I'm going to tell you my experience. My stutter limited my potential romances, but not as the main reason, only as a single factor. I asked out thirty one people, men and women from 15-24...only three said yes. I felt entitled to a relationship for a long time, and that was the problem. I overcompensated for my lack of romance with my first girlfriend at age 21 and smothered her. My second boyfriend we just were different people and split apart at age 23. I found my third and current partner on a dating app in the state next to me, going on four years now. As much as I want to pretend like those rejections didn't take a toll on me, they did. I turned that energy inwards and became a better person. Became involved in a lot of hobbies and educated myself on many things. I became the person that I thought I deserved all those years ago. My best advice is to move on from those thoughts of missed romance, but remember the experience of them. Use that to grow as a person, and don't let your past dictate your future. Side note: Treat your partner well and with respect. Be genuine.
