A man’s scheme to dupe his family didn’t quite pan out as he had hoped.
If you’ve been single for a while, you’re likely familiar with the incessant inquiries from relatives about your romantic status. You may have been repeatedly asked if you’re seeing anyone yet, and if you’ve reached a certain age, you might even find that your parents start pestering you about producing grandchildren.
One man who was fed up with his family’s nagging decided to take control of the situation by hiring someone to pose as his girlfriend for a weekend so he could enjoy a family dinner in peace. However, once the job he paid for was completed, he got more than he bargained for.
Sharing his tale with the X account Fesshole – which publishes anonymous stories submitted by people – the man revealed he opted to pay for an escort to accompany him to a family dinner and pretend to be his girlfriend. However, things took a twist after the weekend when she “developed a habit of stalking” him.
But what truly stunned the man is that he “grew to like” the attention the woman was giving him, and their relationship eventually evolved into something genuine.
He shared: “I hired an escort to act like my girlfriend and come to a family dinner weekend at my parent’s place. Afterwards, she developed a habit of stalking me. It was creepy at first. But I grew to like it. We get married in summer 2025.”
Followers quickly made light of the man’s extraordinary love story, playfully doubting the “rock-solid foundations” of the relationship. A wave of comments foreseeing no “issues” on the horizon for the pair was also sprinkled with scepticism about the tale’s authenticity.
One individual remarked: “I’m not sure you can describe stalking as a ‘habit’. Picking your nose is a habit.” Another added: “That’s true romance! ” A third couldn’t resist jesting: “Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.”
In a strange twist, another commenter also had his own unusual anecdote involving an escort. He narrated how he found himself in a pickle when he started dating a woman, only to realise her sister was an escort he had previously visited.
His comment read: “About 20 years ago, I decided to see an escort from a well-known agency. Roll on a year later, I started seeing a girl and two months into a relationship, I was invited to her parent’s 40th anniversary – where she introduced me to her sister, also known as, the escort.”
