Buying imaginary girlfriends (and, less frequently, boyfriends) is the latest fad on eBay. What happens is that if you're the winning bidder, the person you bid for will pretend to be going out with you for a set period of time, such as a month. This imaginary relationship will be limited to emails and letters... you won't ever meet your eBay lover in person. But by showing off the communications from your new girlfriend, you might be able to convince your friends that you aren't quite the antisocial loser they thought you were. That is, until they find out that you paid for an imaginary friend, at which point they'll think you're an even bigger loser than they thought before.

For $50, you can take a real female to a real dinner and possibly squeeze in a real movie as well.
For $200, you can make that a stellar resturant and turn the "movie" into opera tickets. If said female doesn't drop trou at that point, you have serious personality issues.
So is this for the truly desperate, or what?
