Tell friends how busy she is and list several commitments (like schoolwork, clubs, sports or a part-time job) if they ask why you only talk to her once in awhile. Be creatively evasive about names and locations. For example, just say she works her for father rather than naming a specific store at a mall that they can call.

Break up with her after a few months, before your friends figure out that she's fictitious. You'll then be able to use the "I'm still getting over my girlfriend" line when they bug you to go out and meet new girls.
