TIFU (16m) by ending up being friends with benefits with my ex (16f)

So I know you may be thinking that we're only 16 and just going through an awkward time and that may possibly be it. But we are both relatively grown up already.

Some backstory is, we fell in love in high school around age 14 and also lost our virginity at 14 around 8 months later. We were dating for about 13 months total then broke up. After that, she rang me up around half a year later (we're 15 at this point) and we were in some sort of weird relationship for another 2 months and just finally eneded everything.

Anyway, after we had finished school, I decided to text her (a little because I was lonely and drunk) last month as I was curious to how she was doing and how life has been (its odd I know). From there we started talking a lot more and she's changed a lot and we are a lot more mature in our thinking, we are definitely friends as we face time or talk till early hours in the morning and sometimes we'll meet and tak our dogs on a walk. (nothing romantic or sexual just friendly talks)

Well yesterday we met up as she was dog sitting her dad's dog and went back to his place, the whole time we were just watching youtube and talking but there was definitely some tension there, we slowly got more touchy. She'd start by laying on my shoulder then asking me to move my arm around her. Then she said she was tired and wanted to lie down in her room and asked if I wanted to come so I said sure. From there we eneded up having sex.

The problem is, I enjoyed it and she did too but I did not feel any love nor horniness and as a result didn't finish (I also decided not to as I didn't have a condom on). I made sure she finished many times though but said that if there is a next time that I will bring condoms (this was my excuse for not finishing and not making her feel bad). I care for her and enjoy her presence but I don't know if I can see her in a way that makes me attracted to her even if it's just for sex.

What should I do?

TL;DR: I contacted my ex after a year or so and ended up making friends then after about a month ended up having sex and I did not feel anything towards her.

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...
