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 […]
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 […]
Serendipity
August 27, 2012
There are some relationships that are just fated to happen. And no matter how many times you miss the signs, the universe will put you together again. That’s what I thought was happening with Dylan. We met for the first time on JDate, chatted for a while, and things were going well. He wasn’t really […]
The Way U Text Me
August 8, 2012
This story is from Christina, a 25-year-old dance teacher in Boston, as told to Raz: I met Dave at Border Cafe. We hit it off, and I gave him my number. He asked me out shortly after to meet up for drinks at Cambridge Common. He seemed cute, and I’m up for anything, so I […]
Not Your Average Joe
June 13, 2012
The subject of my next story is super famous, so in the interest of protecting his identity, we’ll just call him Joe Shmo. I met Joe online, and, though he wasn’t my type physically (he was a little chubby and goofy looking), his emails were sweet and funny and seemingly sincere. After a few messages […]
Nicks at Night
June 1, 2012
This story is from Rebecca, a 25-year-old journalist in NYC, as told to Raz: After my last breakup, I went through kind of a strange phase. Basically, I became something of a make out whore. I wasn’t emotionally ready to go on real dates, have sex or form any remotely substantial relationship with someone new, […]
Have We Met?
February 9, 2012
Tom and I met at Libation, a bar on the lower east side. It was 3am. It was dark. I was drunk. The next day he texted me asking how the rest of my night was. We continued to have short, meaningless text conversations for weeks. Yes, weeks… that turned into months. When I received […]
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!
