Hey you,

I hope life is treating you well, wherever you are. However, since you don't even exist, I don't have to worry about hurting your feelings. So, let’s start things off. I would first like to say thank you for never getting in my way. I know some of my friends would complain about their boyfriends not letting them hang out with their guy and girl friends. But you never really cared. You were always the first person to say that I should spend some time with my girls, or go to parties on weekends. You really understood that I needed space, like all the time. Even though you were the world's greatest listener, (because you never talked), I never had doubt in our relationship. You gave me the ability to gain confidence in myself, which allowed me to be my truest self around you. But most of all thank you for never coming into my life.

You are, hands down, the best and worse boyfriend I have ever had. Whenever I had a bad day, you weren’t the first to hear my troubles or see me cry. My friends were always around to pick me up when I was down and remind me of how great I am. You will never compare to them and what they mean to me will always mean more to me than what you were. If I have only one thing to be thankful for from you, it is that you never really entered my life.

I am so happy for all the time I have had to be single over the last year. Looking back on last Valentine's Day, I was slightly sad because, at the time, most of my friends were single. We all wished that we had perfect boyfriends, but looking back on it, that wasn't going to solve anything. What we all really needed was some self appreciation! We thought it was our fault that we didn't have boyfriends, but it was because we have high standards. To some, high standards seem like a bad thing, but it means to me, I am not settling for some crappy college drop out, who doesn't know where his life is going.

I am proud that for the past year I have been single and never fall into the pressures of society to feel like a guy had to complete me. I am so glad that I get to enjoy Valentine’s Day with family and friends. That’s really the true meaning about Valentine’s Day is about being around those who you love. I feel confident and better than ever that I don’t have to worry about a guy in my life!

Thank you never being real and never getting in my way. You have made me the person I am today and I am eternally grateful for that.

Love you always,

Your non-existent girlfriend
