TIFU by catching feelings for my friends ex

This actually happened a few days ago, I've just now worked up the gall to post it. Specifically because aitah.

Some background, my(21m) friend since elementary school Gary(21m) broke up with his gf Vee(21f) of 3yrs a couple months ago. When he and Vee first got serious, he invited her into our friend group. We all get along pretty well whether we hangout irl or in calls while gaming.

They broke up about 3 months ago. Unexpected to us all because we thought they were perfect high school sweet hearts. Since they broke up Vee and I have been getting closer as our schedules just happen to align when we're both online.

From a previous post, I already know I'm an asshole for thinking about dating her and that we should just stay friends. I'm here to get the fuck up off my chest.

A week ago Vee asked me if I could help her pick out some stuff for her PC. I thought she was looking to upgrade some parts, but apparently she only wanted a new monitor.

The day we met up at best buy it was raining, like a light drizzle. When I found out all she wanted was a monitor, I just asked her a couple questions and was able to pick one out for her in about ten minutes. I made my way to the front and waited for her to finish checking out. While waiting, I noticed the rain had picked up pretty hard and saw people running to and from their cars.

When Vee came up to me and saw the rain, she told me she didn't feel comfortable driving in such heavy rain. We agreed to stay in the store for a lil while waiting for the rain to die down.

I don't care about driving in the rain. I should've just left her and drove home, because this is where I fucked up.

Vee asked if she could leave the monitor with a clerk and dropped it off for later. After that we just walked around the store and talked while we waited for the rain.

I hate to say it, but IDK if I've ever had so much dumb fun with another person before. Y'all, we walked around the whole store and just talked about everything and nothing. We nerded out over some PC and game stuff, talked trash about touch screen toasters and fridges, brought up random memories and dreams of owning in-home movie theaters.

I think what really put the final nail in my coffin, were these glasses with built in speakers. They had multiple there to try on and they were all playing the same songs. We were trying them out and jamming for a minute, when this one song came on. Some pop song I've never heard before, but the lyrics were kinda cute. And when I looked at her and saw her shaking her head to the beat, doin her little dance. I don't know how to describe it, but I know that's the moment that I can't get out of my head.

Before we knew it three hours had passed since we first got to best buy. The rain had stopped by the time we decided to leave. Vee thanked my for keeping her company, we hugged and parted ways. Everyone in our group hugs when we disperse so this was nothing new, but I almost didn't want the hug with Vee to end.

This was a couple days ago, we've talked like normal since then. Now I feel like when we talk I'm trying to subconsciously show off or just get her to notice the things I say more, idk. It's just hard to be only friends now because my dumbass wants more.

Anyway, that's it. I knew I'd be an asshole for entertaining the thought of dating my friends ex, and I was fine just being friends. But today (couple days ago), I fucked up because now I seriously want to be with her.

TL;DR: I met up with my friends ex and now want to be in a serious relationship with her.

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 Accidentally taught my 4 year old nephew the word chlamydia

So I very awkwardly taught my nephew, the word chlamydia the other day and not in the way that you would think… It was actually very innocent. I was with one of my sister’s friends and my friends who’s become part of the family and I was telling her about an interesting fact, not thinking about how my nephew was right beside us. I told her did you know that koalas can get chlamydia and that they can give it to humans… just a fun fact… and then he who can barely say clear words most of the time clearest day said koala chlamydia so that happened And he went to his grandmother’s house today, so I’m kinda hoping he doesn’t say that, but at the same time I would die laughter and about pee my pants if he did because holy crap, how do you react to that? TL:DR I shared a fact about koalas and my nephew hung on to two words from the sentence. Those two words which he repeated were koala chlamydia.

TIFU by asking guy (28F) I (26 F) have been on 5 dates with where we stand.

So, I (25F) have been on five dates with this guy (28M). We were supposed to meet on Friday, but he said he might not be able to or would have to meet quite late, which frustrated me because we only see each other once a week, and we hadn’t met the previous week. Frustrated, I told him, "I think I’m done. It was nice hanging out with you, but I can’t deal with this scheduling issue." He later got back to me and said he could actually make it at our originally agreed time. We went on the date, had a great time, and the next day he texted saying he enjoyed seeing me again. I responded that I did too but also mentioned that the scheduling issue was frustrating. He agreed, and I asked if he wanted to see me again. That’s when he said he’s not sure what he wants in life right now. The thing is, I’m also unsure about what I want in life at the moment. Looking back, I don’t know why I asked such a big question when I’m still figuring things out myself. Everything feels uncertain ...
