TIFU by revealing my crush in the most awkward way possible. I was hanging out with a group of friends, and we were all joking around. Someone asked a random “Who do you think is cute?” question, and without thinking, I blurted out the name of a friend I’ve had a secret crush on for months. Cue everyone stopping to stare, and then the teasing started.

The worst part? I’ve been hanging out with this crush a lot recently, and they definitely had no idea I was into them. I also came into a bit of extra cash recently and had been planning to invite them on a casual “friend” trip to see if there was any chemistry there. Now, though, I’m worried I’ve completely blown it by making things weird before I even had a chance.

Any advice on how to recover from this level of embarrassment? Or maybe stories from people who managed to turn an awkward situation around? I could use some encouragement right now!

TL;DR: I accidentally revealed their secret crush in front of friends, leading to major teasing and awkwardness. Now I think I ruined that possibility!
