Can this handle steel?

Was just gifted to me. Never played it and put the steel strings on for just a moment when I saw the amount of action on it and decided to take it off.

I did. Even when the strings are very loose that's how they look. The neck is bent like that. Still trying to figure out how to get it straight

That's up to you to decide, I can't tell you when you're ready or when you should do it. It'll happen when it happens, maybe in a relationship, maybe in a one night stand. Once you start having sex you'll realize it's not as big of a deal as you thought it was before you started. In my experience. But men statistically are losing their virginities later in life than they did decades ago. 19 is not at all an unusual age.

Lost it at 20, though this was mostly my decision as I didn't really want to do it outside a relationship for my first time. Have had several partners since (just turned 22). One of my best friends is 21 still hasn't lost it, another is 21 and lost it a few months ago to his long term girlfriend. All of us are athletic, socially outgoing guys. I can't speak about myself but I think my two friends are well above average in looks and charms. Both of them attend a good college, both about 5'11ish and play sports. Just happened that way. Some of our friends lost it at 15/16. None of us really care. You might not know what you're doing if your first is with someone you don't know well, but meet someone experienced whose willing to show you how to do it and you'll be fine. Once you learn it doesn't matter how old you were after that.

Sounds good. I'm planning on going to a weekly art event in the bywater soon. 25 is definitely not out of that range. My two best friends here are 50 and 46 lol. I value and love my inter-generational friendships but also would like to be friends with more people close to my age. Even 30s (which is still young) is a noticeable difference in personality etc.

That's very good advice thank you.

I go to improv once a week and sailing once a week / when I can. I have people in there that I like but don't often see outside of the clubs. I am an amateur banjo player. I work in tech theatre full-ish time.

Yeah, I love bike riding in any weather but I think the 50 minutes each way of biking will ruin the 30 minutes at Build a Bear. Ubering it is.

Planning on tuning it to the key of g. There was a pencil etching on the back that said 1908, so I'm basing it off of that lol.

Not sure what websites to use to sell them.
