Do you want to spite an ex-girlfriend? Are you tired of the parental “are you seeing anyone yet?” Are you gay and want people to think otherwise? Then an eBay imaginary girlfriend may be the answer for you.
For the right price, you secure the right for a female to send you her picture and a series of weekly romantic letters, typically for one month. At the end of the alloted time, you “break up” with your “girlfriend” and go your separate ways.
When bidding for an imaginary girlfriend, the old adage caveat emptor applies, so read the auction descriptions carefully. You might be bidding on the “original imaginary girlfriend” or on one of many cheap knockoffs (though some look pretty good). You might even end up with a guy. Heaven knows, you certainly don’t want to end up with a low-grade fake girlfriend.
Happy bidding.
