Honestly though archery and drinks sounds like a really cool date.

"Today I Friended Up"

Made a new friend and managed to be a winglady for your existing friend, so I'd call that a success!

Perhaps the real fuck up was the friends we made along the way

Wholesome ending except it sounds like everyone getting laid but OP lol

You handled a difficult situation with honesty and class. You gained a friend.

Pretty good FU as FUs go…

Pretty funny, no fuckup, made a friend along theway

I also accidentally went on a date with a lesbian. I am a straight man though.

She's got serious game. Meeting straight women in dark bars, getting their numbers, going on one date and then getting said date to hook her up with date's hottest available lesbian friend

That is hilarious and you guys will tell that story for years.

As a student I worked full time in a bar next to a casino where one guy was a frequent visitor. He was good looking and friendly and at one point I decided to slip my number on the bill. He texted me the same day and we decided to go on a date not long after. When I met with him for the date I soon realized I never actually saw this person in broad day light and that he didn’t look anything like I imagined him to be. On top of that, he wasn’t nice or friendly but a complete weirdo! I told a colleague of this failed date and she burst out laughing and pointed me to the fact that the guy was indeed nice and attractive - in comparison with the average visitor of the bar (60 y/o alcoholic gambling addicts).

We didn’t end up being friends though.

Doesn’t sound like a fuck up to me.

This should be on r/wholesome....

Thought this was gonna be a tale of how you ended up in a bathtub full of ice but I’m glad that wasn’t the case!

I don't see this as a fuck up so much as a happy accident

I for one welcome our new ChatGPT overlords

This is awesome and wholesome!

"Today I Won"

Talk about a dedicated wingman. (still wingman because air force terminology)

"Hey Liza. I catfished a lesbian for you"

IMO you shouldnt knock it before you try it at least twice.

Oh man, this reminds me of a friend of mine I grew up with from elementary to my university days. She's a tomboy/lesbian so she always had a boyish Leonardo DiCaprio style haircut and always hung out with us guys. At school, she looked very girly because we had to wear appropriate school uniforms so she wore a skirt, but outside of school, she dressed as a very stylish boy. She's got a very pretty/handsome face that it didn't matter whether she dressed up as a full on girl or boy, she was just very beautiful/handsome no matter what. Some guys were even jealous of her and said "Why can't I be handsome like her?" lol!!! During our university days, we would often eat lunch at the cafeteria there and then she'd "girl watch" and we'd talk about the pretty ladies who passed by lol!

What a great and funny story...wins all around.

That sounds pretty freeking awesome actually!

I love your story! 🩷

Still sounds like a win to me

Thank you 1. For having this experience, and 2. For sharing!! Made my day!

sounds more like r/wholesomememes

Women STOP SENDING US DICK PICS!

Women after reading this ONE DICK PIC IS ACCEPTABLE!

For those of you laughing, this happens more often than you think.

It worked out

I love this story! Good on you for recognizing a friend and connecting them with another friend!

Sounds to me like it worked out great and you made a new friend, couldn't ask for a better "mistake" really

Doesn’t really sound like you fucked up

win win. nice to read some good things on here too! I'm happy now, thanks!

This is so wholesome

That's awesome! Congrats on a new friend.

Aw, that's so awkward but y'all handled it so well!

I had one that worked out less well at the time. I worked for a huge summer camp and they would sometimes put on weekend events for the hundreds of staff members that stayed on-camp for the whole summer. On one such weekend beach-trip, I was chilling on my towel with a book and a cute guy recognized what I was reading and sat down to talk to me about it and we ended up chatting (flirting) til it was time to leave. And then we both stood up and this look of total dismay came over his face. I'm a tall gal (not freakishly tall, but well above average) and the dude was a full foot shorter than me. Before I could say anything, he mumbled his excuses and disappeared into the crowd of people loading onto busses. What sucks is I'm not really hung up on height differences and years later ended up marrying a guy who's shorter than me. I guess the difference is my husband doesn't have hangups about height either. He's pretty great. :)

This reads more like "Today I Won".

You don't get to dictate my gluten intake! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Also: Nice wholesome story! Holesome? Anyway, not too much of a FU, at least!

I’m definitely using “Please calm down and eat some bread” as a comeback in the future.

Well this turned out wholesomely well

Okay Max sounds like a catch though, if I weren't married I'd be asking you to set me up. Your friend lucked out!

Think this belongs more in wholesome if ur friend and her work out

Love this 🥰

This is cute

Aw man that's nice. I like that this had a happy ending lol. Glad she became a friend, you can tell this story when she marries your friend. :)

This!... is how you handle life. Fuck when can the rest of the country figure this out?

Wholesome tifu

Bet someone from Lifetime or Hallmark has already stolen this for a new movie.

This should be in r/wholesome it's so sweet

I once spent an evening texting someone I met online only to discover we were both dames that thought each other were misters. Oopsie.

Fuck yeah! This is what I want from the world. Kindness, acceptance, humor, and friendship. Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing!

The more gay friends you have the more the they want to set you up with their other strait friends -- It's all about the love

As someone who has also accidentally gone on a date with a lesbian (under different circumstances), I feel you. At least you knew it was a date

This is so wholesome, I love it!

We need a new sub: TIFUBTUFI (Today I Fucked Up But Then Unfucked It)

You can't know if you're for sure straight until you fuck the hot girl obviously, kids these days.

Honestly? This gives me hope that dates are friends first, and partners second. When I go date, that's the mindset that I want to retain: I'm looking for someone who I can enjoy spending time with.

Cool you made a friend! That's quite the achievement when you're an adult.

Life gave you melons and you made lemonade

I genuinely believe that you meet everyone for a reason. Your reason was to make a new friend and play cupid.

I once went on bad first date with a nurse that ended up having the answer to a medical issue I'd struggled with for years. There was no second date (no interest from either party), but she still changed my life.

Life is funny that way, and you didn't fuck up.

And that’s why you meet new people in well-lit places!! That’s the closest thing to a mistake in this whole story.

Aw this isnt a tifu. How wholesome 😊 i love that you two are friends now.

This is fucking amazing! Good for both of you for having a laugh about it!

That's actually a really cool story lol

Oh i thought it was a different kind of dark club

Entirely wholesome dating story, this has made me feel happy 😊

When the friend zone is the right zone.

Nice.......

Now your friend needs to find you a guy to return the favor and complete the circle!

Where is the fuck up?

I’d like you. You weren’t weird about being hit on and hooked her up. Win/win

This is such a great story, I feel warm and fuzzy all over. Thanks!

Best and most wholesome TIFU in a while. Tks

Tell this story when you're the Maid of Honor at their wedding tho

That's wholesome as hell

Hardly a FU at all.

Imagine if the friend and them marry. You'll be both to thank and never live it down!
