TIFU by meeting someone on bumble

I've been single for a long time, preferring to date casually and hit bars, clubs etc. I've been happy with this arrangement for a while, but recently I have been longing for someone more permanent in my life.

I signed up for a couple apps and started getting matches immediately. I found someone who wasn't really my type physically, but her personality was off the charts. I asked her last minute one night to go to a movie, we both showed up barely on time and wearing super casual clothes. We hung out afterwards and went to get something to eat before saying goodnight. No kissing, no awkwardness, just friendly.

We chatted all week and then had a miscommunication which made for a funny mid-week meet for a couple hours. Again nothing physical happened, I wanted to be respectful and move slowly. Although the physical attraction wasn't high, overall this girl checked all the boxes. I found myself looking forward to having a real date.

Then I went out of town for business for a few days. We both had said goodnight and I assumed she was busy. So I sent her a message the moment I was home and received a very cold reply.I Ieft it alone and the next day she sent me a text with a question about what happened to me. It started off with a somewhat happy tone but after a while she made it clear how horrible I was for not sending her a text message while I was traveling. It got worse when I pointed out that we both said goodnight at the same time and she easily could have sent me a message too. She's a 40 year old woman who's had one long term relationship her whole life and suddenly she's giving me dating advice. At that point I was trying to be diplomatic but she decided to go scorched earth and tell me everything that's wrong with me and why I'll never find someone.

I just replied that I dodged a bullet and blocked her. Now I'm getting phone calls from various numbers the last 2 days and somehow she's found a few friends and my ex on social media. Life is so good sometimes.

Be careful out there.

TL;DR. Met someone on bumble and after not texting for a few days she went full stalker.

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...
