A new app is promising single people“real-world and social proof” that they’re in a relationship, even if they’re not.

The “Invisible Boyfriend” and “Invisible Girlfriend” apps will text back, leave voicemails, and even send a handwritten note to users.

Creators say it helps alleviate the pressures of being in a relationship.

Users can even choose a name, age, picture, and personality for their “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”.

It will cost you though – having a fake significant other on this app will run you $24.99 per month.
