Law and Disorder
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 […]
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 […]
Just Don’t Do It
October 5, 2012
This story is from Kate, a 25-year-old (happy birthday, Kate!) merchandising assistant in NYC, as told to Raz: It was a Saturday night, and I went out for an old friend’s birthday party. It was a little awkward because her roommate Lara and I were kind of on the outs. Regardless, I showed up to […]
Sexual Dysfunction
July 20, 2012
This story if from Roxie, a 22-year-old grad student in Boston, as told to Raz: I have a confession to make: I didn’t stop seeing Johnny after this happened. Yeah, yeah, he was a player with really, really gross things under his bed, but I mentioned the really awesome sex right? Anyway, a couple weeks […]
What Lies Beneath
July 13, 2012
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 […]
The Break Up
June 15, 2012
Here’s a little tale that I’m still bitter about even though it went down a couple years back: My friend Laura invited me to come along to a party at her friend Jordan’s house. The second Jordan opened the door, I was attracted. Then he introduced me to his girlfriend, Sammi. Bummer. Sammi and Laura […]
The Case of the Kissing Girl
June 8, 2012
This tale is one of voyeurism. I, Raz, witnessed a stranger’s awkward experience with a man and decided to share. This was also an awkward experience for me. Here’s why: For being the biggest city in the US, NYC is mighty small. OK, I’ve already written about spotting Dave multiple times on the street here. […]
Never Let Your Ex-Boyfriend Set You Up
May 24, 2012
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 […]
Three’s A Crowd
April 14, 2012
This story is from Jen, a 24-year-old journalist living in NYC, as told to Raz: Pat and I had been dating for a little over a month. He was funny and smart (an engineer), and when he invited me to a housewarming party at his new apartment, I was excited. This was my first chance […]
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!
