This story is from Ashley, a 24-year-old project manager from Madison, WI, as told to Raz: Right after college, I moved to a new city to start working at a software company. My roommate Lana and I went out for dinner and drinks on Saturday night to explore our new hometown. We grabbed sushi downtown and ended […]
Island Getaway
September 10, 2013
My friends and I spent Labor Day weekend on Fire Island. Our first night there, after a rousing game of Musical Chairs Flip Cup (You’ve never played Musical Chairs Flip Cup?! You’re doing it wrong.), we headed out to the bars. Our chosen bar’s dance floor was almost completely empty. But we were all riled […]
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 […]
Nice Guys Finish Last
March 5, 2013
In case you haven’t noticed: I’m super judgmental. People always say this like it’s a bad thing, but I think my skill to make snappy decisions about whether someone is awesome or horrible is something of a super power. This handy trick has made dating very difficult (as you can see), so sometimes, if I […]
Adventures in Cat Sitting
February 6, 2013
This story is from Corey, a 26-year-old nanny in NYC, as told to Raz: I’m not a huge fan of online dating, but I admit, whenever I’m at a low point in my romantic life, I’ll hop back on good old OkCupid to boost my morale. During one time back on the online dating train, […]
Brief Encounter
January 28, 2013
This story if from Dahlia, a 28-year-old actress in NYC, as told to Raz: In hindsight I’m surprised I didn’t die after all the unwise decisions I made on my first date with Frank. We’d met online in Winter 2008. He was from Williamsburg, and invited me to meet him at the Blackbird Cafe. I […]
No Ifs, Ands or Butts
January 7, 2013
When Leonard messaged me on OKCupid, I thought he was a little goofy-looking for my taste, but went with the flow, and we actually ended up having a good email conversation. We even discovered that we had a friend in common, so of course, I asked her about him. She said he was a little […]
Wet Dreams
November 21, 2012
This story is from Laura, a 24-year-old vet student in Los Angeles, as told to Raz: I guess it all started sophomore year of college. It was required that I take a philosophy course (which had nothing to do with my Veterinary Medicine major, but whatever). The class was small and uncomfortable. I happened to […]
Law and Disorder
October 24, 2012
One Saturday night, my friend Fiona invited me to a party hosted by her friend Sara. Though I didn’t know anyone there, and had only met Sara a couple times, I assumed there would be plenty of eligible bachelors. (Sara had recently started law school. Cha ching!) Fiona and I showed up to the bar […]
Rules of Attraction
September 21, 2012
This story is from Kendall, a 23-year-old assistant fashion buyer in NYC, as told to Raz. Andrew and I were friends. And I thought I was fine with that. One night, we were talking and joking about past relationships, and I was honestly shocked how jealous I got when he told me he was going […]
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!
