TIFU by accidentally saying "I love you" on a first date

This was over a year ago but it still haunts me sometimes...

So, I went on this super cool date with a girl I had met recently. We went hiking 2 miles to the top of a mountain and sat on the edge of a cliff where you could see the ocean way off in the distance. It was the perfect place, we sat there for an hour despite it being over 100° F, we kissed while we watched the view and just joked around while talking about things.

Eventually we hiked back down where we were yelled at by someone because, unbeknownst to us, we were on private property. This just made the date even better as we complained about the person for the entire 2 mile hike to the bottom. Once we hit the bottom, we followed the hiking trails for a while where we setup picnic and I played guitar (yes I brought an acoustic and hiked with it) while eating lots of food.

After that, we began to pack up the picnic, but not before she gave me the longest hug ever. I'm not very used to such long hugs since I'm a pretty awkward person, but from seeing lots of movies, I knew I should've said something or whispered something in that moment.

After about 5 seconds of me thinking that I had to say something "romantic" during this hug, I randomly blurted/whispered out in the most awkward way, "I love you!"

The world became super silent after this as I prayed that she didn't hear what I just said. She never responded and just remained silent, so I figured she was either thinking that I was really weird or that she never heard me say anything. I let go of the hug and silently began packing up my things as I cursed at myself in my head. I knew that if she heard me, I would've came off as really awkward or pushy or something.

We went on our way back to my home where we bathed some puppies that my dog recently had, and finished out the date. We went on only one more date afterward about a week later.

I came to find out from a good friend on the phone that, she did indeed hear what I awkwardly said and it made her feel very weird. She said to my friend that she, "didn't feel the same way because we barely know eachother and I was latching on too quickly" etc. etc.

I knew there was no easy way of explaining to her that I never meant to say it and it was a just a mind fart. So I decided to keep quiet and hope she wouldn't mention anything to me. I figured it was also be too random to bring it up a week later.

Fast forward another week and she decides to cut off ties with me because she felt awkward about me saying, "I love you" and that she felt, "she wasn't ready for that kind of commitment so soon."

I was really bummed out because I really enjoyed hanging out with her and getting to know her, but I guess not everything works out.

So yeah, I learned my lesson and have been way more careful with what I say to people. Especially when on a first date.

TLDR; I went on a first date and accidentally whispered "I love you" while hugging. I was then cut off two weeks later for committing too fast to a relationship.

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
