Dear Breakup Girl,
My "friend" lives in Seattle, I live in St. Louis. I was dating another fellow here, but he broke up with me when I went to visit the guy in Seattle. Problem is, I see the Seattle one only about every six months. I don't have any commitment from him. So how can I start dating someone in St. Louis and not have them break up with me when I want to see my friend in Seattle? It's very lonely waiting and not knowing when I will see my Seattle friend.
-- Becca

Dear Becca,
Lose Seattle Boy, pronto. All he has to offer you is sleeplessness, heartache, and a great cup of coffee once every six months. Right now you are trying to have two cakes and eat them both -- but you're really getting crumbs of dry, day-old biscotti that aren't worth it the first place. You will be much less lonely without Seattle, because you will be free -- actually and emotionally -- to meet St. Louis.
Love,
Breakup Girl
