I think two emotionally mature people who are good at communicating with each other can be a couple and hang out with friends of the opposite sex. When you're young, though, this can be a recipe for bad things.
Second, there's no point in being possessive or overprotective. No matter what measures you take, a girlfriend who's intent on cheating on you will find a way--and may do it that much faster because of your clutchiness (not you in particular, Jon Arbuckle, just "you" in general). There's no way to forcibly prevent infidelity without doing something stupid and regrettable.
If she hasn't given you any reason to be suspicious or wary, then you can relax and be happy that she chooses you over all the other guys she knows.
