You can stop looking, we’ve found it. This is officially the world’s saddest product or service.
$25 doesn’t buy you much these days…
A cheap pair of shoes that will fall apart within a week? Maybe. A Barbie doll for your kid’s birthday? Well, not the fancy one with rollerblades. A small popcorn and coke at the movies? Hahaha, not likely. That’s at least going to cost you a pineapple.
“I stumbled upon a delightful new sexual option: the Overnight Boyfriend.”
But what $25 can now buy you is: Ten voice mail messages, 100 texts, a photo, a handwritten note and a love story that’s more socially acceptable than ‘we met while attending a scrapbooking course for divorced parents’.
That’s right, $25 can buy you a totally objectively legitimate pretend boyfriend.

Let us explain…
Matthew Homann is an entrepreneur who won a start up competition in the US a couple of years ago, with the idea that he would bring pretend girlfriends and boyfriends to the masses. After ending his marriage, Homann grew tired of his pushy family asking him when he was going to find someone new – so he decided to make someone up and wanted to help other put upon men and women do the same.
ROSIE: “I need to be able to fart in front of my boyfriend.”
But as any of us who have ever told our mothers to back off know, saying you have a girlfriend/boyfriend who your friends and family never get to meet, is not going to be enough. If you want to carry off a fake relationship lie then you have to commit to that lie. You have to be able to convince the outside world with evidence; social, real time evidence.

George Glass is my boyfriends name 😉
I think its very sweet. I think not so much as a way to fool others, but more as a way to keep one's own spirits up when going through a bad patch, it really would be quite nice.... Actually texting yourself love notes would probably work just as well :)
