i dont stutter but joined this sub cuz my 4 year old son recently started, so i enjoy reading people's experience as it gives me hope. nevertheless though i happen to be a psychotherapist, and not that i want to jump to conclusions since i dont know you at all, but it sounds like you're experiencing some anxiety surrounding talking to girls as someone who stutters. if this is the case, to be honest, the best solution is exposure. whats your worst fear regarding this situation? figure that out, and get to a place in your mind where you KNOW you could tolerate that even if it happens. not only know that you COULD you tolerate it, but it would be WORTH tolerating in order to pursue your goals. and then just go for it and know that no matter how the girl responds, it's a win-win. if she's cool and accepting and you hit it off - awesome. if shes a bitch and laughs or even makes fun of you - also awesome - now you get to use that as an opportunity to prove to yourself that you can handle that shit, and that its not that threatening, and you can jump right back in the game no problem. Also, in terms of content. when in doubt, when you dont know what to say in any situation - my go to is just state the obvious. "hey i have no idea what to say to you but i think you're really pretty and even though im nervous i told myself just talk to her already!" what's your name?" and then just say some random shit to get a silly convo started like ask if she likes skittles or MnMs more and then argue with her about why shes dead wrong and MmMs suck. stuff like that. find out what she may be interested in and just ask questions about it. girls like to talk.
