Recently I started a thread (Confessions of a "poofer")explaining to people about how I had "poofed" on a girl. I knew the right thing to do was to call and explain what had happened, but, as many people pointed out, I was sort of a coward.

But I think part of the problem was I didn't know what it felt like to have someone "poof" or to be strung along. Now I do ... and it sucks.

So I finally did the right thing and let "Girl A" know what had happened. I can't say I feel better about myself or the situation, but she indicated that she felt a lot better now that I had given her some explanation.

Anyway, I think I'm going to start going back and apologizing to all the women in my dating history who I've "poofed" on or screwed over. I'll see you all in a few years when I'm done.

A time came when it was more painful to remain tight in a bud than the risk to break open & blossom

Quite frankly, I am not so sure anyone who has been poofed by you or anyone for that matter cares after a couple weeks. If this is to salve your own soul, give it a rest - a little shallow. Stop trying to sound wonderfully enlightened and just act and treat people better going forward.

Yep...it's good that you learned something. Just apply it moving forward.

Wow. You're an angry one, huh?
