Fight or Flight
This story is from Lilian, a 24-year-old legal assistant from Boston, as told to Raz: I met Ted for our date at a coffee bar. The conversation started out fine (just the basic get-to-know-you questions) until we came to the topic of his college experience—and his college girlfriend. As soon as he mentioned her, I […]
Serendipity
August 27, 2012
There are some relationships that are just fated to happen. And no matter how many times you miss the signs, the universe will put you together again. That’s what I thought was happening with Dylan. We met for the first time on JDate, chatted for a while, and things were going well. He wasn’t really […]

This story is from Christina, a 25-year-old dance teacher in Boston, as told to Raz: I met Nus at a speed dating event. He seemed charming, funny and confident—everything I don’t usually see in a man. We were on a second date, and he suggested karaoke. We both got a little drunk, and belted out […]
Burning Love

This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist in NYC, as told to Raz: Damien and I had been on three dates before drifting our separate ways. But a couple months later, when I realized how long it had been since I’d last had sex, I decided to give him another chance. I texted him […]
derecho (n): the world’s windiest cock block
August 10, 2012
Derecho. If you live in NYC, you probably know that word. Because a couple weeks ago, when the weather man decided there would be a derecho, everyone freaked out—then it wasn’t really that big of a deal. Anyway, according to Wikipedia (That’s a trusted source by most journalists, right?) a derecho is “a widespread, long-lived, […]
The Way U Text Me

This story is from Christina, a 25-year-old dance teacher in Boston, as told to Raz: I met Dave at Border Cafe. We hit it off, and I gave him my number. He asked me out shortly after to meet up for drinks at Cambridge Common. He seemed cute, and I’m up for anything, so I […]
An Evening Stroll

This story is from Alejandra a 24-year-old management consultant from Boston, as told to Raz: Charlie was a friend of my sister’s boyfriend. We’d met a couple times, we’d flirted and I had a crush.

The Weary Traveler
August 3, 2012
This story is from Kendall, a 23-year-old assistant fashion buyer in NYC, as told to Raz. I’d hooked up with Aaron in college, but since then we’d gone our separate ways: I live in NYC, and he’s in Boston. But a couple weeks ago, he reached out and we had a decently long text conversation. […]
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!
