I know you're being modest, but I absolutely remember my advice to you. I am not a celebrity and I value interactions here. My viola playing is coming along nicely, by the way. I'm glad to hear it touched someone and made a difference. For what it's worth, learning an instrument may help you get a girlfriend. I could give you the corny line about dudes with guitars attracting girls, but more realistically, getting involved with some sort of group, even if it's just casual, would be a genuinely good way to meet someone similar. There is music tuition done in group classes, for example, which double as a way to save money on lessons. Not that I have experience, but they say the best way to meet people is to just do something public like that and have the meetings be secondary. Best of luc  ffa  k to you. I know it's an absolute minefield out there, especially for men, and I count my blessings that I am quite comfortable being alone.
