I'm not sure what to write. So if I write something overly simplistic, I apologize in advance. lol I've read somewhere that in order to change something you must first unfreeze, then change, then refreeze. So open your mind to something different happening for you. Unfreeze, be open. Some say seek and you shall find. Do more seeking, and go on those blind dates. Remember that when dating, sometimes you have to respect the journey: in other words, the jackpot won't hit on the first date. Make the best of it. Be gracious . And if you have to move on, then move on. Also, read those social or dating books, just to get some things to help you out. You are on a journey. Each day is part of the journey. Be open, and be yourself. Let people know that you stutter. Let people see your great personality. It's part of you so therefore, let it be known. If you are not sure how to get started... then do the awkward start. Just say it at any time, even if the moment is not right. It's a journey. You may even tell people you are opening up more. Are you a member of a church? Join some kind of group. Focus on the positive: It's like playing a good message in your mind over and over (don't play a negative message).
