Adding more "Jessie's Girl" trivia to RadTech's excellent (and quite correct!) answer:
Rick lost touch with Gary ("Jessie") and his girlfriend before the song was ever recorded. Rick doubts that the couple even knows the song is about them. (Unless, of course, they have followed his career and have been able to do the math from the numerous interviews Rick has given on the subject)
The correct spelling of the song title is "Jessie", not "Jesse".
Rick thought his friend's real name, "Gary" didn't "sing" well; he got the name "Jessie" from L.A. Rams football star Ron Jessie, whose name adorned Rick's then-favorite shirt, a football jersey.

No, he did not. Jessie (actual call replaced into Gary yet Gary's woman did not have an identical ring to it) and his lady buddy have been in a stained glass type that Rick replaced into taking. Rick in no way have been given her.

Unlike the other answerers, I actually know the answer to this question.
"Jessie" and his girlfriend were in a stained glass class that Rick was taking. He never got her. Jessie's real name was Gary, but Gary's Girl didn't have the same ring to it.

At least once in every guys life, likely ladies too, they will have a desire for a friends squeeze. If they want to keep the friendship, then they just get past it. If not, they may force the issue, and sometimes get the girl and sometimes they lose both. Odd that Layla is playing on my ipod at this very moment. (Layla was directed to George Harrison's wife, who Eric Clapton won from George). So I think that if Rick was serious about Jessie's Girl, he got her.

I don't know if he got Jessie's girl...but he definitely scored a lot of beautiful girls as a rock star and soap opera star.

He probably got her then decided actually he didn't want her and shagged he's way through a bunch of groupies and supermodels.
