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?

Q1:
Yes, I'm in one and she lives 1000 miles away. We fly back and forth to see each other and take turns going to each others houses. 1 hour is not a long distance relationship. You could take a bus to see that girl any time you want, and it would probably cost you less than 40 dollars. Yes, it could definitely work, but the chances are very slim for any relationship working... especially at your age. You will probably go through at least 4-5 relationships before you find your one true love. That's just the truth.

Q2:
Yes they do. I do, but it's really just a joke. I like to see what they think, but it really doesn't effect my opinion of of my sunshine. I can form my own opinions, and he should be able to also. It's a good idea to get on his friend's good side though. It's never good to be hated by your boyfriend's best buddies.


As far as recieveing input from your friends:
In a long distance you're going to have to deal with skeptics all the time. As long as you are truly happy, stick with it. Listen to others and hear them out, but know where you stand and don't let their ideas mess with your head. You should be able to form your own opinions of people. Live your own life, don't let others live it for you. If he's good enough for you, then it doesn't matter what your friends think.

Haha. Question two is funny. I never ask my friends what they think about the girl I'm interested in. I tell them about her, and they always fill me in about what they think, but I never ask. For the most part. haha. Like he said, it's pretty much a joke. That's how we feel about it, but we're good friends. So, it might be different in other areas, but around here, guys don't give a crap. As long as it's not their exgirlfriend. >.<
