my bfs stupid comments

im a teacher and today i ran into a teenage student at the grocery store with her mother in tow. I quickly greeted her and introduced her to my bf who doesnt hesitate for a moment to greet her mother with "oh who is this? is this your sister?" i looked at him incredulously. first of all it sounded like a corny pickup line and secondly it's completely ingenuine cause my student is 17 and the lady looked like she was 50 going on 70 and not fooling anyone about it . (PS my bf is the same age) i told him after to stop using that (stupid) line because he uses it all the time in similar contexts. Does anyone agree with how i see this comment?

It's kinda awkward.
Like you're trying so hard to flatter the person or make yourself likable.
Or maybe he's just awkward.
Idk the situation

But it's even more awkward to be flirty when you're with your partner and they run into someone they deal with on a professional level.

kinda reminds me of my dad. he often throws me and my mum under the bus at social events in order to make himself likeable. And he ends up looking ridiculous.

I think he's an istp
