Professional tackiness
The Tacky Factor Day! Tackiness highlighted in blue…
Dear Breakup Girl,
I’m a young professional woman establishing my career and I’ve been through enough relationships (good and bad) in the past. Now, I feel uninterested in the dating scene or having a boyfriend at all. I would so much prefer to simply have “lovers” available at a congenial convenience. Many of my friends think I’m being immoral or am in a weird state of relationship denial when I simply have no desire for a heavy emotional commitment. What are your thoughts on this situation? Am I wanting to have my cake and eat it too?

Dear Single and Happy,
Read Breakup Girl Meets Miss Fling. It’s all about informed consent. If congenial convenience is what he wants — and, truly, what you want, then fine. But otherwise — as in, if an avoidable heartbreak occurs — it’s tacky.
Love,
Breakup Girl
