Life is filled with horrible social obligations: forced conversations, stilted smalltalk and uncomfortable appearances. A girlfriend is the ultimate excuse.
“I’m sorry, can’t make it, it’s my anniversary with __________.”
“Hey I’d love to stop by, but ______________.”
“Ah, crap! I’m actually busy that night, __________ just called and we’ve got dinner plans.”
Etc.
As Runnin’ Scared’s Jen Doll explains, FakeGirlfriend.co provides that service. Sure, maybe it’s aimed at people who are genuinely lonely and are getting off on fake messages like these:
“I miss you, honey. xoxo. (:”,
“When are you going to come see me?!?! I miss you! :0)”,
“I’m lonely ;) ;) hehehe”,
“Why don’t you leave the boys and come hang out with me?”,
“I wish I was with you!!! (0:”,
“I just need someone to talk to… Call me?”,
“Thanks so much for the pics ;) I’ll send some soon (:”,
“I <3 you. xoxoxoxo. <3 <3 <3 <3",
“Oh hai! (0:”,
“THANKS FOR THE FLOWERS!!!”
But I see FakeGirlfriend as a utility. The ultimate excuse. The social eject button. Women often put rings on their fingers as an excuse to avoid skeezy guys — now we can use a fabricated text from a significant other to get the hell outta there, wherever there is. And don’t worry, a FakeBoyfriend is on the way, says the site’s creator, Ricky Robinett. Equal opportunity artifice.

If you turn down your friends invitations using the girlfriend excuse then they’ll actually want to meet her and if you never bring her with you when you do go out with them they’ll think your girlfriend is a blow-up doll.

Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 12:27 PMJust tell everyone she is super morbidly obese, or scared to leave the house and talk to strangers and you will be fine. Hell your already lying, tell them she is a former Russian spy and is still in hiding, that you would love for them to meat her but first they have to fill out the appropriate forms and then wait for clearance from Moscow.
problem solved.

Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 3:41 PMOh ok, so it’s not a fake girlfriend service it’s a fake 13 year old girl service. I sincerely hope no one past puberty would ever send a message like those listed.
