I dont know how far this is from you but:http://www.westutter.org/find-an-nsa-meeting-near-you/Indiana/ Next year's NSA conference will be in Chicago. Make the drive it. I'm not a hype man but i would emplore you to save some money and go. about dating, I have a severe stutter so its really hard for me to get myself to start, but i would say, Don't try to pass as fluent. You are a person who stutters, thats who you are and there isn't bad or good. it's just another trait. The less you care about it, the less she will care (easier said than done). But seriously, you'll stutter on your name. if you want you can follow up with "btw i stutter, if you were wondering" or some variation. She'll be think "oh ok thats what that was" and likely drop quickly from her list of things to care about. It sucks but you just gotta do it. Get yourself more afraid of missing out than stuttering on your name and boom.
