S.O.S.
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 […]
It’s A Dog Eat Dog World
March 12, 2013
This story is from Jonah, a 26-year-old restauranteur in NYC, as told to Raz: Kristy and I had been on a couple dates, and things were going well. For our third date, she said she wanted to cook me dinner. A romantic night at her place? That sounded great. Dinner was good, and for dessert, […]
Cop Out
November 19, 2012
This story if from Dahlia, a 28-year-old actress in NYC, as told to Raz: I met Tom on OkCupid. We chatted on the phone, and he seemed really great. He had an interesting background—had been in the navy—and was about to graduate from the police academy. We made plans to go out, and he drove […]
Welp, Back to Being Single
October 29, 2012
The best and worst part of online dating usually has nothing to do with the dates. It’s all about the messages. Here are the ten most creepy, hilarious or just plain weird unsolicited messages I’ve gotten this month (Yup, this is only one month’s worth). Unfortunately, they have not been edited at all (except one […]
Take Me Out With The Crowd
October 8, 2012
This story is from Amy, a 27-year-old marketing associate in Washington, DC, as told to Raz: Zack and I met at a baseball game. He was cute and funny, but was about four years younger than me, which I normally would never go for. After the game, when he invited me over for dinner, I […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
To Grandmother’s House We Go
May 26, 2012
David and I had a great first date. He introduced me to some hidden treasures of the upper east side (a neighborhood I rarely venture up to.) Earl’s was like a pure cheese wonderland: grilled cheese, beer cheese, tomato soup with cheese. Have I mentioned that cheese is the key to my heart? Then we […]
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!
