    Do you know any?

    I know a guy who claims to be in ltr with a woman who we have yet to meet as his oh. This girl exists alright, but lives in another country atm. It's as if he believes he is in a relationship with someone who he was with casually before she left but I'm not sure they ever really had anything serious to begin with.

    I'm sure there are worse examples, so be nice and share them with AH so we can all laugh together at other people's misfortune and make ourselves feel better because it's raining out.

    I knew a girl years ago who made her own Valentines Day cards.

    I don't think I have come across the above though.

    Mines not imaginary - she takes up half the bed when shes inflated.

    Only the other day I was.in work when a guy asked me to go for a drink with him..

    I smile at people in my job, I try to help them, it's my job!

    But he kept asking, I told him my husband wouldn't like it at all at all!

    I don't even have a boyfriend, let alone a husband! So I imagined one up to save myself from the strange stalker like man.

    When I was around 19 I knew a few people that said they had a "girlfriend" - when it was obvious they didnt. Of course we were all naive and stupid back then. So you can forgive it :p

    But if a mature man or woman did the same? That would be really sad. I know some people say it because they dont wanna come off as someone who cant get anyone. I totally get it. But its cringe worthy when it's obviously BS.

    then you could just tell him you were gay and it would be true. It's a win win situation.

    She does exist, she is not imaginary.
    Is it not possible he is in a relationship with her?

    What business is it of anybody elses? There was a good movie about this kind of thing a while ago called Lars and the Real Girl.

    Ah, right. We know it's not any of our business, we're just being arseholes for the sake of being arseholes. My mistake.

    I think he's more in the relationship than she is really. It's a kind of imaginary relationship and it's easy to keep up the pretence as she's not here to defend it.
    He seems to use it as an excuse a lot though. (like at events with a lot of +1s for why he's alone)

    I kept asking to get a drink for me, not go for a drink with me :mad:

    Now get me a mocha and get the loyalty card stamped

    Nope, he was definitely asking me out for a drink.

    I would have imagined a girlfriend but explaining the husband was confusing enough, as his English wasn't great.

    Do people still feel the need to justify why they are single ?
    Maybe they are friends and it's you who is reading too much into it.

    I used to work in a pub and years ago there was a group of lads in on a Sunday Session. This one lad(who is a complete tool!) Was showing his phone around to the rest of the group, showing all these dirty messages this girl was sending him. Everytime his phone beeped, the phone was passed around. He was telling all the lads that they were having phone sex etc.

    Later on, he went to the toilet leaving his phone beside his pint. Needless to say, one of the lads picked up his phone(presumably to text this girl joking) and down the list of messages in his inbox from this girl was a message saying something along the lines of:
    You are now subscribed to this text service. You must be over 18. This service costs €1.00/msg or something along the lines of that.

    Needless to say he left shortly after!

    Just tell him you have AIDs. Easier.

    Mad. You had to imagine a husband, because his weeks of masturbating while imagining sexual interactions with you gave him the courage to ask you out.

    Its the circle of life.

    that's what I thought. But no..he's pretty sure he's in a relationship.

    Thing is tho you said this girl does exist, you said they casually dated before she went ive heard of people actually waiting for each other when one of them went abroad i dont think its strange that he says thats the reason why he didnt bring anyone to an event, as hes waiting for her to come back and doesnt want rumours of him being with another girl

    I was about to say fair play to the guy for asking you out foxinsox - but being that he isn't irish it's obviously commonplace in his own culture to ask people when not blinding drunk!

    I just get the impression that a lady would think you're the creepiest thing going if you asked them out in a place other than the pub/club.

    Yep. Even in the toilet when they're sitting down and relaxed, they get freaked out if you go near them at all. I blame the drink culture, meself.
