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 […]

Elbow Room

I recently had surgery on my right hand. My right hand is my dominant hand. (If you’ve been noticing a decline in posts lately, this is the reason.) But still committed to the greater good (a.k.a. this blog) even though I couldn’t type or draw, I didn’t cancel the multiple dates I had set up […]

This story is from Kate, a 24-year-old merchandising assistant in NYC, as told to Raz:  A while back, while I was living in L.A., an old college friend invited me over for a party on a Saturday night. I didn’t know anyone, so I went straight to the kitchen to mix myself a cocktail. The […]

This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist in NYC, as told to Raz: The first time I hooked up with Damien, this happened. Let’s be honest, the disaster of this date was not entirely his fault. The condom thing was all his roommate, and the rest of it… well, you can’t blame a guy […]

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 […]

Lord of the Flies

Tyler’s OkCupid profile was funny, and ended with “*Also available in sober.” I should have taken that as a sign. Instead, I thought it was clever and sent him a message. He responded, one thing led to another, and he asked me out. We decided to meet the next Saturday afternoon for coffee. I’d been […]

What Lies Beneath

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 […]

This story is from Kate, a 24-year-old merchandising assistant in NYC, as told to Raz: Steven was introduced to me by a friend one night at a club. He was a year younger than me, and it turns out, went to my high school. After talking for a while, we discovered that he’d actually been […]

Never Let Your Ex-Boyfriend Set You Up

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 […]

One of Everything

I have to admit, I like to date men who make more money than I do. Mostly, this is because I make so little money that I can barely afford to live in NYC, and making less than I do would mean you are probably homeless. Luckily, I’ve discovered online dating, which I can use […]

Bad Date

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!

Raz is on Twitter!
