Then she came to my place and I started getting to know her better and I fell in love. Trouble is, she just doesn't treat me right at all. Always sending me mixed messages. One day we'll be getting along just great, and I could want no other, willing to give up my friends Les, Paul & Gibby and spend all my time with her... But then, she'll just turn around and put everything in the way of our relationship.

In frustration, I ignore her and return to my old friends for comfort. We have a great time, but every time I see Stratocastina, I am again drawn to her. Eventually I crumble, and again cast aside my good friends, spending time only with Stratocastina, although I know it will likely end in frustration once more.

Like the last time I had her out. I was trying to gently guide her on the Bridge, and she kept sticking things in the way between us. Her reproach was Volumous and I didn't like her Tone. She Switches moods so that it gets in the way. So annoying! I don't know why I am so attracted to her. She seems to like me, too, but on some days I just don't know her at all.

Loving her is like an art unto itself. Dear Abby, I don't know what to do!

I've always said that if you have an issue with a relationship that you look at yourself first and understand what issues you may bring to the table before you look at the one you desire to find fault.

Many have desired and been happy with the likes of a Stratocastina. Some have made lifetime commitments to her type. She must not be all that bad. Perhaps the kind of handling you give is not what she desires and specifically, not what she reacts too.

You may treat yours friends Les Paul and Gibby one way but they are the guys you hang out with, you would never want to treat the one whose curves you desire in the same manner.

It is perhaps you that the beguiling nature of Stratocastina has been lost upon and possibly some reflection on your treatment might be of the essence.
