Imaginary Girlfriend Dumped

Chris Hunt has dumped his fictional girlfriend, citing the difficulties of
maintaining a long distance relationship, and drifting apart.  No mention was
made of the fact that she didn't exist. 

He exaplained to bored fellow students in his Rootes kitchen that he was
distraught over the made-up break-up, but was also looking forward to launching
himself on the dating scene. 

His kitchenmates had already concluded that the girlfriend was an invention so
poorly fleshed out that she was never even given a name.  They attempted to
remain impassive as Chris listed implausible details of a phone conversation
terminating the non-relationship.  He said that after breaking up he had been
unable to sleep, and had cried all night, despite appearing unpeterurbed at
Decadance, and having been heard snoring soundly from 2am.

The false girlfriend, whom Hunt has been pretending to go out with since coming
to Warwick, was said to have comitted a minor indiscretion with an equally
fictional other man at Bristol, the university she does not attend, in order to
make Hunt's decision appear less callous.  It is believed that she was created
to make Hunt look more mature, and that he hopes the painful "split" will earn
him sympathy from potential girlfriends. 

Thus far the latest development in Hunt's fantasy life has mainly earned him
derision rather than adoration.
