okguys..i just got completely dumped. I will record one last thing and then put the guitars aside forever. I need a complete restart of my life..meaning, cutting off all of my past. When does that happen? Thi winter. Im sorry,..if anybody cares. I´ll sell my guitars eventually.. good for you though... Anyway. I wont be at that boot camp if I dont cure myself.. I dont know..
are you freaking insane  ...this is when u should be playing your little arse off buddy (for one thing keeps your mind off things and turns something that is bad, useless period into something that might potentially be useful)...use it to drive you to do something with it, u play too good to quit, spent too much of your life studying it to just let it waste (take a brake if u need too sure, i understand that, we all need it sometime... but dont sell both guitars, you will regret it)...besides ...if u looking to meet another...haven't meet a girl who dosent at least give you a second look when she hears you play flamenco, it wont hurt...besides you not THAT funny and dont have THAT much personality...use what u have :-))) jk!...do exactly the opposite of what u planning to do...its good advice for everything, curing your heart, future lovelife and your general happiness...hope u seriously reconsider
take the time, go to Spain if u can, hang out with friends, do flamenco, drink etc...its EXACTLy what u need and u need it more than anyone else here..
sorry , i know this dosent belong on this thread but it would not make sense to answer it anywhere else..and it is quite urgent and alarming Doit would even consider it, hope someone washes his mouth out with soap...u not going anywhere dude ...resignation not accepted

1. I suppose you refer to a girlfriend “dumping” you. As I wrote before, my advice in these unpleasant yet frequent incidents of life, is to be a dash cynical; remember that it is all about you, and anyone else who joins you on your personal journey is only an accessory. Bur depending on others, is a state of perpetual infancy, and however painful it may be, we all must grow out of it and learn to love ourselves before we love anyone else.
2. Now why should you punish yourself? Playing guitar is one of the most defining passions of your being. This type of self inflicted injury, romantic as it may sound, is again quite juvenile. 20 years from now, when you will run into the by-then-wrinkled-up and faded girlfriend who has you on your knees now, you will blush, embarrassed that at one time you would have died for her. Do not die for anyone, live for yourself!!
3. Taking the strict vows of a secluded monastic life would preserve the sadness of this moment for the rest of your days. And why would you want to do that? Your past is what makes you the way you are, and to me you are a wonderful human being, and I beg you not to change anything.
4. I do care, and am sure many others do here.
5. If you think about it logically –as one may reasonably expect of your scientific mind- why would you renounce the company of many people who love you (the members here) because one who does not love you denies you her society?
Dear friend, you are and have in yourself much more than what you think any girlfriend adds. Nothing of yourself has been taken, but a weight lifted, and personal freedom restored. Why is it that (with Fyodor Dostoevsky) that when “man is free he painfully longs for someone to worship” (?). Cherish your own beauty and talent, because that is the sole happiness no thief can steal, no girlfriend can sequester, no one else can give to you.
Chin up, and (if you really need to change anything), re-string your guitar.

ORIGINAL: estebanana
Curiously enough and on a slightly confessional note, I used to hoard my mothers French Vouge magazines in my bedroom. When a nosy neighbor lady expressed concern that those magazines might be contributing to turning a "queer" influence on me, my mom told her she was pretty sure that's not why I was looking at them. (Not that there is anything wrong with being queer either.) I was actually too polite to bring girly magazines into the house and horrified my mother would find them. My mom and I had the silent understanding that I could enjoy all kinds of things about the beautiful half naked women in Vouge. I always looked forward to the Vouge issues in the 1970's where skinny models were spilling delectable tiny titties out of hot Spanish evening wear.
I took my wife along on a business trip to Paris when our son was about 14. As we were on our expedition to buy gifts for the people back home, she stopped at a large sidewalk news kiosk and asked, "Which is the best French skin magazine?"
"I have no idea," I replied. Truthfully, I might add. At age 40 she was still slender and quite appealing. I preferred actual skin to skin photography.
"Well, let's have a look, and you tell me which is best."
We did, and she bought one that had high quality photos of beautiful and classy models, showing the maximum amount.
At last I said, "May I ask why you are buying that?"
"I came across M's stack of Playboys, somewhat concealed. This is my Paris present to him."
