Radical Honesty
This story is from Alice, a 39-year-old fashion director in NYC, as told to Raz: My friend Jessica told me she had someone great to set me up with, an old friend Dominic who she hadn’t spoken to in years but had recently reconnected with. She said he was gorgeous with a great personality, and […]
Jeepers Creepers
September 14, 2012
This story is from Nikki, a 24-year-old retail associate in NYC, as told to Raz: Some guys really just ruin it for the rest of them. Like this guy who effectively turned me off from OkCupid altogether with his first and only message. I’m guessing he was going for clever, but his creepiness got the […]
Ditch Day
September 12, 2012
This story is from Jules, a 21-year-old student from Chicago, as told to Raz: It was my first time on OkCupid, and I met this guy named Alex. He was pretty cute in his photos, and he was hilarious in his emails. We had chemistry right away. I couldn’t wait to meet him. On my […]
Moving On
September 10, 2012
This story is from Lilian, a 24-year-old legal assistant from Boston, as told to Raz: One weekend, I was at brunch with my friend Shelly and a lot of her friends. And when I say brunch, I mean drunk brunch. The mimosas and bloody Marys were flowing like water. At one point, Shelly informed me […]
The Back Door
September 7, 2012
This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist in NYC, as told to Raz: The first time I hooked up with Damien, this happened. Let’s be honest, the disaster of this date was not entirely his fault. The condom thing was all his roommate, and the rest of it… well, you can’t blame a guy […]
Model Behavior
September 5, 2012
This story is from Jules, a 21-year-old student from Chicago, as told to Raz: I work retail while in school, and a while back, this unbelievably cute guy, Rob, started working in my store. He mentioned that he’d done some local modeling, so after our first day working together, I did a little Facebook stalking. […]
Fight or Flight
August 29, 2012
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 […]
Smooth
August 20, 2012
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
August 13, 2012
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 […]
The Way U Text Me
August 8, 2012
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 […]
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!
