Valentine’s Day can be a beautiful experience when you’re a couple dedicated to the day and the idea of out-gifting each other.
Being single on Valentine’s Day is a whole different story. You can throw a party for all your single friends; go for dinner or on a pub-crawl with your single best friend. Or, you can binge-eat while watching Girls to death in your room.
In case you have run out of creative ideas for this year’s single Valentine’s, consider getting yourself an (invisible) boyfriend or girlfriend. For a relatively small fee in comparison to flowers, chocolate and that restaurant dinner, you can still binge-eat in the confines of your room, while your friends and family think you are busy romancing your partner.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the Invisible Girlfriend and Invisible Boyfriend apps have launched to add credibility to the lies you might be planning to tell your friends and family. You will receive instant responses to your texts to your fictional partner; can share photos with each other and brag about your successful ‘long-distance’ relationship. In addition to all of this, you shape your invisible partner’s appearance, hobbies and career.
Interestingly, anyone using the service agrees to acknowledge that his or her Invisible Partner is fictional, quite the warning sign. If this is you, don’t go too crazy on your lies. There might be someone who is secretly counting down the days until you are officially single again.
What would you rather do? Be single or stay in a fake relationship and that way, miss out on all the potential partners that you cross paths with?
