I wasn’t ready for college girls

I believe a person shouldn’t have to tell a complete lie under any circumstance. But after last night I’m starting to think this rule might need some tweaking. I was faced with a tough decision last night when a girl pulled me aside and started dancing with me. As she got more comfortable, she started suggesting I move my hands from her hips and onto other parts of her body. This was the moment I decided to lie to her and tell her I have a girlfriend.
At the age of 18 and about 10 months, I am yet to have a girlfriend or my first kiss. I have, with great opposition, decided to save both these moments for a girl I genuinely like. And if the semester break goes well, I shouldn’t wait much longer.
Her name is Lisa, she is studying engineering and she is super pretty, super smart and super busy. So yes, I do think I have a lot to make up for. The truth is I don’t feel it has been going so well. She has rejected a couple of my invitations to get coffee and, to be honest, I’m starting to think I should give up and find another girl. But it is times like these when I have to remind myself that this is not about whichever girl I like now. This is all for you and I’m going to do it right.
