You gotta just get out there and shoot your shot. I'm 50, been married 21 years, and had a few girlfriends before that. There are certain things we gotta acknowledge and accept: you're probably never gonna be a hookup guy, you're probably never gonna be able to randomly approach a woman in a club or bar. You're gonna need to know a woman who knows you stutter. But that's not a death sentence! I met all my girlfriends and wife either at work or school. They knew me and liked me for who I am. You'll find that too, you just gotta keep looking and putting yourself out there. We deal with all kinds of shit as stutters, so some rejections are a drop in the bucket
