You can think of it as trying to be cheesy.

“What brings a fine thing like you around here”

Go to hug her, stop, scurry into the kitchen and grab hotpads or oven mitts. “There. You’re just so fucking hot”

“Wow you’re married! Must be some really attractive guy to marry a hottie like you”

I do this with my wife. She rolls her eyes and calls me ridiculous.
