October 3, 2012
So… where were we? Oh yes, after the epic getting-to-speed-dating adventure (Read about it here), Lucy, Kathy and I were all set to begin.

I’ve been wanting to try speed dating since I started this blog. As something of a dating enthusiast, I can’t think of anything more up my alley than cramming twenty five-minute dates into one night. After all, when was the last time it took me more than five minutes to decide whether a guy was […]

Misdirected
September 24, 2012

Pulling A Fast One
September 17, 2012
You know a date is really bad when it’s so short that your bus ride home counts as a transfer from your bus ride there. I think my entire evening with Xavier lasted 45 minutes. It actually didn’t start out terribly, but I knew from the beginning that we were very different. He was from […]

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 […]
