Exude confidence, regardless of your stutter. Usually other people don't care about your stutter, esp. If it's mild. But they DO follow your cues. If you look embarassed after stutter/block, then it might make it awkward for them. But if you continue speaking with cool confidence, they get the cue that everything is ok and relax. You may not even need to disclose it, because if you're not trying to hide it, it will become apparent. This has worked for me when I was dating. Hope this helps you as well. My wife recently said that she loved my confidence when i first approached her. And although it was obvious that i stuttered, she liked that i wasn't afraid showing my vulnerable side.
