How do I get my friends to support me in my decision?

[fiddleboy]

So I met this girl a few weeks ago in Denver. We really got along great. We exchanged numbers and have been texting ever since. The last text she sent me yesterday said "Ok! I had a great time talking to you " I had told her I had to go. So we really get along great. She likes everything that I put on facebook. I have decided I'm going to call and talk to her next week and actually talk to her. I want to take it very slow with her because of one reason. She lives 3 hours away. I think she is just so amazing. I've told my friends about her because they always try hooking me up with girls at school that I just don't like. They even admitted that they thought she was beautiful. Now, a couple weeks later, they have completely changed. They tell me everyday that I should pursue anything with her. The joke about how I like her. It is constant. I have realized that all my friends are very immature and none of them have a girlfriend themselves. I don't want to pursue any girl at my school, because none of them are like the girl I met! She is gorgeous, funny, a devout Christian, and exciting to be around. I just want to know, how can I get my friends to just support me? OR are they right? Am I wasting my time? Please some advice. I think they partly are jealous that I have found someone yet they haven't.

Sometimes the people you think are your friends are really not. You don't necessarily need your friends support. It's pretty obvious that they're jealous, don't give her up! If it really means alot to u, then tell them how you feel and be serious and firm when you speak with them. If this ident work then dnt bother with them ;there's a reason why they're single.
