Robert Irwin is making people on TikTok swoon after his classy response to an Australia Zoo visitor shooting her shot and trying to get his number.

At this point, Robert Irwin has likely heard countless fans compare him to his father both online and in person. And granted, it's not as if these comparisons come out of nowhere since he's explicitly carrying on Steve Irwin's legacy and has shown himself to have the same adventurous spirit.

But when people make that comparison, they're not always talking about Irwin's penchant for cheerfully navigating potentially dangerous situations with animals. They're also talking about how sweetly he deals with people and animals alike.

And in a recent TikTok, Irwin happened to provide a perfect example of the behavior people expect of him when a young woman asked him an uncomfortable question.

On June 14, a woman named Megan Grass uploaded a video to TikTok that was filmed during one of Irwin's shows at the Australia Zoo.

Grass had just gotten his attention and as he ran over to her, she asked, "I think you're so cute, and I was wondering if I could have your number?"

According to Insider, Grass later said that she had just intended for her friends and family to see the resulting video. She also didn't expect to get much of a response from Irwin as a total stranger requesting his number.

After telling her he was very flattered, Irwin asked where Grass was visiting from and when she said Utah, he seemed to appreciate the state.

From there, he told her that the easiest way to contact him is to reach out on Instagram so his team would be able to see when her message comes through.

And when Grass told him that she had actually DMed him the night before, he had the adorably shocked reaction we see here before asking for her name and promising to look her up.

This exchange was an instant hit with viewers, who largely commented with messages along the lines of, "Bro (in the most polite way) said 'no.'"

Others praised Irwin for the inventive excuse of saying that his phone number is "hit or miss."

Indeed, his efforts to let her down gently resonated with Grass's viewers, one of whom said, "He’s just like his dad so sweet and precious."

And Grass was clearly pleasantly surprised by the exchange as well, saying, "The people who are commenting on my TikTok are telling me that I was rejected in the sweetest way possible, which I agree."
