Gregg DelmanAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowDear E. Jean: I'm a fairly handsome guy with some apparently serious problems. I've always been under the impression that musicians with long hair in loud bands have little trouble meeting women. This is not my case. I'm admittedly shy; but once the ice is broken, I'm an open book. Can it be this hard to find a woman? Someone to enjoy life with? I'm doing something wrong, but I just can't figure out what. Or is this lonely piano player losing his mind?
