TIFU by eating beef jerky

Post a Comment

TIFU. By asking out a girl, who was just being friendly.

Ahaaaaaaaaa, this is embarrassing but I just want to get it off my chest. I'm a 20 y/o BTW.

I get to work as a sports photographer for an ongoing football event.

Matchday 1 : There's this girl, a volunteer making sure everything is in place. She's standing next to where I was photographing. After a little "hi-hello", we talk at the half time and I tell her about the football organization I work with. A nice little conversation and then the night ends.

So, this event is behind closed doors and we're supposed to get covid tested before every matchday.

A day before matchday 2 : We meet, another "hi-hello" and a nice little conversation. This time we exchange Instagram IDs and vibe over how we both have broken phones.

Matchday 2 : We meet again at the same place, but I've to shoot some videos. So, I have a rushed conversation with her. Me & my team had to leave early cause the match got cancelled.

At this point it's become an inside joke in my team that "this is my stadium girlfriend"

Later we exchange phone numbers over Instagram.

We have 2 nice little conversations over text, and my brain is like : Hmn, interesting girl. It'd be nice to get to know her and maybe ask her out.

Me to myself : okay, you have 4 more matchdays to go. Take it slow, she's probably just being friendly. Don't. Rush. In. Based on the inside jokes. Maybe you can try to flirt a little, either way only ask her out on the last match day!

Matchday 3 : Cancelled.

Me happily texting her for another nice little conversation.

Me : I should ask her for a hang out.

My brain : You'd be rushing in! BAD IDEA.

Me : Ahaaa, I'll just casually slide it through

Me over text : I think, you is an interesting person... and it'd be nice to get to know you! Wanna hang out some day?

Instant Regret. And before I could unsend this message, she's already seen it.

Her : Sorry if you got any wrong ideas

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Now, I have 3 more matchdays to go and I guess it'll be awkward. I am not asking anyone out for all of 2022.

Should've taken it slow and only asked her out on the last day, wouldn't have had to worry about the awkward moments.

FML, not I'm out here with, "wise men say, only fools rush in" playing on back of my head.

I hope I mange to suppress the awkward and play it cool, for the rest of the matchdays.

TL;DR : Met a girl at a 6 matchday football event. Talked to her like twice, texted her like twice, thought she was interesting. Told my self I'd only ask her out on the last matchday. Ended up asking her out after the 3rd Matchday (over text). Now I have 3 more matchday's to go and it may end up awkward.

I WANT AN UNDO BUTTON!

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
