Faking a girlfriend.

Well in my life I had one girlfriend, when I was 25-26 years old and it lasted just under a year..It was semi serious and me never having a gf before till then I wanted to do everything with her and bring her into as much as my life as possible, so she always hung out with me and my friends, and also had many outings with my parents and other family. She dumped me for another guy after discovering I wouldn't let her leech off of me easily. Though she still did suck out maybe a few thousand dollars. Anyways she had a nice sweet personality very childish what I call princess disease, and because she was so sweet and childish everyone liked her. Now it's been almost 2 years since she dumped me and my mom still wont stop mentioning her every now and then and even then sometimes my friends mention her. Its my fault for allowing her to be so much apart of my life.. Since then I have had no success with girls I like. I'm very picky and since I was dumped I became even more picky..and I'm very unphotogenic so online dating doesn't work out for me.. So I'm considering asking one of my friends to be a fake girlfriend in front of my parents and friends so they can stop mentioning my ex. Thoughts?

Just focus on life. Honestly, if you want a quick thing, you go to a bar. Just do the things that make you happy, hobies and friends. In time, you'll more than likely attract what you want. Never close both your eyes, just try not to focus on it. Also, why not let people know how much it bothers you when they bring up for ex?

I do, my dad knows and tells my mom to stop it, but my mom doesn't stop. As for my friends they know not to mention her but they also think that I shouldn't let being dumped control my life so treating her as she never existed is not getting over her so they should still be able to be her friend and talk about her every now and then. They aren't the greatest friends.. Also I'm not trying to look for a fling or something to solve lonliness, I'm just mainly trying to get my mom to shut up about my ex. So if I bring another girl home, maybe she will start talking about that girl instead. I don't really wanna wait another year or so till I find that perfect someone.

Hey, don't focus on that "perfect someone", for all you know you've already met her. Perfection is a funny thing in that it's never perfect. It sounds like you still need to heal. Your friends and family just need to respect your wishes. It's no problem if your friends are still friends with her, but you just need to get over the feelings you get when they talk about her. It's one thing if they specifically mention her in the context of what you both had, but if they talk about her in the friend sense, you're just gonna have to learn to deal or leave your friends.

^Lol same here. ANYWAYS, dont fake a girlfriend. If you do you wont be motivated to go find yourself a real one >:O!

haha i create a fake fb page and put some random ass chicks name and picture on it andd be like hey its my girlfriend i keep her in the closet lol

I heard there's a site that makes a fake gf for you? But I'd say its probably a bad idea, my friend made a fake-bf to make a boy Jelouse, and when the truth cam out she was mortofied.

I wouldn't. I don't think faking a girlfriend will actually solve your problem so much as postpone it and probably making it worse later. In my experience, those kinds of things just never work out as tidily as we hope they will. I'd probably just have a serious talk with my mom about how her behavior is making you feel and that if she doesn't stop, you're gonna have to take measures to distance yourself
