In high school I had a crush on this girl who had something on her Facebook about really liking gummy worms. I read that, thought "this is my in" so I bought a bag of gummy worms. Honestly, not a bad plan. Next time I saw her, I pulled out my bag of gummy worms and ate a couple.

Did I offer her a gummy worm? No. I was under the impression that she'd see me eating them and say "hey, you like gummy worms too?" And then we'd start chatting and [something] and then we'd start going out.

Well, clearly it wouldn't work. You should instead act like you hate gummy worms and give them to her to get rid of them.

He developed a gummy worm addiction and became morbidly obese, leaving the work force and receiving a disability pension.

Nature is fine with failure, it is expected.

It is, and then you die slowly in a ditch in terrible pain.

We continued to be friendly acquaintances because I never actually made a move 🤷‍♂️

Awwww damn...

I went through my girlfrriend's cashier lane at the grocery store for 3 years before fingering out how to get her number without not being just another dick rolling through when she has an endless supply to choose from. Turned out she had been waiting the entire time for something to happen

And everyone tells me I'd be an asshole for asking a girl out while she's at work. Well don't keep us in suspense man, story time.

That's why you follow her when she leaves work and ask her out on the way home. She's not at work then so it's okay.

Lmao sound advice, can't argue against it.
