desperate

Have you ever been so desperate to land a date that you believed an absolutely insane excuse as to why someone couldn't hang out?

The best part is, the OP was only looking for friendship because she saw a cool license plate. Then all of a sudden a desperate nerd guy jumps on what might be his only chance: "OMG OMG I'M A NERD TOOOOOO LET'S SMOOCH!"
