Just sharing another answer i gave here : https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/s/D2e93GAmiS I felt the same way at your age, but beleive me, things change. You're entering an age where more and more women will not look for someone "popular and cool" especially. You can be someone very interesting even if you stutter. Qualities like respect, empathy, open mindness reliability, humanity can't be found everywhere. Add to it sense of humor and curiosity, and i can garantee you will not stay single, it's just a question of time. Finding self-confidence is a long road, but it's not absolutely required. My first real realtionships started around 18, then at 20 i did "Specialized education" studies and i found a girl in my classroom who shared the qualities i talked about. Now i'm 39 and i'm still with her. I don't stutter anymore. Be patient, you're entering a new life 🌄
