I am 18M too. Started going on my first dates ever with a girl last year. Stuttering is no longer my limiting factor in dating. I advise you to do the usual stuff - get jacked, dress nice, think about your hear, be clean-shaven, do something interesting(for example I am leading my own startup) etc. . BUT..... This is after I spent 2 years giving it my all to conquer my stuttering problem. This is crucial. Do you know why you wrote: *" i just feel undatable.. I just dont feel like the person that gets a girlfriend, idk why"* ? It is because you still carry the trauma of all the embarrassing moments your stutter has put you through. Work on that first. Check this problem off, accept responsibility and get to work. It will be difficult, but absolutely worth it. Anyone can DM me, I want to help! After that, start dating. If some girl catches your eye while you are on this journey, ask her out. Don't commit too much though. That's at least my own world view.
