Mostly in college/ grad school while hanging out as friends. (This was before apps) Not sure if there are any other women who stutter here who have had a similar experience but I have not seen as much bullying/mockery as some of my male friends who also had a stutter. Some of the guys who have asked me out said that they found my stutter cute (that's a no for me!) but in most of my relationships I've not had to talk about my stuttering beyond the 1st few weeks of when and why and how. I'll share my experiences if I've had a bad day with several blocks and my partner just listens to me which is what I want. In grad school he used to help me run through my presentations giving feedback on parts where I struggled and helped me find replacement words. In dating, there are very few people who don't have any insecurities of their own. They are often more focused on that rather than the other person's shortcomings.
