Invisible boy/girlfriend

This is the creepiest thing I've read in some time. What. The. Hell.

I am... incredibly envious that I didn't think of that business concept first.

I suppose it's a way to monetize roleplaying.

Less creepy and more expected. People have been deceiving friends and family regarding their relationships and whether they have them for years.I once dated a girl for a while who, when we met, told me she had a boyfriend that she lived with, etc. Eventually, our relationship grew and I realized that that "boyfriend" had somehow vanished into the ether, faded into the background, gone. He had never existed, but I had fallen in love and was a bit in a haze (and pretty young at the time), so it had taken me time to notice.
It was only a matter of time before they marketed it.

Come on, you don't think a large part of their client base doesn't ever intend to show these messages to anyone else?
I'd be willing to bet there are a lot of lonely people out there subscribing to this service. Hell, or its sexting equivalents.
... Damn, we need to pull our best TSers from these forums and form a sexting corporation. Finally, a niche for such skills! All those years roleplaying hot and steamy but dysfunctional relationships over text are about to pay off.

What happened to the tried and true 'Canadian' boyfriend?!

The sexting equivalents have been around since texting became a thing, dude. In fact, before, when online chatting was getting its start.

@Coin Dammit, then my dreams of becoming rich (but hopefully not famous) through my elite TSing skills are crushed.
Back to the 9-5.

im surprised they don't provide 'fake' facebook pages to link your relationship to and other such social networking gimicks.

Pfff, the Office Kid kit is at least useful.

Please, there are 'cuddle' businesses out there.

I smell Premium Package! Your invisible boyfriend will also like all your posts and post cute comments on selfies.

And if you ever get jealous of a person who has an invisible boyfriend, you could always just mail glitter to them (Uh, probably not Safe for Work)
