i know how you feel man.
i once fell in love with a girl. she was both beutiful AND smart. we were both wild so we did some pretty wild things together for about a year. however, every time i tried to make her achnoledge me in public she refused. i remember lying on the grass with her one sunny day and a fried of mine came up and called me:"Yo Fox! why are you smiling like that?" and then he saw her and said:"O..." in knowing tone. man, she slapped him so hard she sent him rolling twice before falling on his face. :) anyway she left me and i was sad for a while but as they say there are many fish in the sea and i got over it.
my guitar did help me i used the minors because i don't like blues.
