Lost and Found
This story if from Roxie, a 22-year-old grad student in Boston, as told to Raz: Andrew and I had gone out a few times, but hadn’t slept together yet. On Halloween, he invited me to a party his friends were having at a bar. I wore a little black dress, a Cat Woman mask and […]
The Guys Who Loved Me
June 18, 2012
This story is from Lilian, a 24-year-old legal assistant from Boston, as told to Raz: One Saturday night, my roommate Christina decided that we should have a party. I wasn’t quite in the party mindset, so I decided to change that by starting to drink heavily about two hours before anyone was scheduled to show […]
The Conversationalist
June 11, 2012
This story is from Kathryn, a 22-year-old data manager from Chicago, as told to Raz: I met Ben at a Mike Doughty concert at the House of Blues. While he was a little overly chatty, I blamed it on his frequent trips to the bar and agreed to go out with him. He said he […]
The Case of the Kissing Girl
June 8, 2012
This tale is one of voyeurism. I, Raz, witnessed a stranger’s awkward experience with a man and decided to share. This was also an awkward experience for me. Here’s why: For being the biggest city in the US, NYC is mighty small. OK, I’ve already written about spotting Dave multiple times on the street here. […]
Nicks at Night
June 1, 2012
This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist in NYC, as told to Raz: After my last breakup, I went through kind of a strange phase. Basically, I became something of a make out whore. I wasn’t emotionally ready to go on real dates, have sex or form any remotely substantial relationship with someone new, […]
Logic Games
May 30, 2012
I met Jon online. He was really cute, had gone to a great college and was a fan of witty banter over email. We met at Anfora in the West Village. Here are some things I didn’t like about Jon: He was really sweaty—like had to wipe the sweat from his face every 5 minutes […]
Pirate’s Booty
May 28, 2012
This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist from NYC, as told to Raz: Ah, summer is here again. And that reminds me of last summer—specifically, of Pirate Con. If you’re unfamiliar with this epic gathering of New Yorkers, here’s the gist: we get dressed up like pirates and go on a long bar crawl […]
One of Everything
May 22, 2012
I have to admit, I like to date men who make more money than I do. Mostly, this is because I make so little money that I can barely afford to live in NYC, and making less than I do would mean you are probably homeless. Luckily, I’ve discovered online dating, which I can use […]
The Tournament
May 20, 2012
This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist living in NYC, as told to Raz: Tyler and I met at a friend’s party. A friend who assured me that Tyler was a great guy and I should “totally go for it.” So I did, and after about thirty minutes of my flirtatious charms, he asked […]
Blame It On The Alcohol (Part 1)
May 16, 2012
This story is from Kate, a 24-year-old merchandising assistant in NYC, as told to Raz: When Simon, my coworker, asked me out, I didn’t even hesitate before saying yes. He was so hot. Like Ryan Gosling hot. And I got nervous and giggly just thinking about him. Plus, he didn’t even work in my department, […]
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!
