I'm a 21 year-old graduate student. I've been in several serious relationships and consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable on the subject. I've also had a difficult family situation and can sympathize with relative induced drama/trauma. I really enjoy people and like to problem-solve. If I weren't in my chosen field (politics/law), I would have probably pursued psychology.

To put it simply, I have a fake boyfriend. His name is "Nick." The reason I did this is because all my friends have boyfriends, and I really want one too. Problem is, there are no guys I am even slightly attracted to where I live. So "Nick" has been pretty great for me. I get to brag about him and everything, but I'm still lonely.
Reccently, I started talking over Instant Messenger with this guy, we'll call him Cameron. Cameron lives in South America but is pretty much fluent in English. We talk almost every day, he's so cute, and he actually seems like he cares about me. I know I will probably never meet Cameron, so don't tell me that. I already know.
I'm just so upset that every guy I'm interested in lives so far away. And here, I know everyone at my school, and I'm not interested in any of the guys here. Yet I want a boyfriend so badly, which is why I have a fake one.
What should I do? Should I "break up" with my fake boyfriend? Should I stay with my fake boyfriend even when I am talking to Cameron? Or should I try to look harder for a guy here when school starts back up again?
And don't tell me that being single is okay. Because for me right now, it's not. And also do not tell me that I will "find someone eventually."

I completely agree that you should "break up" with your fake boyfriend. A fake boyfriend is in no way similiar to a real boyfriend. There's no real point in continuing to lie to your friends, and real guys will be scared away by your fictional perfect man.
I see no harm in having an online realationship with Cameron. The only thing you need to realize here is that since you'll be so far apart you should both be free to see other people if the opportunity arises. His companionship should keep you company until an available close-to-home guy enters your life. And hey, when that does happen, won't you be glad you're available?
