Dating and Dating apps Hi, I am 28M. I have never had a relationship. About a year ago, I was on a few dating apps. I was able to get 5 dates within 4months. All of the dates were awful, as soon as I spoke for the first time I could just see their face turn cold. I explained to all of them that I have a stutter and they all said 'I don't mind' or 'That's fine'.... It has been over a year since the last date, I deleted all the apps and have not bothered since then. I do really want companionship, and just to experience that aspect of life. I am very lonely, and it's mostly because I just cannot speak in social settings. I don't really know what to do anymore. I have spoken to many people about it, family and professionals and no one seems to empathise. The advice is, 'keep trying', but trying and failing is **massively** damaging. My stutter at the moment is at its worst in a long time, I went through a patch a few years ago where it wasn't that bad and that how I got the confidence to even try dating. But as I approach 30, still alone still nowhere close to the life I want. I don't care anymore about money or my career or anything, because It feels pointless when no one seems to remotely like me. Sorry for the pitty post
