Road Rage
This story is from Naty, a 32-year-old administrative assistant from Brooklyn, NY, as told to Raz: My online dating tool of choice was OkCupid. While browsing, I met Timothy, and we hit it off pretty well. He seemed like a cool guy by email and text, so we decided to meet up. I’d mentioned in […]
Attachment Issues
December 4, 2013
This story is from Sam, a 27-year-old student in L.A., as told to Raz: Wedding’s are a great place to meet girls, right? I say, wrong. At a friend’s weddings, I tend to assume that everyone is awesome because they’re also friends with my awesome friend. That’s the assumption that lead me to my experience […]
Yup…I Pass

Back by popular demand (and because I’ve received so many bad OkCupid messages that I’m starting to think these men know I’m collecting them), here’s a compilation of some of the best bad emails I’ve received lately. They are unedited, they are unfiltered, and they definitely didn’t get a response. 1. “So when are […]
Vomit is the New Black
November 3, 2013
I met Aaron on Hinge, my new favorite dating app. For those unfamiliar, Hinge sets you up with your Facebook friends’ single friends. It’s awesome because it feels less random than other dating sites. After all, you already have a friend in common! Anyway, Aaron seemed normal enough, and he was Facebook friends with a […]
Go With The Flow

This story is from Rebecca, a 26-year-old journalist in NYC, as told to Raz: Jon and I had been dating for a few months, but waiting to have sex. Finally, we decided that a weekend getaway would be a fun way to commemorate our “doing it” for the first time. He invited me to his […]
Something Blue
October 2, 2013
This story is from Donald, a 26-year-old entrepreneur in NYC, as told to Raz: Kate was my high school girlfriend. Now we both live in NYC, and in the 8 years since high school graduation, we’ve had a few run ins. A couple of those run ins have resulted in drunken make outs in bars. […]
Interpersonal Communication
September 24, 2013
This story is from Eliza, a law student in NYC, as told to Raz: It was the beginning of my first year of law school, and, in some of my more boring classes, my girl friends and I played a game where we made lists of those in the room we’d be willing to sleep […]
Sexnado

This story is from Sofia, a premed student in Seattle, WA, as told to Raz: I have to admit, I was looking for a one night stand. I met Ryan on OkCupid and he seemed pretty cool. He was a computer science and applied math double major at Berkeley and I definitely find intelligence attractive. […]
The Replacements
August 20, 2013
This story is from Sam, a 27-year-old student from L.A., as told to Raz: I went to a club with Jessica, a girl I’d been hooking up with. After a night of dancing, I assumed we’d be heading back to my place. But when I asked if she wanted to leave, she got a mischievous look […]
Recent OKCupid Gold (Nothing Gay Though Because I’m Straight.)
August 6, 2013
Ok guys, I’m not saying that every message you’re sending me on an online dating site needs to be an individually crafted personal ode to why I’m the perfect girl for you. In fact, that sounds really creepy. More often than not, a simple “Hey, how are you?” does the trick just fine. With that […]
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!
