Can you guys relate ? Dating itself isn't the issue. But the first step, the approach, the initial contact... A lot of missed opportunities because of the stutter. It's one of the rare situations where looks, personality, wealth, social status etc... don't matter at all. We all have the same struggle at that precise time. I feel like if it wasn't for the stutter, i would've encountered and gotten to know ten times more people in my life. I hope you all having a great week end :)
