In Five New York Minutes (Part 2)
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. Lucy was at the bar, chugging beers and awaiting her first suitor, while Kathy and I had been positioned in a booth, awkwardly preparing to go on two separate dates in […]
In Five New York Minutes (Part 1)
October 1, 2012
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 […]
Desperate Guys
September 26, 2012
This story is from Kate, a 24-year-old merchandising assistant in NYC, as told to Raz: A while back, while I was living in L.A., an old college friend invited me over for a party on a Saturday night. I didn’t know anyone, so I went straight to the kitchen to mix myself a cocktail. The […]

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 […]
It Wasn’t Me
July 25, 2012
This story is from Kate, a 24-year-old merchandising assistant in NYC, as told to Raz: Just a warning: This bad date may have been my fault. OK, it was definitely my fault. You see, when Dalton invited me to a formal party as his date, I was nervous. My general reaction to being nervous? I […]
Lord of the Flies
July 23, 2012
Tyler’s OkCupid profile was funny, and ended with “*Also available in sober.” I should have taken that as a sign. Instead, I thought it was clever and sent him a message. He responded, one thing led to another, and he asked me out. We decided to meet the next Saturday afternoon for coffee. I’d been […]
Sexual Dysfunction
July 20, 2012
This story if from Roxie, a 22-year-old grad student in Boston, as told to Raz: I have a confession to make: I didn’t stop seeing Johnny after this happened. Yeah, yeah, he was a player with really, really gross things under his bed, but I mentioned the really awesome sex right? Anyway, a couple weeks […]
Another One Bites The Dust
July 4, 2012
Tina, one of my closest friends, had just broken up with her boyfriend and was devastated. So we obviously decided to go out, have many drinks and flirt with boys. It was a Thursday night, and Tina, her coworker Alison and I headed to Professor Thom’s in the East Village. Tina started ripping shots immediately—and […]
It’s Filler Time
July 2, 2012
This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist in NYC, as told to Raz: I met Nick drunk at a bar (click here for details), and we started casually dating. When it had been about a month, he started getting upset that I wasn’t willing to take our “relationship” to the next level. Basically, he […]
Back Seat, Windows Up
June 25, 2012
This story is from Emma, a 28-year-old teacher in Boston, as told to Raz: The school that I work at has an annual retreat for all employees, and for whatever reason, the men go to one location and the women to another. Ours was in New Hampshire, about an hour and a half from Boston. […]
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!
