i'm fairly new to the dating life, for i save myself for "the one" and just recently i made this girl my first girlfriend,
after many odd years of being the nice guy and talking to many girls and understanding what they want and what they need,
the girl i recently made my first ever girlfriend, (planning for a long term relationship, no short term 2-3 month) likes to party and drink and all that, and it makes me uncomfortable that she hangs around alot of guys, especially when she drinks because i can never not worry that something might happen,
she also has a friend that tried to get with her before we started dating, and he's always with her whenever her has the chance,

my question to you guys are;

1)what do you guys think that keeps a relationship last?
2)how do you keep it lasting?
3) how should i deal with her friend that tried to get with her before,
and 4) how do you deal with insecurities such as worrying about if somethings going to happen with your significant other and someone else?

in addition with having my first girlfriend,
i try my best to treat her well everytime,
there may be few conflicts here and there but i understand that relationships are all about communication and i always discuss with her whenever there is an argument that i don't want the argument to break us apart but to help us understand how we deal with arguments such as those and work it out together.

also, another question,
how does seeing each other too often deter a relationship?
