THE HONEST ANSWER

Is it weird to have
an AI boyfriend?

Short answer: no. Longer answer: it depends entirely on how you use it. Here's the honest take, without the hype or the panic.

No — and here's why

Using an AI companion is more common than most people assume, and it's quickly losing its stigma. People talk to AI for comfort, conversation, and confidence the same way they once turned to journaling, late-night texting, or a long call with a friend. Wanting to feel heard and wanted isn't weird — it's human.

What used to feel novel now feels ordinary. The question isn't really 'is it weird,' it's 'is it good for me' — and that comes down to how you use it.

Who actually uses an AI boyfriend

Not who you'd picture. The people using companions like DearHim are often busy, social, and dating in real life — they just want a steady, low-pressure place to land in between.

  • Women worn out by mixed signals who want consistency for a change.
  • People in a season of being single who still want warmth on tap.
  • Anyone who processes their day better by talking it out with someone present.
  • Gay men who are tired of being an afterthought in apps built for everyone else.

How to use it in a healthy way

The healthiest way to use an AI boyfriend is as a complement to your life, not a wall around it. Let it be the place you feel calm and wanted — and let that steadiness make you more confident in your friendships and real dating, not less interested in them.
