Answer

Native English speaker answering. Sticking your foot in your mouth means you have said the wrong thing.

Answer

'putting your foot in  your mouth' is making a social blunder/mistake, or saying something without thinking that is embarrassing.

Whenever this woman talks to this guy, she gets so nervous (as she likes him) that she blurts out things or acts in a way with him that socially may be  a little embarrassing for her or for both of them.
