Commonly asked questions about Imaginary Boyfriend.
July 1st, 2008 by Amy BethWhen you’re dating someone named Imaginary Boyfriend, you tend to get a lot of weird stares questions about your relationship.
For example, people are always asking me what he looks like. I don’t really understand what they’re talking about. I mean, I know I’ve posted this picture of him before:
He is soooooo cute.
People also want to know what we talk about, which is kind of a funny question to me. I mean, we talk about all the usual things that other couples discuss — where we want to go on Saturday night, how work is going, what Shamu was doing on his webcam last night. Just the typical stuff.
Some of the nosier people go as far to ask how we handle the physical aspect of our relationship. Like any other couple, we have to make sure we’re leaving room for all three members of the Trinity between us. We try to go out with groups and keep the “alone time” to a minimum. After all, in the event that Imaginary Boyfriend turns out NOT to be The One for me, I want to make sure I’ve honored my future husband in my relationships now. Can I get an amen from the single sisters in the room?
The only negative part about our relationship is that my friends seem to have a hard time “connecting” with Imaginary Boyfriend. They tell me that they feel like they can’t “see” him. Some even claim not to be able to hear him — I’ll admit, he does speak softly sometimes.
Other than that, I feel like we have a pretty good relationship. He’s kind and sweet and, best of all, he lets me talk all I want.
Which, in case you’re new to the bloggy, is an awful lot.

Well, he sure is a cutie!
You crack me up….seriously.
I have come to the conclusion that I can no longer read your blog at work. Your blog + my outbursts of laughter = strange looks from co-workers who wonder what I’m doing instead of talking to students.
I now have to wait to read your blog and both of the Mama’s because of these outbursts! I mean, I know I SHOULD be doing work–but really, blogs are more fun!
Thanks for making my day Amy Beth!
Amy Beth! Where did you find that hottie? Don’t even begin to tell me that his other name is Joe Bob because you will have a very jealous friend in South Africa!
He really is the perfect guy; I’d keep him around if I were you.
Amen!
Amen!
Other people can’t see him?
