yes imo

what could go wrong??

let's start making up a perfect girlfriend 4 u

NAME: Halldóra Valora Sigurđsson

BACKGROUND: Her family is from iceland but moved to america or wherever u are when she was born. Her father is a veterinarian and fluent in Esperanto and is very internationalist, thus her strange name. Her mother is a financial advisor and very conservative. Fun fact, her grandfather served in the french foreign legion during ww2!

ABOUT HER: Halldóra's personality type is ISFP, very creative and outside the box. Her passion is painting but she also loves to write songs and play around with craft noodles. She loves both dogs and cats and goes for long walks in the forest just to take in nature. She is into heavy metal and hardcore punk despite her soft outer appearance and she secretly posts on really weird objectivist forums. She has one tattoo of a swastika on her upper back that she got from her stint in prison following a rather brutal assault, but thankfully she got off relatively light! She is asexual and is prone to frequent yeast infections. Her eyes are stunning though and more than make up for her cleft lip.

If you want to know more about Halldóra just ask op :-) Good luck!

Are your parents like, going to write you out of their will or something if you don't have romantic prospects? Is there some unreasonable expectation on you to be involved with someone for their gratification?

I don't think you should enter into any relationship just for your parents benefit so I can't honestly advise you to just go date on their demands. That's insulting to your potential partner and yourself! You should enter relationships on your own free will.

So... Sounds like it's time for a caper! So, I would never do this as my parent is a very reasonable guy who doesn't bug me for personal details about my life that much. But you could, I guess, hire an escort service and go on a date. Have a nice night out, and talk to them about your situation. It's possible they would be okay with pretending to be your girlfriend for money with your parents if the need came up! You may have to go through a few. So, get the details you need, and then you could lie to them about it and provide a lot of information. And if they visit and demand to meet them, you could set it up.

This sort of thing sounds awful but it has been done by people trying to avoid the bigotry of their parents quite a few times. It's super dishonest for sure, but hey, if you know they are not going to change why bother with dealing with the consequences.

Overall this is a disaster though, and would cost you hundreds of dollars so I would recommend not doing it unless you stand to gain a lot more and honestly hate your parents. A more practical solution is just to demand they stop prying for personal details on your life and establish firm emotional boundaries with them. It might generate some distance for a while, but after it they'd be happy to hear whatever it is you want to say to them when you talk, rather than press you or try to control your life and risk distancing you again.

I would recommend not lying at all though, in general, and especially not if you do not have a person that can and is willing to back it up, since it's pretty likely they will eventually press you to prove that you are in a relationship if they are hassling you about it all the time. It could even be a friend just willing to help you out, but that is kind of an awkward situation, especially if that friend has a facebook and starts getting inquiries about it (they should use a fake name).

I lied to my first wife about having a girlfriend. Reviews were mixed.

devil on my left shoulder: yes, you should definitely lie to your parents about having a girlfriend, and please post about it here, in detail

angel on my right shoulder: tell them she's a cute Latina from the taqueria


thank you PSP for the beautiful spring sig

Say yes, and when they ask what she's like, describe your mother in exacting detail.

No, don't lie. Tell them that someday you will find a nice girl to be miserable with. Also tell them they will never have grandchildren.

Piso Mojado

tell them you have a couple girls, so your parents know ur a playa

Yes, also tell them to wire some money so you can keep her on retainer.

No.

You should lie and tell them you're gay. That will get them to stop hounding you.

I mean, unless you actually are gay, which would explain the girlfriend issue.

My parents secretly think I'm gay because I'm still single.

But they stopped asking me about getting a girlfriend so I haven't bothered trying to convince them otherwise.

I think it's fair for parents to start asking after a certain age. Reproductive success is when you have grandchildren after all

Apparently I'm #1 Kotori fan


thank you matoi and vanisher for the sigs, lovely dad for the cool av

Hey baby I think we Havel lot in common
OP it is not clear. What is the reason for your question? Can't answer without full disclosure. Are you gay, single, or do you have a girlfriend but she is really an awful person?

The lifeguard of sexual selection has removed the OP from the gene pool, and who are we to question it.Tell your parents you have superpowers, op. If they can believe that you might get a girlfriend, they'll believe anything. :yayclod:

Facetime your mother, and when she asks if you're seeing someone, here's what you do:

1) Start crying. I mean, unstoppably, for at least a full two minutes without saying anything.
2) When she cuts in to try and say something, interrupt her by yelling "WHO WOULD LOVE SOMEONE WHO'S INTO THIS?!
3) Flip phone to point camera at MLP/Azumanga crossover porn

Then ask if she can wire you some money

You could do the whole invisible girlfriend thing, invite your parents to dinner with her and ladle spoonfuls of soup onto the empty chair next to you while having a one sided conversation with her about her high stress job, giggling and explaining to your parents that it's cute to feed each other sometimes

Senior Management



or if you are going to dinner with your parents and fake girlfriend, you can save a lot of effort by paying the taco people to bring you a note saying she is leaving you for Dave from accounting and that is a shame because you two were great together. Then if you are lucky your parents will feel bad for you and pay for the food and you have an excuse not to make eye contact.

Tell them you fell in love with another man on the dirt bike track.
