Dating: The Old Fashioned Way

[ProudThread598]

Hi! (Although I probably seem a little young to be dating), I'm dating this amazing girl. We're both really mature for our age and really responsible. However, since I'm so used to communicating over technology, I have almost no clue on how to chat in real life, especially with my significant other. Also, I have a stutter/stammer so it makes it a little difficult to talk, even when I'm comfortable.

When I do try to talk, about half of the time, it feels really artificial, kind of like small talk. My question is:
How can I feel more comfortable talking casually with my girlfriend with my social awkwardness and stutter? (And maybe get a little closer romantically to her if you can;) )

Just talk to everyone. Wherever you go try and speak with people instead of keeping your head down. I used to be nervous too when speaking, but I realized that I work out my muscles to make them better, I should work out my communication skills to make them better.

Eventually you'll be less stressed and talking to someone who is close to you won't be scary at all

Just b urself don't try to hide anything. if u
can start with a chat tell her u r awkward in
starting conversations and r nervous. If she
really cares for u-she will understand.

Just talk to her the same way you would text her. Be yourself and try not to be self conscious if you stutter a bit. You will do fine.
