As long as you weren't getting pushy or explicit there's really no harm in flirting with anybody (you know, anywhere in your age range) unless they start displaying discomfort.

Then the solution there is to stop, not to feel like crap and never flirt with anyone ever again.<br /><br />As for the misgendering thing, I would say that it's not your fault. You weren't being malicious, you just didn't know. As long as you apologized and tried to use the right pronouns in the future I'm sure they'd forgive and forget. Trans people have enough of a time dealing with the actual hateful dicks, and it wasn't like you were being an ignorant butthole and pretending that trans people don't exist or trying to gatekeep them.

Listen to a group call or religiously read a group chat so you can find out everything about everyone in it? That\u2019s just absurd.<br /><br />On what you called b) no, it doesn\u2019t make you homophobic because it\u2019s way more likely for two guys to <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">not</span> be in a relationship and it\u2019s normal and typically OK to assume the most likely outcome.<br /><br />On a) sounds like what happened was you\u2019re just, no offense, bad at / new to flirting in general, you did it to someone you wouldn\u2019t normally want to do it to, you felt uncomfortable and embarrassed, and now are putting too much thought into the person\u2019s gender because learning their gender was the most unexpected outcome of the whole thing.<br /><br />My main advice to you is to just <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">chiiiiilllll, man</span>, and also try to get better at reading the room.
