The Age of “Reason”
This story is from Kate, a 24-year-old merchandising assistant in NYC, as told to Raz: As a generalization, I’m really awkward with guys. This, however, was not a case of awkwardness or misunderstanding—this guy was just a little bit crazy. In college, Jonah worked at the dining hall. We’d been introduced at a party, but […]

This story if from Roxie, a 22-year-old grad student in Boston, as told to Raz: Andrew and I had gone out a few times, but hadn’t slept together yet. On Halloween, he invited me to a party his friends were having at a bar. I wore a little black dress, a Cat Woman mask and […]
The Guys Who Loved Me

This story is from Lilian, a 24-year-old legal assistant from Boston, as told to Raz: One Saturday night, my roommate Christina decided that we should have a party.

Bad Reputation

This story is from Karen, a 45-year-old author living in Chicago, as told to Raz: I met Bruno at a friend’s party. He approached me, and we hit it off right away. Honestly, everything he said made me think it was meant to be. He was a doctor and his office just happened to be […]
Pirate’s Booty

This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist from NYC, as told to Raz: Ah, summer is here again. And that reminds me of last summer—specifically, of Pirate Con.

This Old Man
May 12, 2012
This story is from Lauren, a 48-year-old lawyer from Chicago, as told to Raz: After my divorce, it seemed that every one of my friends had someone “perfect for me” that they just needed to set me up with. The problem was, these bachelors were almost always at least 15 years my senior. “Get used […]

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!
