I agree, that you should probably try and get yourself an electric and an amp. But I also think that learning on an acoustic is a good thing as when you switch to an electric, you'll find it easier to play. As far as bad habits, you can learn those on either guitar and once learned they are hard to break so whatever you are learing and whatever you are learning on, make sure you are learning it the correct way. Just keep in mind that a lot of guitar players have learned on an acoustic and also write songs on them, so there is nothing wrong with that. Your best bet is to eventually be able to play both. As far as chicks digging it, well I happen to be one and love it when a guy can shred on an electric, as I play metal, but my BF plays a classical guitar and I happen to really dig him. ;)
