Experience as a stutterer in dating After a 4 years since my last first date, i recently had a chance to go out again. Was really worried about what would it be like when i inevitably stuttered and it was breaking my head. Would the other person judge me, think less of me so on so on... And i was positively surprised, and it actually gave us a thing to talk about when the awkward silence was beginning. No judgment or anything, and they want to see me again so lets gooooo. Guess the moral of the story is, there really isn't as much we need to worry about, and it might actually become a positive conversation or experience!
