What does it matter what they think? In the end it changes nothing, being perpetually single with a family that remains in hope is no different than being perpetually single with a family that no longer gives a toss.

Wouldn't making up an imaginary girlfriend to convince your family or friends you have one when you really don't also cause some chronic stress.
It gets easier with practice. :mrgreen:

Indeed! I fabricate past relationships to all new people I meet. The reason for that is looking normal.

I got very good at that fabrication. I got the details down cold! Everything: date we met, date we became official, date we broke up, what kind of outings we had, what we liked to do, if the sex was good (generic descriptor only), what fights we had, and the cause of breakup. I also got all my friends in on the act, and they agreed to lie for me, if need be. So when I meet new people, platonic or romantic, who may ask me about my past relationships, I know exactly what to tell them and have people who will back me up.

Luckily, I don't have to fabricate my most recent relationship (2011 -- 2013), except, maybe, lying about its start and end dates, to make it look longer. Everything else happened for real, and it was horrible! As for my other relationships, their fabrications are based on whatever failed short-term relationships I did have and the escorts I sexed.

I don't think you should ever ask anyone about their plans to have children. It can be a very painful question for those who want a child but are unable to have one. Maybe they have problems concieving, miscarriages, etc.

Mine never bring it up. I am pretty sure they know they have a better chance of hitting the lottery twice in one day than me getting a girlfriend.
