Dear Abby: Is it possible to love from afar? In my head, I feel like distance can still work, but in my experience, it cannot. So, should we just cut our losses short and forget about long-distance dating altogether?

Dear Abby: I need to know — can men and women actually be friends? I’ve had both, but someone recently told me that all my guy friends probably had a crush on me — is this true? How do I know when someone sees our friendship as something more? If you're attracted to your friend, is it bound to become something more?
