Adrien says he just wanted to make a joke to loose her up by pretending to be his statue, and Marinette lies her mouth off that she knew he was pretending to be a statue and did all of that to joke with him too. Marinette really thought he was the statue and not the real Adrien. So she loses another chance, and on top of that learns that he crushes on someone else, because he says the girl he loves always tells him that his jokes aren't funny, and Marinette knows she never tells him anything of the sort, so it rules her out immediatly in her mind. To be fair, Marinette lies all the time to him about his feelings, so it's only natural that he doesn't see her crush, not to mention given Marinette's hatred of lies and Lila, Adrien would find it weird that she would lie to him like that, plus her being shy and flustered easily is also taken into account, plus how she acts around Luka, plus Adrien's lack of social skills, months aren't enough to catch up on 13 years of isolation, and we got Adrien being oblivious to Marinette and believing her when she says she doesn't see him that way and Marinette wasting her chances away with him by being unable to be honest with him at all with her feelings.
