How to Get That Loser off Your Back at a Bar

Most of us who once, or are still in the dating scene have had this problem at some point--lame guys who you would never date in a million years coming by to talk to you at a bar when all you want to do is hang out with your girlfriends.If you are one of those goddesses who are sick and tired of loser guys approaching you at a bar during "Ladies' Night Out," I may have a high-tech solution for you.  

Last night, I was looking through IVillage and discovered that there's an app in the market called "The Fake Boyfriend."  (www.TextBoyfriend.com) This app is targeted towards singles who occasionally need a boost of confidence by having an imaginary boyfriend send texts to the user--kind of like a modern-day version of sending flowers to yourself.   When I discovered this app, I wasn't necessarily thinking about recommending it to use as an ego boost, rather, I was thinking about how to use this to get men off your back at a bar or lounge.  Unfortunately, this imaginary boyfriend does require a commitment--a minimum of $1.95 a week.  

So this morning, I searched the web to see if there's a cheaper or free alternative in the Market. If you are an I-Phone user, you're in luck. It's called the "Fake-A-Message."   According to ITunes, the app is free, but in looking at other blogs, it appears that there may be a charge--know before you download.   If you desire to receive phone calls, you can check out "Fake Conversation."  For Android and Blackberry Users, SMS Faker and Fake-Call Me, (Android) and Fakecall and Phoney Call (BlackBerry). SMS Faker and Fake-Call Me are free,whereas, Fakecall and Phoney Call will cost you between $3-$5.
