Haha, there's way more than a "chance"! I mean totally aside from the particular thing I'm talking about here. You will meet someone. I'm not just glibly saying that. I read all of your comments on this thread and that's what I feel. Things happen in mysterious ways...I'm not sure you have to force yourself to approach girls. Not that that'd be a bad thing...it can be a way of becoming somewhat immune to the worst that can happen -- and finding out that the worst that can happen really isn't that bad. But I don't think it's the only way. There's never just one way. There are definitely more like me out there. But, you know, like I said, it's not like that's enough for a real relationship. And not quite sure how you'd find them... I wonder, though, if you went thru one of the online dating things (I've never done that, so I barely even know what they're called) where you can "meet" a lot of people without meeting irl, you could tell them you stutter (you know, not instantly, but if you think you might be interested) and see how they react. Maybe unlikely they'd react like me? But who knows? Either way, their reaction would tell you a lot. It'd be like advertising, but not as scary... I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this, though. I don't see it on this thread, but it's probably on others on here.
