Gadget Love: Valentine's Day gifts for single geeks

By Rory Reid on 13 February 2007, 1:06pm

Virtual Boyfriend/Girlfriend
Our final Valentine's Day recommendation for single folk is arguably the best of the bunch -- but it isn't one you'll want to shout about. The Virtual Girlfriend or Virtual Boyfriend is a Tamagotchi-style device that lets you date up to eight virtual men and women simultaneously.

These virtual partners demand attention just like their real-world counterparts. You'll have to take them on virtual dates, buy them virtual presents give them virtual compliments and tell them that their virtual bums don't look big in those virtual jeans. The more satisfied they are, the more points you collect and the longer the relationships last.

If you get lucky, things can get a little risqué. And, if your date gets all neurotic and begins asking pointless questions like "we've been going out for three years and I still don't know where you live", you can always press the reset button and start again.

The Virtual Boyfriend and Virtual Girlfriend are available from Lastminute.com for £20. -RR
