Delusional
This story is from Amy, a 25-year-old arts journalist in NYC, as told to Raz: Todd and I met online. He sounded interesting in his emails, so we went back and forth for a while. Eventually, he asked, “So how’s this whole online dating thing been going for you?” Kind of an awkward convo with […]
Wet Dreams

This story is from Laura, a 24-year-old vet student in Los Angeles, as told to Raz: I guess it all started sophomore year of college. It was required that I take a philosophy course (which had nothing to do with my Veterinary Medicine major, but whatever). The class was small and uncomfortable. I happened to […]

This story if from Dahlia, a 28-year-old actress in NYC, as told to Raz: I met Tom on OkCupid. We chatted on the phone, and he seemed really great. He had an interesting background—had been in the navy—and was about to graduate from the police academy. We made plans to go out, and he drove […]
Heads Up
November 16, 2012
Aaron and I met on JDate. He was 32, worked in finance and was kind of a cutie. I was excited when he asked me out, but our original date plans got all screwed up by Hurricane Sandy, so we resorted to a weeklong text conversation. Our text flirting was going well, and when both […]
On The Street Where You Live

This story is from Debra, a 29-year-old playwright in NYC, as told to Raz: A couple years ago, when I was absolutely old enough to know better , I would still sometimes give my number out to men who approached me on the street. One day, as I was taking an afternoon break from work […]
A Clean Getaway
November 12, 2012
This story is from Lilian, a 24-year-old legal assistant from Boston, as told to Raz: This isn’t really my story, but considering I played a crucial role in it, I’m gonna tell it anyway. My freshman year of college, my dorm room was next to Jack’s. Jack was a sophomore and had a reputation for […]

This story is from Emily, a 26-year-old pharmaceutical consultant in NYC, as told to Raz: I live in a studio apartment alone. A couple weeks back, my super had been in my apartment making some repairs, and on his way out, locked a lock on my door that I don’t have a key to. This […]
My First Kiss Went A Little Like This…
November 5, 2012
This story is from Megan, a 28-year-old writer in NYC, as told to Raz: I was kind of a late bloomer. As a freshman in college, I still hadn’t had my first kiss. And I was getting antsy. The crew team at my school had to be dry for Spring season, and as soon as […]
So Take Me Back to Constantinople
November 2, 2012
This story is from Roxie, a 22-year-old student in Boston, as told to Raz: Hank and I were hooking up during my freshman year of college. He was gorgeous and totally jacked. We had tons of chemistry in bed, but in general, we had absolutely nothing in common and very little to talk about. Most […]
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!
