Interpersonal Communication

This story is from Eliza, a law student in NYC, as told to Raz: It was the beginning of my first year of law school, and, in some of my more boring classes, my girl friends and I played a game where we made lists of those in the room we’d be willing to sleep […]

Island Getaway

September 10, 2013

1

My friends and I spent Labor Day weekend on Fire Island. Our first night there, after a rousing game of Musical Chairs Flip Cup (You’ve never played Musical Chairs Flip Cup?! You’re doing it wrong.), we headed out to the bars. Our chosen bar’s dance floor was almost completely empty. But we were all riled […]

Be Prepared

Jon, an online find, treated our first date like a game of 20 questions, complete with well-thought-out, conversation-starting brain teasers that he’d clearly memorized many dates ago. What he hadn’t practiced, however, was how to seamlessly slip them into conversation. As soon as there was the slightest lull, he’d hit me with, What were you […]

A Grouper Is Not A Fish

May 7, 2013

Grouper is probably the least creepy way to online date. Why? Your friends are with you the whole time. The main reason I started this blog was so I could say, “Hey friends, look how awful this date is going!” But on a Grouper, all I need is a safe word and I can easily […]

Stranger Danger

This story is from Mario, a 24-year-old consultant in NYC, as told to Raz: When I got home from this little adventure, it was 4am, and I was exhausted. But I still realized that this story was too good to forget in a drunken haze, so I wrote it all down before passing out: On […]

S.O.S.

This story is from Christina, a 26-year-old dance teacher in Boston, as told to Raz: Back in August, I decided to kickstart my dating life again by pretty much accepting every date I got offered online. That was a bad decision. I agreed to a date with 46-year-old Mike. While I do tend to like […]

Bite Me

This story is from Nick, a 26-year-old paramedic from Chicago, as told to Raz: I met Jane in a college class. She was super cute, so when we were assigned to a group project together, I took the opportunity to get her number and invited her to a party. We hit it off, and started […]

Being Hit On

This story is the definition of why meeting guys at bars is awful. Basically, drunk boys are the absolute worst. The other night, I was out at a friend’s birthday party at 3 Sheets Saloon in the West Village.  A guy approached. I couldn’t tell if he was with the party or a random bystander. […]

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 […]

Just Don’t Do It

This story is from Kate, a 25-year-old (happy birthday, Kate!) merchandising assistant in NYC, as told to Raz:   It was a Saturday night, and I went out for an old friend’s birthday party. It was a little awkward because her roommate Lara and I were kind of on the outs. Regardless, I showed up to […]

Bad Date

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!

Raz is on Twitter!
