Ok no one ever talks about these.  But I once was in a willing fake relationship with a gay guy.  He was the brother to my friend's fiancee.  He knew his brother was anti-gay and his brother also had a violent history.  So frankly he was scared for his life.  Now this guy had loads of friends that were girls and could of chosen any of them.  The thing is we got along so well and I was always over his house that he asked me to be his fake girlfriend.  I had no boyfriend and frankly yes I do read gay manga (not using real term so people don't search it).  So I thought it would be cool to have a gay boyfriend.  Plus he had his own garage rock band and he was a transvestite which was strangely a plus.  So for 2 years we had a great fake relationship.  I wasn't being used I did get some action too (hugging and kissing and presents).   I had to move across country to where my step mom lived so we had a stage break up and everything ended nicely.  Those were the best two years of my life.

So question is has anyone had this happen?  Or am I truly strange and demented for doing that?

I was someone's fake boyfriend for a night or two back when I was in high school.

They needed a guy who could wow their parents or whatever, and for whatever reason she chose me and I helped her out.

We got to avoid the kissing part, because she wanted to save her first kiss for a guy she was actually with, and I hadn't yet had mine either. So we mutually decided a hug would be all.

I did get a good meal out of it though, and she slipped me a 20 the next day.

Pretty good deal for a night of my time.

Almost. My friend (who I incidentally was infatuated with at the time) wanted this guy who had a crush on her to leave her alone so she was going to say that I was her boyfriend. It never got that bothersome so it didn't come to that.

Yes. Right after one of my break-ups with my last boyfriend, another friend of mine kept trying to ask me out and I just was not interested, so I convinced my ex to say we'd gotten back together so the guy would back off. We actually did end up back together shortly after.

I had a relationship with a gay guy too, only he was still in the closet at the time (not very well, I might add... he claimed to be bi). We didn't consider it fake though, but in many ways it was... but it was a nice year of my life.

Elara :    Is it me or gay guys make the best fake boyfriends a girl could ask for?  It seems you also had a good time with a fake gay boyfriend.

Never had it happen. I have heard about it but very rarely even that. I am glad that you could do that for a friend because that is really cool. I don't know what too say, I have just never heard that.

Not really to be honest, as I never lucked out with a real one nor have anyone come to me requiring my assistance for one. I also never really needed to use a fake one personally...though it is rather coincidental I am reading through my book of quotations right about now, as one seems to fit.

What i'm getting at there is that it is curious how these fake relationships starts sometimes, and how some may grow genuine...

But to answer the question, no I never been in one and I never seen one played out for quite the same reasons as to help a friend...the only ones I do recall seeing were mainly to impress someone else briefly.

RequiemHaunt : Yeah, though yours sounds a bit more fun. Mine worked for Disneyland at the time so they owned his soul and I didn't see him much.

I've never had a fake relationship... yet.

Elara :

Would a gay guy still make a good boyfriend if that guy was deliberately faking the relationship to get the girl to stop stalking his friend? I posted the full story in another thread, but it kinda fits in here too.

Like I said there, I think it wouldn't be that good of an idea. Because she is focusing on your friend, it would be really dangerous if she ever discovered that you were gay, and that you were misleading her on purpose.

BNuge : If she doesn't know that you are faking it and she really does love you this will ruin your friendship for good.  You should talk to her about it and be more open.  My relationship was mutual.  We knew it was not a real relationship but your friend doesn't.

Can't say I have. The closest I ever had was clearly faking as far as people who knew us. Fred Phelps (the infamous gay basher and military funeral protester) came to my hometown for the second time. The first time was to protest my friends funeral. That ticked me off enough. The second time, a friend of mine and I decided to walk up to that crowd dressed very flamboyant, holding hands, and kept 'bumping' the guy protesters. We actually were able to get up to Fred Phelps himself. We said we were going to go make out and he should join us, and my friend grabbed his butt and squeezed it. Then we ran off to avoid police. That was it though. We weren't seriously faking a relationship. Just for them.

RequiemHaunt :

To be fair, we're not friends. I don't know a thing about her except that she is harassing my friend. At the end of the day, my loyalty is to him. If she causes trouble for him, then my goal is for her to go away, one way or another (as long as it's legal).

I hope the person that I am about to talk to is not on and will recognize this incident but one time I was in a fake relationship with a girl who couldn't decide whether or not she wanted me. Every time someone new and better came along she would go to him. Finally she just broke up with me. Something happened along the way that caused her to break up with me but I am only telling if you pm me, or add me to your friend list. Whichever one you think of doing is okay!!!!!! lol I only have one friend on this site

I've never been in one, but I liked reading the story in your first post. That sounds really fun & cute. I think I would also do that if I had a gay friend who needed help, if I didn't already have a boyfriend that is.

I haven't personally been in one, but a couple of my friends are faking out a stalker that won't leave the girl alone. When she ran out of ways to tell him she didn't like him and didn't want to talk to him anymore she and the other guy that I know decided they would tell the stalker they were dating each other. Normally they're almost like siblings and they only keep the ruse up when he's around or when they're feeling particularly hammy, so it's kinda funny to watch XD.

I'd understand why he'd wanna be in a fake relationship. You always hear about homosexuals getting bullied to death. It's sad. Just today, no lie, I found a suicide note in the bathroom... I went and told a teacher right away.

Good for you, hope you were able to save that kids life in time.  You did the right thing about bringing the situation to the propper athoraties.  It's hard to know what to do in those situations, I've been there before.

RequiemHaunt : I know. It was a hard situation. It took me a while to think about what to do. I sure hope it was only a joke.
