand, looked her directly in the eye, and kissed it. She might've had the upper hand for most of the date, but Damson's kiss turned the tables.

"I can't stop watching this. the way he's leaned back and doesn't take his eyes off her. the finger twirl. the way he purses his lips in satisfaction when she follows direction. this man is a fucking demon whore fr," another said.

Another person suggested Damson's undeniable charm is "diabolical behavior."

One person wrote, "I love seeing the difference in male celebrity behavior before and after they get recognized as a heart throb."

Several others couldn't help but keep their focus on Amelia, who might be the main reason these chicken shop dates are always such a steamy success. "I love that her job is to literally just flirt with celebrities on these interviews," one person said.

@HenJoeSchmoe / Via x.com

Amelia's composure is top-notch because some folks "would've jumped across that table like a frog" when Damson kissed her hand.

Others couldn't get over that Damson didn't break eye contact with her when he kissed her hand.

@Maplemami / Via x.com

Another person wrote, "Amelia is so good at what she does because every time she puts out a date the comments are like, 'they are such a good match! I've never seen her like this with anyone else!' like no baby it's just her. THIS, however."
