<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

So a few days ago I interviewed at a company that I'm really interested in. You can say that I very much want this job. My background, experience, and degree make me an ideal candidate  for the position but the downside is that I've been unemployed for about 9 months due to being laid off. 

The interview was just a first round with the hiring manager. The interview was pretty average all things considered since it was my first interview since my last job (2 years). I didn't do too poorly but I didn't wow him either. I was able to answer all questions fairly well but looking back it all felt very robotic and unnatural. To my chagrin, at the end of the interview I was given the typical HR double speak: "it's still early in the hiring process and that you should expect a call from us within the next few weeks." I thanked him for his time, asked for his business card and followed up the next day with a thank you email reiterating my interest and strengths.

In interviews I notice I tend to automatically revert to putting on this "professional demeanor" in an attempt to appeal to the interviewer. It's likely doing me more harm than good as I end up blending in with my competition. My goal was to be more personable and be able to interact with the interviewer as if he was a friend which would be more memorable/likeable. 

**So my question is would it be weird if I asked the interviewer to an informal lunch?** I guess what I'm trying to achieve is to try to connect on a personal level outside of an interview environment. **How weird would that be and do you guys think it would help?** I'm trying to think outside the box because I'm really interested in working in this position at the company.
<bot>: Went to an interview for my dream job. Didn't do that well and didn't stand out. Want to know if it's weird to invite hiring manager out to informal lunch to salvage candidacy and build rapport.
