If you want to create a fake boyfriend or girlfriend that people will believe in, the key is to come up with a solid background story and then talk about them like they're real. For example, include information about where they come from, what they do for a living, and how you met. While you can take inspiration from people you know, make sure to change some of the details so others don't get suspicious about the truth of your story. You’ll also need to come up with some hobbies or interests for them, such as playing sports or watching movies, so you can make them appear like a normal person. Once you’ve created some basic information about them, start talking to your friends about them, like mentioning a recent date you were on together. Make sure you’re ready to answer common questions about them, like “How long have you been dating?”, or “What’s he look like?”.
