TIFU by accidentally rejecting a girl 3 times

I hope this still fits here but I kinda wanted to share this story after all that time to maybe help someone not doing the same mistakes I did. Also english is not my first language.

I (now M35, 22 at that time) and a girl (F33, 20 at that time) met a couple of weeks ago. and started to be friends and hang out occasionally.

First Chance: Then there was this day, where we hung out all day long and then after that we went to her place and watched some fail videos on youtube. After a while we kissed and she looked at me and said: "If you don't leave, we might do something stupid." I automatically noded like I understood the assignment, hugged her, got up and left. I honestly did not realize what she meant at first but this was the first time questioning myself, why I did not get that.

Second Chance: Fast forward about two weeks later: We agreed to spent the whole day together and went swimming and later to her place cooked a meal, ate and watched again some fail videos on youtube. At about 2am we decided that we call it a day and I started to leave. At the door then this conversation happened:

Her: "Do you want to stay the night?" Me: "Nah it's fine." Her: "But it'll take you a while to get home." Me: "I'm here by car. So it won't take that long." Her: "Are you sure?" Me: "Yup!" Her: "Okay, good night."

I then turned around and drove home. After arriving I realized what she really offered me. I felt really dumb.

Third Chance: 3 days later we met again within my friend group to play laser tag. She was with us and we divided us into 5 groups of 4. My friend, his girlfriend, her and I were in a team and we sticked the whole game together. While playing she always mentioned how good I am at that game and after the first round ended we got the results from the game and went on to give out our own kind of awards and titles we won during the game. I won the Gaylord (there is a profile on a gun named that way so we kind of took it from there) prize, which is shooting the most people from behind during a game. My friend took me aside and we had this convo:

He: "You know, she likes you?" Me: "Nah, I don't think so." He: "Dude! She's into you! Don't miss all the signs!" Me: "Already did it twice, so I don't think she's still into me." He: "She is, just don't fuck it up!"

After a break, we went for a second round in the same teams. We were again walking around as a union and she then this happened:

Her: "I'd like to get a shot from you from behind." Me: "It's not possible, we're on the same team!"

I honestly did not realize what she said at that moment, but I saw my friend and his girlfriend both doing a facepalm. At that moment I had no idea why they did that but we went on. After the round we did the same like after first round and called it after a third round a day and we all went home.

I drove her, my friend and his girlfriend home. After my friend and his girlfriend got out, only us were left and while driving to her place she started a convo:

Her: "It'll be boring at home." sighs Me: "You could do something fun like reading a book or playing video games." Her: "Well yeah I could, but alone it's not that much fun." Me: "True." Her: "Well... do you wanna play Mario Kart at my place?" Me: "Sure, let's hit the tracks!"

After we arrived at her place, we started to play Mario Kart and after about 3 hours, she said, she's tired and went to bed. She also brought me a pillow and a blanket to sleep on the couch. The next morning we had breakfast together and I left.

I did not realize at first what she really meant but after talking to my friend, he looked at me and was like: "DUDE!". I felt dumb. That's when I realized how dumb I was.

About a year later we went out to a party with her friends and I hooked up with a friend of her. Two days later we met and she asked me what's wrong with me. I had no clue what she meant at first. But after a little explanation I knew what she meant and yeah. I felt dumb.

I have to say in my defense, at least for the first time: When we met, she said to me that she's tired of guys missinterpreting her messages and falling in love with her.

TL;DR: A girl gave me 3 chances to hook up with her but I didn't get the very obvious signs she gave me.

I hope you all have a laugh on me. Nowadays I can laugh about it.

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 sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
