Boyfriends, am I right?
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a fantasy boyfriend to help pass the time. It’s not illegal and nobody ever has to find out about it if you don’t want them to.
Picking up a few quick bits in the supermarket? Wonder what my boyfriend, Ryan Gosling, would like to cook me for dinner? I’ll get a meal for two so it doesn’t take long and we’ll have plenty of time to amuse ourselves in other ways 😉
You can learn a lot about someone based on their fantasy boyfriend. The beauty of having a fantasy boyfriend is that you can choose literally anyone, and yet some people still end up picking the weirdest men. Trust me, every circle of friends has at least one lunatic that legitimately fancies Tommy Fleming.
Here’s what your choice of fantasy boyfriend says about you.
Ryan Gosling
You’re a gentle soul and rarely stray from the pack. That’s not to say you’re not original, it’s just that you have very predictable tendencies. Gym three times a week, packed lunch for work and a fondness for a square of dark chocolate in the evenings and that’s you sorted. Listen, you’ve found your comfort in life and we’re not going to deny you your right to watch The Notebook curled up with the main man himself twice a month.
Channing Tatum
A bit of a show off, you sometimes struggle to sit back and allow others to have their moment in the limelight. You update your Facebook status four times a day, informing your 3,500 friends (roughly 14 of which you actually know) that Mondays are so annoying, the weekend needs to roll on and you really can’t wait for Christmas. Thankfully, Channing came to his senses and got rid of that Jenna (De)wan. Ye’ve been smitten ever since.
A Hemsworth Brother
You’re a daydreamer and make no apology for it. You like to travel and by Christ don’t we hear about it at every opportunity. Oh, was that a rumble of thunder outside? Better inform the whole office about that time you were in Florida and very nearly got struck by lightning, but managed to duck behind a car which turned out to be Liam Hemsworth’s dog groomer’s aunt’s friend’s potato supplier’s car. That’s how you ended up dating all three brothers, and have now settled down with the least famous one, Luke.
Tom Hardy
The exhilarating and slightly dangerous aspect of life really appeals to you. You’ve been skydiving twice, rode a mechanical bull in a skirt and even eaten cheese after 11pm. Nothing scares you, except the fear of being boring. You’re a restless soul, always looking for adventure or a good old fashioned bank heist, if there’s one going. It’s rare that you can find a partner that’s able to keep up with you, but luckily Tom is completely smitten with your haphazard ways.
Drake
You love the finer things in life, even though your bank balance rarely allows it. Not to worry, overdrafts exist for a reason. Joanne The Scammer is your idol and you would ideally like to be dressed from head to toe in (faux) fur every day of the year. You’re convinced that at some point you will be famous enough to write an autobiography, so you’ve been keeping a very detailed diary since you were eight years old. Funnily enough, Drake did the same thing but people actually want to read his. Sorry.
Bradley Cooper
A bit of a neat freak, your friends would most likely compare you to Monica from Friends. Your apartment is immaculate, there isn’t a hairpin out of place and let’s keep it that way. You tend to avoid human contact if at all possible, mostly because people annoy you and they’re messy. Drinks with the gang at your place are eternally out of the question, imagine the clumsiness and spillages that would ensue. No thank you, not on your Bradley’s favourite chair.
Orlando Bloom
Career-wise, you’re very driven. You got a good Leaving, a first in your undergrad and a very honourable 2.1 in your Masters. It’s not that you’re a complete nerd, it’s more that you understand these things need to be done, so you get on with it. You’re currently working your way up the corporate ladder, in between fantasies about you and Bradley taking the yacht up to your summer house in Carlingford for the long weekend.
Jamie Dornan
You’re a bit of a quirky soul, and your lifestyle certainly reflects that. You often find yourself in random circumstances, once receiving a lift back from a festival with a travelling circus and promising them you’d be a ringmaster by the time you’re 35. As expected, they’re still waiting for the confirmation. Your ideal life involves yourself and Jamie sneaking into people’s houses while they sleep and prematurely embalming them in preparation for the afterlife. Freaks.
