Although this may seem like NOT the best advice, I would tell you to make a fake profile. You know, make up a name or an alias, (make up something cool like Nick NightWhistle, or something if it will let you, (they recently updated their name filter thing so I don't know if it will work), and have your friends follow it. It will be almost like you're a "personality" under a pen-name. I mean authors and actors do it right?
