Bite Me
This story is from Nick, a 26-year-old paramedic from Chicago, as told to Raz: I met Jane in a college class. She was super cute, so when we were assigned to a group project together, I took the opportunity to get her number and invited her to a party. We hit it off, and started […]
When Push Comes to Shove
March 26, 2013
This story is from Brittany, a 26-year-old med student in Chicago, as told to Raz: When I was a freshman in high school, I had my first very kiss with Tyler, who went to another school. We started seeing each other, and I really liked him. (I mean, I had never kissed anyone before, so […]
The Line Is a Dot To You
March 18, 2013
Brett was an OkCupid find. Online, he seemed well-educated and sweet. In person, it turns out, he was more of an ignorant asshole. Here are a few examples of our first date conversations: Raz: “A friend of mine is going through a bad break up, but the best way to get over someone is…” Brett: […]
When I Was 17
October 17, 2012
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 […]
Numbers Game
October 12, 2012
This story is from Dana, a 22-year-old student from Chicago, as told to Raz: It was our fourth date, and I brought Steve back to my place to seal the deal. The sex was great (if a little too speedy), and I was feeling good. Post hook up, we were lying in bed. For God […]
Model Behavior
September 5, 2012
This story is from Jules, a 21-year-old student from Chicago, as told to Raz: I work retail while in school, and a while back, this unbelievably cute guy, Rob, started working in my store. He mentioned that he’d done some local modeling, so after our first day working together, I did a little Facebook stalking. […]
My Last One Night Stand
July 16, 2012
This story is from Jamie, a 23-year-old photographer living in Chicago, as told to Raz: After a few months of wallowing in sorrow over a bad breakup, I decided to go a little bit crazy. In hindsight, trying to fill the void of my ex-boyfriend with sex was a very bad idea. Nobody told me […]
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 […]
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!
