First,Don't blow your friends off for anyone. They were there before, and if their true friends they'll be there after. Secondly, long distance relationships have a bad reputation because people are too lazy to try. If you say she is the "right one" Then i'd say there is nothing wrong with trying it. And I'm hoping you're old enough to know better to settle down right away.

Wish you the best of luck, oh, don't throw your self into it so quickly. Gaurd yourself.
