Please share your dating experiences, tips and advice I'm in college and never dated before in my life because of the fear of the impression my stutter would create. However recently, I've been overcoming that fear, and I've been doing good socially, making more friends, meeting a lot more people and now I want to start dating.   1) What are some tips/advice you have that helped you get through dates? 2) Where did you take her? (I'm afraid of taking out dates to very public spaces, 'cause I've noticed I'm more insecure about my stutter and I stutter more when there are several people around) 3) How did you ask her out? What made you ask her out? and when did you know it was the right time to ask her out? 4) If she rejected you, did you feel your relationship with her changed after? (eg. if she was a friend before you asked her out, did you talk to her less after she rejected you?) 5) What moves did you use? 6) How did you address your stutter in a way that didn't make you look insecure about it? 7) Can you share some of your best/worst date experiences? (So I can prepare myself for them)
