True, it could be anything. The fact that she stayed on the phone for half an hour seems to indicate it is due to the stutter though. People don’t want to immediately shoot down someone with a disability. If they didn’t vibe due to some other reason then it probably would’ve been more mutual. From what it sounds like, she played along until she could cut ties without having to face the music. That’s just from my experience though, it definitely could be anything I’ve gone on blind dates that went rather well only to never hear from them again. I’d rather just be told what the problem was, even if it is my stutter cause then I can just chalk it up to them being close minded and not worth my time anyways.
