For a fun time (and a fake girlfriend), text this number
By Rosa Golijan
“This service is called FakeGirlfriend.co — no, there really isn’t supposed to be an “m” after the “co” — and it’ll provide you with a fake girlfriend who’ll send text messages and even call you.”

Ok, guys. If you’re using this service for any reason, that reason, right there, is why you don’t have a real girlfriend.

In the spirit of fake girlfriends, check out this commercial. But I have to warn you. If you keep clicking on the videos, they start to get a bit racy.
What do you think of the Fake Girlfriend service?
All the best to all of you for a week of keeping it real.

Fake Girlfriend – somehow I think that could really catch on. I thought of the token geeky guy from every high school movie ever made, lol. And the bear video was so cute. The guy filming was kind of an idiot, but still, those cubs were adorable:)
Oh, they were adorable, weren’t they? I can totally understand the urge to cuddle them, but not enough to actually do it. Thanks for stopping by, Stacy.
MUST–GO-DO-WRITING….You are EVIL, I tells ya, EVIL! Book marking for later enjoyment. *s*
Lol. I so totally understand. Thanks for stopping by, Amy.
Wow, thanks for the linky-love! About that Fake Girlfriend…she wants a REAL diamond engagement ring, and you have to meet her mother…board. *groan*
Couldn’t resist. Off to check those cool links you’ve put up. Thanks, Piper!
Lmao. Love it, Kathy. So true about those fake girlfriends. Thanks for stopping by.
How do I follow Kathy and her guffaws?? Motherboard, indeed. Thanks for guest posting on Writers In The Storm today, Piper! There’s a Versatile Blogger award waiting for you over at More Cowbell as well.
Aww. Cool! Thank you. Much appreciated, Jenny, and it was my honor to contribute to Writers in the Storm. You folks do good work. Thanks for stopping by.
That video was hysterical. I loved it when she caught him. What a dork. I’d like to have a fake friend to call me when I want an excuse to leave parties and boring conversations. LOL
That could be helpful, but then again, that’s what real friends are for.
Thanks for stopping by, Catie.
Hi Piper.
Really funny stuff. I’ve just blocked fakegirlfriend from our browser in case my wife signs me up for it for laugh. In fact … who could I sign up …
Have a good weekend
Cheers!
Lol. It would be something of a prank, wouldn’t it? Sounds like something college kids would do at a frat party. If someone is drinking too much, slip their phone from them, key in the number with a girl’s name, and then tell them the next day they got the girl’s number, and she was a knockout. Totally into him. . . . You know, I just got a story idea.
Lol. Thanks for stopping by, Nigel.
haha! yoiks. Texting for antisocial people who want to appear social.
Lol. I know. Anything wrong with this picture? Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
This is what I needed after my week. Thanks for the laughs!
You bet, Leanne. Thanks for stopping by.
For enough cash I’ll pretend to be a super model and text them some very spicy barely legal messages. Cash up front please. If they require more than a text they will need to put the remote down and go find a real live female.
Lmao. You’re a hoot.
The fake girlfriend reminds me of when Opus from the Bloom COunty comic would call the fake mom number- too funny. Great comercial.
Lol. I had forgotten about the fake mom, but you’re right. It does sort of smack of that. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks Piper! That fake girlfriend service is hilarious but your line about the guys who use it is the best!
Glad you enjoyed it, Clay. Thanks for stopping by.
Oh. My. Heck.
Fake girlfriends? Some poor slob is actually using that service right now as I type. You know what they say, a fool and his money…
Snoring? That was the best he could come up with? That guy needs a fake girlfriend. Oh, wait, he’s already got one!
Super fab post, Piper.
Thanks, Tameri. I appreciate you stopping by.

Why not? That’s all I can say…
I wonder how many young men use this service when they are having lunch with their mothers. You know. The mothers who are nagging them to get married and give them grandchildren.
