Too Practical for Love
Dear Dyke Whisperer, I think I’m too practical for love. I don’t see the point in romance. I seek sex and companionship, in that order, but I don’t understand why we women place such high value on the concept of “love.” Is there something wrong with me?

Dear Claire,
I think that you may have been hurt deeply in the past and now seek out relationships devoid of emotion. Maybe you weren’t hurt. Maybe you’re just an analytical type that truly sees no value in romance. The advantage to this is that you’ll never have your world shattered by a broken heart; the disadvantage is that you’ll never experience the world as one who simultaneously loves and is loved.
You are who you are. If you don’t feel the need or ability to change, then so be it. Be warned, though, I do believe there is at least one woman who you will encounter that could change your perspective in a heartbeat. When you meet her, you’ll know — and you won’t believe that you sent me this e-mail message.
