The Great Sweatshirt Caper
This story is from Lilian, a 24-year-old legal assistant from Boston, as told to Raz: Austin and I had been dating—well, hooking up—for a couple weeks when he invited me to a party at his acquaintance Victor’s apartment. He told me I could invite a friend or two, so I asked my roommate Christina to […]
Hammer Time
June 27, 2012
This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist in NYC, as told to Raz: After my first date with Alan, I really, really liked him. After several online dating disasters, I was thrilled, and became one of those girls who would check my phone every hour just hoping he’d called. When he hadn’t called after […]
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. […]
On Being a Cheap Date
June 4, 2012
This story is from Stephanie, a 25-year-old fashion buyer living in NYC, as told to Raz: I was excited when Chase asked me out—he was 30, had graduated from Brown and worked at an art gallery, which I thought was pretty cool. We met at 8 on a Tuesday at Niagara in Alphabet City. I’d […]
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.

Never Let Your Ex-Boyfriend Set You Up
May 24, 2012
This story is from Ellie, a 23-year-old graduate student living in Los Angeles, as told to Raz: I have a really good relationship with my ex—we parted as friends—so when he introduced me to his new roommate, Tony, and suggested we’d hit it off, I trusted that he was a good guy. Tony and I […]
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 […]
Got Mole?
May 14, 2012
I have two moles over my upper lip, and I’ve always hated them. As a kid, I was even convinced that I would keep growing more and more of them until I was left with a mole mustache. I had recurring nightmares about it. While the dreams have subsided, my self consciousness about my “beauty […]
Hungry, Hungry Human
April 16, 2012
Starting this blog (i.e. going on three times the dates I normally would) comes with its definite perks. Mainly, I get a whole lot of free dinners. But, as a general rule, I think just drinks for a first date is the way to go. After all, there’s nothing worse than knowing before you even […]
Three’s A Crowd
April 14, 2012
This story is from Jen, a 24-year-old journalist living in NYC, as told to Raz: Pat and I had been dating for a little over a month. He was funny and smart (an engineer), and when he invited me to a housewarming party at his new apartment, I was excited. This was my first chance […]
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!
