Auction Gives New Meaning to Online Dating

Forget online dating. Why not just buy a virtual girlfriend on eBay (search) instead?

One enterprising college student decided to create just such an auction for an "Imaginary Online Girlfriend," (search) in which she pretended to be the highest bidder's long-distance love for a month. The auction quickly became legendary on eBay, creating such a buzz that it got 16,000 hits in a matter of days and spawned a host of copycats.

"Are you tired of your friends/parents hounding you about not having a girlfriend??" the virtual girlfriend, Judy, wrote on eBay. "Or do you have an ex that you want to make jealous?? Then this is the auction for you! I am willing to become your 'imaginary' girlfriend ... I will write you one letter a week and include pictures, cards, whatever ? so you can get everyone off your back because you are in a 'long distance relationship.'"

Judy, a 22-year-old college junior in Wichita Falls, Texas, said she posted the item on eBay mostly for fun.

"I did it totally on a whim. It was just a late-night idea and I was seeing how it went over," she said in a phone interview. She asked that her last name not be used.

In her ad, Judy even suggested that the lucky winner "break up" with her, and she promised to write a final letter begging him to take her back.

"When the month is up ? just think up a crazy story and dump me ? should be great fun!" she wrote online.
