I Poofed! oops

There is so much discussion about people Poofing that I thought I would share my recent experience. I had a first meeting with an eH match last weekend. Decent time. Nice conversation. When dinner was done and we were leaving, I said something like "Talk with you more later."

As I drove home, I realized I did not have any real interest in the lady. I liked her as a potential friend, but could not see anything more. Physical was part of it. But overall personality and goals just did not like a spark with me.

I had intended to call her the next day. Yet my life kept me hopping. I kept starting to send even a txt (since that can be done at really strange hours w/ less chance of waking someone up). Before I knew it, most of this week has gone by.

I feel bad, having done a Poof! The longer the time goes by, the harder it is to even say "Hey! I apologize for poofing. I think we could hang as friends, but I don't feel any chemistry. You are a great lady ... I wish you the best of luck in your search."

So, poofs sometimes happen unintentionally. Yet, such happenings occur with a "s/he is just not that into you."

BTW, would sending the message now still be the polite thing to do?

If you re-read his original post, you'll see she did text him.
