The people ive been with, i had spent a good deal of time talking to them on chat too. So i felt they knew me alot from all the conversations we had on chat. I couldnt imagine getting together with someone just based of real life encounters. I mostly explained my situation to each of them and this one guy also helped me deal with alot of it. I had trouble saying "i" in i love you so with him id try and end up stuttering anyway and he showed that he felt really special because i didnt let my stutter get in the way of expressing my feelings to him.
