TIFU and didn’t realize he was flirting with me until it was too late

Today, I 23F went to play a soccer game and this guy 20M-21M on the field randomly asks me about the necklace I’m wearing (basic heart locket). He goes “oh I thought you were from my country since we have a similar necklace/pendant.” I ask him what country he’s from and he says Spain.

Fast forward, we switch teams and my team is playing against his. He keeps talking to me while we are playing and says “sorry I didn’t mean to be rude. I meant to ask you where you were from, but I didn’t want to get in your way (I was walking to the other field). We keep playing and he’s asking me where I’m from, how long I’ve been in the state, etc.

During the game he passes me the ball to help me score a goal for my team. I almost get it in and he goes “I tried to help you! And he says “You have a good foot on you.” Mind you, he’s playing for the other team, not mine lol. I say thank you and laugh.

Finally, it’s time for us to switch teams again and as we are walking off the field to get water her goes “man I need your skincare routine. You’re glistening!! I really need that skincare routine (while smiling).” After this I realized he was flirting with me.

I lingered on the field and talked to a few people and I didn’t see him, but then as I’m walking to my car and get in, I see him outside of his car kinda hanging out. The problem is: I’m already driving away, so it would be awkward to hop out of my car to go talk to him.

There is technically one way I can try and find him, but it’s a little embarrassing. I’d have to individually message like 2-3 guys with Spanish sounding last names to see if they’re him on the soccer app we have. It tells you who went, but no profile pics. I’ve never seen him play before, so I don’t know how long until I’ll see him again. And he said he didn’t know he was playing on our specific level (novices) and he was a bit more advanced, so I may not ever see him again. Do I message him or cut my losses and move on?

Tl;dr: I tifu and didn’t realize he was flirting with me until it was too late

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...
