Elbow Room

December 20, 2012

I recently had surgery on my right hand. My right hand is my dominant hand. (If you’ve been noticing a decline in posts lately, this is the reason.) But still committed to the greater good (a.k.a. this blog) even though I couldn’t type or draw, I didn’t cancel the multiple dates I had set up […]

Feedback From a Nice Jewish White Girl with a Naughty Side

December 14, 2012

1

Continuing a fun tradition I started a while back (here), these are a few of the most awesomely bad messages I received throughout the month of November. The emails are in their entirety and have unfortunately not been edited at all. “So am I eventually going to get a message back? If not, let me […]

So Take Me Back to Constantinople

This story is from Roxie, a 22-year-old student in Boston, as told to Raz: Hank and I were hooking up during my freshman year of college. He was gorgeous and totally jacked. We had tons of chemistry in bed, but in general, we had absolutely nothing in common and very little to talk about. Most […]

Red Velvet

There were lots of things that happened on my date with Jeremy that made me not like him. The first was that he showed up wearing a maroon velvet jacket, his too-long hair parted straight down the center and a smug half smile on his face. He was definitely not my type. Here are the […]

When I Was 17

This story is from Jules, a 21-year-old student from Chicago, as told to Raz: This is the story of my first date. Funny thing was: I spent most of it having no idea I was even on a date.  I was 17, and my friend took me to a college party. I met a guy […]

Deja Vu

I was excited about Eddie. In his JDate photos, he was super hot, tall and athletic. Plus, our emails proved that we actually had a lot in common. After about 5 messages back and forth, he asked for my number, which I happily handed over. When he called me the next night, I was nervous […]

Rules of Attraction

This story is from Kendall, a 23-year-old assistant fashion buyer in NYC, as told to Raz. Andrew and I were friends. And I thought I was fine with that. One night, we were talking and joking about past relationships, and I was honestly shocked how jealous I got when he told me he was going […]

Moving On

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 […]

Serendipity

There are some relationships that are just fated to happen. And no matter how many times you miss the signs, the universe will put you together again. That’s what I thought was happening with Dylan. We met for the first time on JDate, chatted for a while, and things were going well. He wasn’t really […]

Return of the Dreaded Ex

This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist in NYC, as told to Raz: I met Ashton through my friend Sarah, who said he was a great guy who recently got out of a serious relationship. I was skeptical at first, but then she showed me a picture, and he was so pretty! Plus, Sarah […]

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!
