I've been in 3 long term relationships( currently engaged) and several casual dating situations, and my stutter has never been a problem when the interest was already there. My lack of communication due to self consciousness about my stutter has ruined a few relationships though. The only person that REALLY cares about your stutter is you. I know it sounds cliche and has been said here several times, but that's bc it's solid information. Every now and then you might have an asshole that makes it a big deal, but for the most part, people who actually want to hear what you have to say will listen despite the stutter. And if they don't, are they really worth talking to anyway?
