Can’t Rain on My Parade
This story is from Jen, a 24-year-old journalist living in NYC, as told to Raz: I met Stan in a sports bar on a Friday night. He approached me, and I was instantly turned on by his lack of sloppy drunkenness and his ability to have a conversation despite the fact that there was a […]
Missed Connection
April 30, 2012
This story is from Stephanie, a 24-year-old office manager in NYC, as told to Raz: It was my average terrible commute to work. The 4/5 train was so crowded that I was shoved up against the door. But I decided to make the best of it, cranking up the volume on my iPod and silently […]
Saved By the Bum
April 28, 2012
This story is from Jen, a 24-year-old journalist living in NYC, as told to Raz: I was reviewing a show for work and had an extra press ticket, so I invited Bill, a professional poker player (so badass!) who I’d been out with the week before. Apparently, Bill is not a huge fan of modern […]
Silent Night
April 24, 2012
This story is from Michelle, a 24-year-old fashion editor living in NYC, as told to Raz: For our fourth date, Charlie invited me to a classical concert. It was a little out of character for him, but nice, I thought, and very mature. We heard the weather might get bad, so we gave ourselves plenty […]
Surprise!
April 19, 2012
This story is from Megan, a 28-year-old writer in NYC, as told to Raz: It was my third date with Alex, and I was excited about him. After all, he was sweet, smart and easy on the eyes—a rarity in NYC. He texted me the night before to say that he had exciting plans for […]
Three’s A Crowd
April 14, 2012
This story is from Jen, a 24-year-old journalist living in NYC, as told to Raz: Pat and I had been dating for a little over a month. He was funny and smart (an engineer), and when he invited me to a housewarming party at his new apartment, I was excited. This was my first chance […]
Jack of All Moods
April 5, 2012
This story is from Dani, a 28-year-old sales rep living in NYC, as told to Raz. I’m not one to linger when it comes to online dating. If there’s someone I like after a couple of emails, and they don’t ask me out, I pretty much get bored and move on. After all, you can […]
New Lows in Bill Paying
March 5, 2012
This story is from Stacy, a 23-year-old acting student living in NYC, as told to Raz. Jason and I met in a bar, and I was immediately attracted to him. But when he asked me out the next day, I was really nervous. I’d never been on a post-college date, and I wasn’t sure how […]
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!
