Two Questions for Guys, Long-distance relationships and approval Options

[Psychotic-Freak]

Question One:
Do guys believe in long-distance relationships? Cuz there's this guy, and he lives about a five hour drive away, but we do see each other a few times a year, and it could be more if we were going out. Do you think this could work?

Question Two:
I know girls do, but do guys' friends have to "approve" a girl before he asks her out? Like, find out more about her to see if they would like it if they went out with their friend. Cuz a friend of this guy who I think might like me visited my xanga, and I'm not sure if it was just browsing or checking to see if he would approve of me dating his friend. Which is more likely?

Question One:
Personally speaking, of course, I believe in long-distance relationships! I am in one myself. Well, it's not exactly long-distance, but we're two hours away when I go back to college and we only get to see about once a month (excluding the breaks). I know it's only going to get harder once she goes to college as well though. In your case, five hours is a lot (atleast, for me). Also, considering you guys only see each other couple of times a year, that can be tough as well. However, I certainly believe you guys can work it out! As long as you guys communicate effectively and trust each other wholeheartedly, it'll be fine :)

Question Two:
He could've just visited your Xanga out of curiosity; to see what you are like. From my point of view, we don't necessary have to "approve" who our guy friend's are dating. We're not as vicious as them ladies ;) I wouldn't worry about it too much! However, it does help a great deal if you get along with his friends.
