I’m sorry you feel that way. I think taking a step back from pursuing and charming potential dates is a good idea, but not for the reason you think. Trying too hard doesn’t work for most men when it c...

Thanks for asking. I began stuttering at about age 4-5. I remember being the “apple of my parents’ eye” before that. I felt adored. At about age 4, my eye muscle turned in and with the stutter, I was ...
