I met my husband through a common friend group (I'm a furry so we have furgroups where people -- new and old can come together and chill). We knew -of- each other online back in the olden days of LiveJournal, but we never chatted until then. Through getting to know each other more, I brought up my stutter and said I really wasn't fond of jokes that came as a result of my stuttering so that got it out the way really quickly. That was almost a decade ago so through just being friends we were able to grow fond of each other and "take it to the next level"! So it can be done; just be yourself, know your worth, and you should be good friend :)
