Give Us Your Best Dating Horror Stories
We know you have one (or a thousand). Submit yours for a chance to win a prize
By Lauren Mang January 20, 2016
Dating is fun, right? Or is it a depressing sequence of nightmarish encounters with guys named Brad or Jeremy who still live with their parents or gals named Lauren who don’t know what a verb is? (I’m assuming it’s the latter.)
Valentine’s Day is coming and that means it’s high time we take a closer look at the state of the dating world in Seattle, starting with your stories. To enter, simply email your best/juiciest/craziest/horror-iest dating story to lauren.mang@tigeroak.com and we’ll be compiling and sharing the best of them—all anonymously, of course—throughout the next few weeks on seattlemag.com.
Whoever shares the (best) worst story, which will be decided by our panel of Seattle magazine staffers, will win a prize (still TBD, but I’m told it will most likely be a gift card to a local restaurant).
The winner will be decided on Monday, January 25. Good luck.
This is part one of our Dating in Seattle series. Look for part two in the coming weeks.

Chit-Chat Kids
Phone a friend.
Twenty years ago, before everyone walked around with a device in their pocket, kids used to call each other on a landline—often tethered to the kitchen in their home. It was a simpler time, when parents didn’t have to worry (nearly as much) about a potential predator contacting their child. Nowadays, things are different, which…
A Plate for Pickleball
The design celebrates the state’s official sport. Additional plates are on the way.

In the works for three years, it’s the second of seven specialty plates to hit the market since getting approved by lawmakers earlier this year. “We’re thrilled to see our efforts become reality,” says Kate Van Gent, vice president of…
Seattle-Based Agency Brings Real Voices to NBC’s New Campaign
DNA&STONE built the project around candid conversations to understand what audiences want from reporting.
“I turned off news altogether. I want to be able to form my own opinions. Just tell the truth.” These lines open NBC News’ new national campaign, a 60-second ad that drifts over forests, farms, neighborhoods, and cityscapes while Americans talk about how worn out they feel by the news. The landscape carries the conversation…
