TIFU by running away when a girl made the first move

Submitted by Im-a_fuck-up t3_yvu7x5 in tifu

I would like to start this off by saying I have no concept of rizz whatsoever. With that being said I go to church with this girl w wll call her "ophelia" cuz I love that song. Anyway me and Ophelia are very close friends I noticed she was always a little more physical with me didn't think anything of it at the time. So we're sitting outside on a bench and just chilling we had walked over to McDonald's across the street from are church and she bought me something because I'm dirt poor. Anyway so we're sitting on this bench eating McDonald's and she HOLDS MY HAND. Damn near cried I do not know why I was so scared at the concept of somebody liking me. I do the natural thing I ran away faster than a pedo looking at Chris Hansen. McChicken in mouth just bolting it. I locked myself in the bathroom stayed there for like 20 minutes I don't know why I was doing this I was terrified. And then when I come out Ophelia sitting at the door of the bathroom just waiting for me. This poor girl it was almost in tears. I had to comfort for this girl for like the next 30 minutes.

TL;DR girl tries to hold my hand. I run away with my McDonald's and going lock myself in the bathroom. Girl waits for me outside bathroom. =Sad woman: (.

When you like someone a lot, and it feels real, it can be very scary. Good news is you will likely handle things better in future

With experience, you often gain wisdom. Even if you’re oblivious, you’ll likely be less less oblivious as you gain experience/wisdom. PS-I’m the oblivious type too, so I’m speaking of how things went for me as I got older

I mean, it is funny from the outside, I am not going to lie, but being scared of something new is normal and sometimes being scared makes you act outside of who you are.

I hope she understood you were just scared, not rejecting her in a brutal way

Don’t talk about yourself so negatively, my man. This interaction didn’t go super well. But, she waiting for you outside the bathroom. She saw you didn’t know what to do and was kind enough to see beyond that to the person you are underneath. If you tell yourself, “I’m oblivious. I’ll fuck up again in the future. I am no good,” you best believe those things will be true, but only because you believe them. Start telling yourself things that you want to be true. “When I fuck up, I know I can recover. I am not bound to fuck up. I am learning, growing, and deserving of peace and love. Success is within my reach. I am not where I want to be, but I can work to get myself there.” Simple affirmations that may feel like “lies” at first but in reality can be and will be true IF you start to believe them. Our personal identities are mostly the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves about our lives. Start telling yourself a better story. You are worthy of self confidence, peace, joy, and love. But you will only have those things when you believe they’re possible for you. You got this.

And now you a Ophi go on a mission trip together and then travel the country in a van with a cute pupper. DO IT. She really likes you if you ran away and she found you and waited. That's a special kind of love and patience and that girl will learn your favorite recipes, and make them better than your momma does. Trust and believe, do not let her go

My dude…. If you like her then the best thing you could do is start slow. Hold her hand back. Running like that probably scared her as much as her holding her hand scared you. My old man advise to you is to talk to her. Heart to heart. Tell her you didn’t know how to process what happened. I’m sure she will understand. Girls are pretty cool like that. Usually. You say your oblivious. We all are my friend. Listen to her. Pay attention to body language and comments. There is a lot of information there. You’ll get there I promise. It’s hard some times. I know this because I was kind of like you when I was young. I over came it with the same advise I just gave you. Relationships are awesome.

Could’ve been worse. Could’ve been Taco Bell.

I got you beat. I was 12, playing strip spn the bottle with two 14 year old girls. We were all down to our underwear when the bottle pointed at me. I stood up, made like I was goind to drop my whitey tighties, but grabbed my clothes and ran away an hid under my parents Buick LeSabre. 5 years of celibacy ensued.

It probably took her a great deal of courage to do that, and you basically rejected her... :D
