Costco, 'Ghost' and Barf -- Pick the Winner for the Most Terrible Date Contest

We ran a contest for the worst date stories ever and here are the three finalists for you to choose the winner.

We launched a contest Friday morning looking for the opposite of Valentine's Day. .

We were looking for the squeamish, the queasy, the awkward, the this-isn't-happening-right-now stories. A few of the ones sent to us covered those points, and covered them quite well... and now it's time to vote for a winner.

Out of the submissions we received we chose three finalists for you, the readership, to vote on.

Now, read the three stories listed below and then vote in our handy dandy poll below. And the end of today -- Valentine's Day -- the poll will be closed and the winner will be announced. Easy enough, right?
