my story involved mozzerella sticks and they are the key to romance. Scratch that, they are the key to LIFE.
Once I was at my friend's apartment and I was really drunk. I crawled out on his fire escape and I noticed the hot guy who lived upstairs was out, so I crawled up another level.
My best pickup wasn't even mine. It was my kid's.
I would always go through the line of a particularly cute grocery clerk. One day, I heard him saying he got off work at 12:30 am. About 12:20, I went through his line with some beer and snacks. He said "What are you doing buying beer at midnight?" and I said "Inviting you over when you get off in 10 minutes." He came…
Is it just me, or do way too many of this week's stories involve mozzarella sticks?
I had a major hard crush on a guy at the store I worked at. I didn't know much about him, except that we liked some of the same movies and that he was so gorgeous to me that I walked into a sign once when he said hi.
Me: *wandering around eating an order of mozerella sticks during O week in college* "GOD. I ate all these and now I don't feel like walking anywhere!"
On my fathers 50th birthday we threw him a surprise party. All eight of my siblings made the trip to be there and one of my younger brothers brought his then girlfriend and her cousin tagged along. I immediately noticed her gracefulness but at the time was going through the realization that I had failed at my chosen…
You are my people.
Me(at a bar, staring at a guy's basket of mozzarella sticks): "You gonna finish that?"
My ex husband never got that I was asking him out (we were teenagers), so I finally just told him to come to the movies with me and a big group of friends. And asked him to pick me up. We get to the movie and he's like, "...where's everyone else?"
Also, one time I got a guy to go home with me by saying we could make a sleeping fort. We did, which he promptly passed out in.
Once, I went over to this guy's house and brought beer because he wasn't 21 yet and a DVD of 28 Days Later and we sat on couches across the room from each other and I just thought at him real hard to make a move. Eventually, he was like "Hey, um, are you trying to have sex with me?" and I was like "WHAT IF I AM."
I went straight for the kill, which is something that is totally out of character for me. Typically, I'll wait years for someone to notice me, but a few years ago I had enough. While out at a bar with a friend on a particularly quiet night, the cold air blew in the object of my affection. We knew each other, but he…
Newly single, I ran into this hot guy I was acquainted with at a bar after my band played a show. I was like "Hey, I know you. What's your name again?"
He told me his name and my next question was "Wanna go make out in your car?"
I invited my now husband to a Judge Judy viewing party. Of course, I was too subtle in the pick-up and he didn't really realize that I was asking him out. Luckily he got his shit together.
It was a glorious summer day in drawing class so we all went out to the historical cemetery on campus to sketch. I was wearing a red sundress and I decided that I really wanted to get the attention of this one guy I'd been checking out all term.
