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 […]

Moving On
September 10, 2012
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 […]

August 20, 2012
This story is from Christina, a 25-year-old dance teacher in Boston, as told to Raz: I met Nus at a speed dating event. He seemed charming, funny and confident—everything I don’t usually see in a man. We were on a second date, and he suggested karaoke. We both got a little drunk, and belted out […]
An Evening Stroll
August 6, 2012
This story is from Alejandra a 24-year-old management consultant from Boston, as told to Raz: Charlie was a friend of my sister’s boyfriend. We’d met a couple times, we’d flirted and I had a crush.

The Weary Traveler
August 3, 2012
This story is from Kendall, a 23-year-old assistant fashion buyer in NYC, as told to Raz. I’d hooked up with Aaron in college, but since then we’d gone our separate ways: I live in NYC, and he’s in Boston. But a couple weeks ago, he reached out and we had a decently long text conversation. […]
Timing is Everything
July 30, 2012
This story is from Christina, a 25-year-old dance teacher in Boston, as told to Raz: This was my fourth date with Matt. A co-worker had set us up, and he seemed nice enough. We’d done some fun activities: ice skating and dancing. And he was six years older than me, so I assumed he was […]
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.

What Lies Beneath
July 13, 2012
This story is from Roxie, a 22-year-old grad student in Boston, as told to Raz: I’d heard about Johnny before I met him. Let’s just say his reputation was somewhat slutty. No, it was very slutty. But when we met at a party, we really clicked. He was so cute, we had so much in […]
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!
