TIFU by losing my cellphone at the grocery store

TIFU by not hitting on a girl at a maid café

(25M) I ended up in Maidreamin' maid cafe in akihabara on my own. I'm visiting Japan with some friends and didn't want to eat where they were going, but I still needed food. "If you're in akihabara you HAVE to visit a maid cafe right? Just for that experience." Is what I've always thought.

Now I'm 25M and have never had a girlfriend, all I do is work and while I have hobbies and friends that I leave the house for, I am very much on the path to being alone, just the way I am living my life. And I was honestly okay with that.

So I entered the cafe and I see this absolute stunner. This girl was an absolute 10/10 and she was so beautiful I actually thought she was one of the maids at first. So I start asking her questions like "table for one?" "Do I need to make a reservation?" But it turns out she was actually a customer! And not to be rude, but she put the maids to shame.

When I've hit on girls in the past (once per year or so) I've done it out of obligation. But this was different. I had so many questions to ask her out of pure interest. Is this her first time going to a maid cafe like me, or does she go often? Does she like it or think it's kind of cringe? Where is she from, what does she do? This is going to sound sad but I think this is the first time I've EVER been interested in another person like that before. I've had crushes in the past, but only developed them because they showed interest in me first.

I have a fear of being seen as "that guy" (i.e. the guy who creeps on girls in maid cafes). But I wish I had just talked to her about anything. I sat there in complete silence, while she finished her meal, contriving any excuse I could make not to talk to her, like how we were sat kind of far away or how the maids might not like us speaking to other customers.

I just wish I had talked to her. Asked her anything at all. But after about 20 minutes and ample opportunities to start a conversation, she got up and left.

The rest of the session was extremely awkward because (1) I had badly timed it and needed to catch up with my friends, and (2) I was completely down in the dumps from being a complete coward. The maids themselves were very nice and while I appreciate their service and hard work I don't see it being a place I'd want to go again. I left absolutely dejected and angry at myself. I can't even tell my friends because I'm so embarrassed, I told them I went to McDonald's.

I now realise that the fear of rejection is far lesser than the shame of not acting at all.

I think what hurts more is realising that fear overcomes and has complete control of me. I know it sounds dramatic, but it really does feel like all of the stars aligned at that moment and I was unable to act. I go back from Japan soon and life will be the same as it was before. I am realising hey maybe while being single for the rest of my life is cool, maybe it's not the only path for me, but I have to put myself out there and overcome that fear.

TL;DR I had the perfect opportunity to hit on a girl in a maid cafe but the fear of rejection overcame me

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
