I’m gay but I dated girls in my discovery phase. Honestly I was much more confident in middle school probably cause I never felt insecure about my stutter. High school was an awakening phase when I realized I didn’t really care for girls but was to insecure to pursue boys. I dated a “down low” boy that kind of just strung me along and eventually dumped me. Honestly not proud about the next part but out of revenge i pursued his next bf by befriended his friends in order to get closer to him then went on a few dates to solidify it. So essentially I stole my exs bf. We eventually ended by my choice and I just kind of hit rebound after rebound until about 19 when I met a guy that exceeded everything I wanted in a partner and he didn’t make me feel bad or made fun of my stutter. I’m still with him 11 years later. I guess what I learned with my stutter is that it may create obstacles but if you truly want something you have to make it happen. Which means you may need to go outside your comfort zone but that you may be greatly rewarded. You will encounter people that are willing to understand you and those kind of people are worth your time. We all worthy of love just have to put in the effort.
