A Naked Stroll Down Memory Lane
This story if from Roxie, a 22-year-old grad student in Boston, as told to Raz: A while back, I was visiting my hometown for a weekend. On Saturday night, I reunited with some old friends at a bar, including my ex boyfriend. Considering he hadn’t been my boyfriend since I was 15, I didn’t think […]

This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist in NYC, as told to Raz: After my first date with Alan, I really, really liked him.

This story is from Emma, a 28-year-old teacher in Boston, as told to Raz: The school that I work at has an annual retreat for all employees, and for whatever reason, the men go to one location and the women to another. Ours was in New Hampshire, about an hour and a half from Boston. […]

The Break Up
June 15, 2012
Here’s a little tale that I’m still bitter about even though it went down a couple years back: My friend Laura invited me to come along to a party at her friend Jordan’s house. The second Jordan opened the door, I was attracted. Then he introduced me to his girlfriend, Sammi. Bummer. Sammi and Laura […]
Not Your Average Joe
June 13, 2012
The subject of my next story is super famous, so in the interest of protecting his identity, we’ll just call him Joe Shmo. I met Joe online, and, though he wasn’t my type physically (he was a little chubby and goofy looking), his emails were sweet and funny and seemingly sincere. After a few messages […]

This story is from Kathryn, a 22-year-old data manager from Chicago, as told to Raz: I met Ben at a Mike Doughty concert at the House of Blues. While he was a little overly chatty, I blamed it on his frequent trips to the bar and agreed to go out with him. He said he […]
The Case of the Kissing Girl
June 8, 2012
This tale is one of voyeurism. I, Raz, witnessed a stranger’s awkward experience with a man and decided to share. This was also an awkward experience for me. Here’s why: For being the biggest city in the US, NYC is mighty small. OK, I’ve already written about spotting Dave multiple times on the street here. […]
Real dates, real men, real disasters
Who Am I?
I’m Raz, a twenty-something girl, living in New York City. I would say I’m pretty normal. I’ve got a good job (that doesn’t pay very much), good friends (none of whom I want to date), and a tiny apartment in Murray Hill (which I love). Did I mention I’m single? But it’s ok, because I’m realizing that dating in this crazy city can be kind of fun… if you have a good sense of humor.
Basically, these are my real-life dating stories. And yours. If you’ve had a date that made you wonder if you were secretly being filmed for an MTV reality show, I want to hear about it. Email me your tales of embarrassment, idiocy and intrigue at baddatesgoodpeople@gmail.com (along with your first name, age and location), and you may see your story on this blog!
