Hey Reddit,

I've seen other posts like this, so I'm giving it a shot. I’ve got a family reunion coming up next week, and I’m looking for a stand-in girlfriend for a quick photo op today. No need to actually attend the gathering.

For context, I’ve been very focused on my career and haven’t had much time to date. Dating apps haven’t worked either since I’ve been very busy. Honestly, I haven’t been interested in dating recently anyway.

I’m avoiding my social circles for this to prevent any bad gossip, especially since many of my friends and family friends are connected through business acquaintances. Reddit gives me a wider reach and a diverse audience, making this easier. Posting here allows me to be specific about what I’m looking for while keeping things light, casual, and fun without complicating any personal relationships. Anonymity makes it much easier to make a request like this, and a fresh face avoids any overlap or existing ties with my family.

About Me:

• 30, 5'10, career-oriented.
• I manage small businesses and have a day job.
• 8/10 on a good day. Been told I smell good by a lot of exes and dates.
• Easygoing and not looking to make this awkward. I’ll match your energy—kanal humor? Game lang. Hahaha.
• You can vet my profile—this isn’t a dummy or throwaway account.

About You:

• Presentable, chill, and fun—hoping we’re on equal footing in terms of looks and vibe.
• Located in Metro Manila.
• Please be single—this is non-negotiable.
• Bonus if you have a similar background (both sides of my family have Chinese and mestizo ancestry), so it’s easier culturally and to make this convincing.
• Available today to make this happen.

Lunch is on me—just a casual meet-up as a pretend couple for the photo op. If we vibe well and you’re interested, I can invite you to the event next week at Makati Sports Club and Tagaytay afterwards. And hey, if we really hit it off, who knows? We could keep the connection going.

If you’re game, send me a short intro and a picture. I won’t reply to generic “hi” or “hello” messages.

If this post is still up, that means I’m still looking. Will delete once I’ve found the best match.

EDIT: I’ve been getting a lot of messages because of this post—thank you to everyone who has reached out! Please bear with me if I take a while to reply or overlook your message. I am still actively looking and will delete the post once I've found the best match.
