Stutter on a date Next Friday i have a date with the woman of my dreams. I`ve wanted her for the last 10 years, and i tend to freeze up when she`s around. I`ve mostly spoken to her at parties where im close to fluent, so im really scared for this :) I really doubt she has any idea i have a stutter. Im wondering if i should introduce it randomly like "you may notice i talk weird, haha... Im born with a stutter" or something like that. This girl is a clear ten, and can do way better than me, so i better not blow it. Im looking for tips in regards to how to relax, what to say etc. Is there any "short fix" besides alcohol? Wondering if i should chug down three scoops of pre-workout as i tend to stutter worse when i get tired, lol.
