I believe the answer is:

extension

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'encounter when out with new girlfriend?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'something added in aspect of awkward' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for extension that I've seen before include "Annexe" , "Additional rooms" , "time added on" , "more rooms in house maybe" , "Additional time for repayment" .)
