Yes! I 22(f) have been with my boyfriend 21 (m) for a year now! (knew him for 3 years prior to dating) In the beginning I didn’t stutter a whole lot however we were long distance in the beginning (still are until later this month) My stuttering has gotten worse but i’m working on it everyday! He knows I get frustrated when I have to repeat myself or can’t get the word out but he tries to help in every way he can and tells me to breathe and that I don’t need to feel rushed cause Im not. Even when I’m flirting in person somehow I get a confidence boost so it comes out easily BUT if he doesn’t hear it and I have to repeat THEN the stutter/stammer comes in and Im just like “oh nothinggggg I was just saying..” then I’ll get it out! The right person will look past your stutter/stammer and encourage you when you feel flustered! I hope this helps? Don’t think of it as being awkward!! It may feel that way yes but, just go for it! I highly doubt the one you’re flirting with will think any different of you!!💕
