Dear Dr. Romance: I have a problem with this girl I like who's four years younger, we've been friends for a year. She recently broke up with her boyfriend.

You may convince yourself that being rid of the problems, pain, and stress has some benefits. But, what do you do with the good stuff? You have to gain a perspective that enables you to find a place for the good stuff that doesn't negate the bad.
