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."

Yeeeah.
The whole fake boyfriend thing should end now. Why? Because it really won't work out in the end. Say someone you DO end up liking comes up, and he hears you have a boyfriend. He'll shy away from you, even though your boyfriend is fake. Also, pertaining to Cameron, I know that usually long distant relationships don't work out but I guess if you really wanted it to work, it could. I've seen it happen, and if you REALLY like him, then I think you should go for it. But yeah, break up with the fake kid. As for you not wanting to be single anymore, you can't just find someone and decide that you want to be in a relationship with them because you might scare them off & they might not feel the same way. So, rushing things isn't good. Just really look & wait until someone you're really interested in comes along.
