Is it normal to have an imaginary gf?

She's a fictional character that I love. I love her personality and look up to her as a role model sometimes, and she's exotic looking but really cute and pretty as well.

I know she's not real, obviously, but sometimes I picture her talking to me, laying there with me, and I feel less lonely.

In some ways I even feel like her existence isn't even "less" than my previous relationships. After all, she's right there in front of me... everything else? Just memories, arguably as "real" as the imagination.

    I remember there was a post about someone saying that they regularly hear voices when they're alone and I was jumped on for saying that it's not normal and they might be schizophrenic. Apparently that was jumping the gun. Then I read something as mundane as this and everyone's saying mental illness? This site's users are retarded. Pretty amazing that there are people who still seek genuine advice from here. But here's some from me: nothing in this post is concerning. Don't sweat it.

    It’s a bit weird to call someone “exotic looking” but I was going to vote normal until the last paragraph. There’s a big difference between spending time with a real person and an imaginary one, I think you should look up maladaptive daydreaming.

        If in that case how about you hook yourself up on a dating app ( something like Tinder. ), your imaginary girlfriend should be gone and a real life one should be with you.

    Doesn't hurt anyone and makes you feel better, right? I mean, no, it's not normal and a little sad, but if it works for you, it works.

    This is not healthy. I suppose you could save porn pictures where the model reminds you of girls you know in real life. This would be a step toward reality.
