The OP will probably be staying with his girlfriend, and certainly visiting with her. It's the goal of his travel. He indicated that in his post. You're the one who choose to fabricate his friend
s.

He will probably indicate her address as his location while in the US. Her name and address were certainly noted during his last inspection. An inspecting officer will have access to that information next time around if he is examined again.
Will the OP or anyone else be able to provide names and addresses of other friend
s as readily as he will be able to provide her's. Who will be waiting for them at the airport? Will they know of his arrival and vouch for him if contacted? Will the OP or anyone else be able to maintain their calm and not give off indicators of untruthfulness?
Credibility lost during an immigration inspection is credibilty lost forever.
OP, keep doing what you're doing.
