making up a girlfriend?

<p>So i'm going into my senior year of electrical engineering. I haven't made a girlfriend yet and this summer isn't looking very good. </p>

<p>I know its not a good situation.</p>

<p>Anyways, at my workterms I always get nervous when the other students start talking about relationships. Its embrassing if they find out I've never had one. </p>

<p>So my question is, should i just make something up? Its doesn't look too bad that I'm single now, i'm more worried about ppl finding out that i've never had a g/f. So i was thinking i make up a story that basically says i've had a g/f in high school but not in college. </p>

<p>Yes, I know i should be out looking, but this is to cover myself for the meantime.</p>

<p>No. Please don’t make someone up.</p>

<p>It’s fine. I didn’t have my first relationship till I was halfway through my junior year of college.</p>

<p>^ of high school or college?</p>

<p>No, it’ll be embarrassing if they find you out. It’s not easy to lie about these kind of things. Just be honest. If they’re mature and therefore worth your time, they won’t care. They might crack an innocent joke, but that’s about it.
You don’t even have to mention it in the first place. If they ask, just tell the truth.</p>

<p>Just say you’ve “never been in anything that serious” or some other BS. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Haven’t made one yet? Do they only let the senior EE students attempt that?</p>

6

<p>^ LOL. Yeah, just make up some BS like that. Disregard what I said on the last post.</p>

<p>most people aren’t going to interrogate you on this; just don’t mention it. I don’t think it’s a big deal though; I’ve only had my first relationship in college and itll probably be quite some time before my next one.</p>

<p>“I don’t like being tied down.”</p>

<p>I dont think girls will care that you have not had previous relationships before, and I dont think you should worry about something like that. It is not like people will lecture about their current girlfriends/boyfriends about their ex.</p>

<p>Haha…sounds like that episode of Gilmore Girls when Kirk says “I had an imaginary girlfriend once, but she left me.” lol…if you make up a girlfriend, you could be in for some real heartache.</p>

11

<p>thanks to much for the responses! i’m going to go with “never been in anything that serious”</p>

<p>Do NOT, under any circumstances, make up a girlfriend. I guarantee you that people will find out, and then you’ll look like an idiot. You could also try “I’m picky”, or “I just haven’t found the right girl yet.”</p>

<p>From a female perspective, I was always attracted to guys who hadn’t had girlfriends before. They’re sweeter.</p>

13

<p>hey, thanks for the advice. I won’t make up a girlfriend. The plan was to make up an ex-girlfriend but i wont’ do that either.</p>

<p>Really? You’re attracted to guys who never had a girlfriend? I figure you’d be like “oh…whats wrong with that guy?”</p>

14

<p>if you make up having a girlfriend you will never get a girlfriend.</p>

<p>LasMa + Thermo= <3</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>I was certainly with LasMa on that until I discovered my never-had-a-gf-before ex was an immature jerk, lol. But people who have dated can be that way too, so I think most of us judge based on other factors.</p>

17

<p>I mean I had a lot of great sex before I had an actual girlfriend, so it was always cool when I said i’d never had a girlfriend.</p>

<p>And I barely dabbled, and girlfriends ARE rigs seriously.</p>

18

<p>I usually say I like to play the field, don’t wanna get tied down, something along those lines</p>

19

<p>What was that guy’s name Jan made up on the Brady Bunch Movie?</p>

<p>Bob Glass? Bill Orange?</p>

<p>^ George Glass lol. It wasn’t in the Brady Bunch movie, but the tv series.</p>
