Absolutely can relate to that. So many times I wanted to ask someone out or chat up a girl but I held back because of my speech. it really sucked. I remember one time I was at work and somehow I found myself in one of the side rooms with a girl I fancied. i tried to be witty or something but ended up stuttering over every syllable. the look in her face, kind of a disappointment, still stays with me 20 Years later! how did I overcome it? Then first time between ages of 16-21 i actually "forgot" I stammered so I was relatively outgoing. then at aged 21 something triggered and it got worse, much worse. a couple years after that I started in a speech therapy program that focused on building confidence around speech and speaking situations which helped my confidence. a friend of mine did the same course, and then immediately went speed dating! met his wife that way.
