I was just talking to a friend about dates "poofing" and she said that I might have one of the worst poof stories ever, so thought I'd share because it is pretty amazing. Disclaimer: this happened when I first started dating so I made a lot of mistakes that, in retrospect, I would not make today. Though, in my opinon, this does not excuse her behavior.

I went out with a girl from Chemistry.com and I thought we had a pretty nice date. It was right before winter vacation though, but I figured we could keep in touch over winter break. During the date she was at my apartment and expressed interest in one of my books. I stupidly lent it to her (I know, my bad), but i figured if she didn't want to see me again she wouldn't have taken it. At the end of the date we kissed and she said she'd like to do it again, so I thought, oh good! We also added each other on facebook (Also, bad idea. I don't do that anymore either.)

Over break I was sorta loosely in touch - I chatted with her before I got back into town and we set up a date for the Saturday after new years. The day before our date, I text her an activity I thought of. No response. I had cleared my schedule for this, keep in mind. That night I called her and let her know that i hadn't heard from her, just in case she didn't get my text. Nothing.

I get back home that night, and how does she let me know she doesn't want to see me again? She unfriends me from facebook. And not only that, when I email her for my book back, she just ignores it. So not only did she poof on me, but she took my property.

At the time I was pretty angry about it, and when I look back, I still am, but more because I really really liked that book.

If anything, you learned not to let someone borrow your things after only one date.

Just goes to show how inconsiderate some people are. Makes you appreciate the good ones when they come around all the more.

I'm sorry you got your feelings hurt. But I'm thinking you are pretty young. That is by far NOT the worst poof ever. I don't mean to rub it in but that is NOTHING compared to what many people experience after sharing much worse than just a book.

Ok, then perhaps others are willing to share their stories? I am, admittedly, pretty young. And, I hardly think that one upping me on a bad experience would be "rubbing it in".

Though I perhaps should have also said: this is the worst poof ever for me.

I would like to read some poof stories. Mine are tame and boring, so I won't bother sharing. But I'm willing to share in others' misery!

It was a hardcover copy of Dave Barry Does Japan. Probably not rare, but I love that book!
