While eating brunch with a couple women from my office today, we started talking about our favorite trash food from the 90s. The woman I have a crush on mentioned her favorite food was Franco-American's Garfield Raviolis, but these have been discontinued for like 15 years, so there is basically no hope of ever eating them again. She came over to house to hang out last week for a few hours and this brunch was at her house and we hung out with a few other ladies from work and played some board games before I left a few hours later.

So after an hour of research at home, I discovered:
~There is not a single loving can of Garfield Raviolis on all of E-Bay/Amazon/Ali Baba but...
~Franco-American is a subsidiary of Campbell's Soups
~Once they lost the Garfield license, they sold the recipe to Campbells
~Campbells re-released them as 'Raviolios'
~You can buy 12-packs of them from Amazon

So here I am, dropping $20 on children's junk food from 15 years ago in the earnest-yet-palpably-misguided attempt to impress this person and get them to think I'm sweet enough to go on a real date with. If this gets me even one dinner it's a total success, if it makes things weird at the office everyone will have a soft laugh at my expense and I'll probably stop getting invited to lunch for a while, but if someone surprised ME with, like, big box of Waffle Crisp or 3D Doritos, there is no telling how grateful I'd be...

Goons, what dumb loser bullshit have you pulled to try to impress someone before?

I've never in my life tried to impress anyone, sorry. I had a coke dealer tell me that he used to have sex with a 1000 women every year when he lived in Philly and that he had every woman that he slept with give him their panties and also let him snap a photo of them holding up their panties. Then he would take the panties and photo and put em up on a huge corkboard that he kept on the wall of his bedroom. Which, lmao, where to even start with that lie. It's probably the most flagrantly untrue thing I've ever had anyone tell me in what I assume was a misguided attempt to impress me.

Just ask her out dude she's already coming to your house to hang out ffs lmao

Did a bunch of poo poo when I was an idiot 8-14 year old, nothing really specific comes to mind though other than one time in grade school I put a bunch of tin foil on my fingers thinking I looked like some impressive supervillain dude but in reality I looked like an idiot with tinfoil on his fingers.

There had better be at least some minimal level of mutual attraction here or things will get really cringey really quickly. Think this through from the other person's perspective (and post a trip report if you do go through with it). At least you'll have 11 cans of not-Garfield ravioli at the end of the day.

I used to study and get good grades in hopes that the ladies would like me. That is not that road to success except in very narrow circumstances.

this is really cute. you're really cute. this will make a cute story if/when you two ever work out.

One time I was running down the halls in school, it was winter so the linoleum was covered in a thick layer of salty grit that made everything slippery as hell. I tripped on a pile of backpacks, ended up sliding on my thigh-length winter coat another few yards, sliding to a stop in front of my entire bible study class. The teacher stared at me for long enough that I was able to muster a fingerguns-and-wink. Everyone assumed it was deliberate so of COURSE I got suspended. NO ONE thought it was cool.

also one time i got married.

This post is a contender though

I once did this crazy thing where a girl gave me her number, so I called her and her mom told me she wasn't there even though I could clearly hear her in the background, so I severed all ties. A few years later I saw her at walmart, and her face brightened up and she said my name. I made eye contact, prolonged it a bit, and walked away.

One time I was riding my bike home from high school and I saw a group of girls so I slammed on my front brake to do a stoppie and I went completely rear end over tea kettle on the sidewalk. But they definitely noticed me, so try that
