I went to my first basic English class today. I am British and live in a one bedroom flat. At college there was other students learning basic English and every one except me was foreign. I got friendly with a girl from the class who is from Europe and we exchanged numbers and talk and stayed together. When it was home time she asked me if I lived on my own so I said yes, not wanting to lie, and then she said "can I move in with you" this came as a shock because I only just met her, so I made up a lie and said that I'm "in a bedsit" instead of a flat. I feel really terrible now for turning her down, but I hardly know her and I have mental issues, but that's not the point, the point is that I live in a one bedroom flat and can not accommodate her. I feel sick now because compared to the Europeans, and other foreigners who come to England the British have it quite easy and I feel guilty.
I go back to class on Monday but don't know how to face her.

My question is was I right to turn her down.
 
You need to take care of yourself and what you needs are. She probably needs a place to stay. She can ask other people the same question. She wasn't shy about asking you, so she won't have a problem asking someone else. Try not to be hard on yourself. You know your stress level and what you can manage. Good Luck at college and in the future.

Why would you feel guilty? This random stranger who you really don't know wants to move in with you. You shouldn't have lied,and just told her that you couldn't accomodate her in a one bedroom flat, but what's done is done. Don't worry about it and move on.
