Well done mate !
All the "grey beards" will tell you that you're just about to start learning, and I suppose they're right - that's why they've earned their beards, I guess !
My advice : enjoy it, be a little frightened of it, but not too frightened to try new things as you feel ready ... and don't forget to read the rather quaintly titled "GA Courting" thread - at 17 you've got to be in with a shout at that !
Good luck to you, I hope our paths cross (on the ground
) at some time !
Cheers,
FF
