I wholeheartedly endorse the comment above. On a first date with my now ex-girlfriend she told me that she had noticed my stutter and thought "it was cute". That instantly put me at ease and made things so much easier. Also major kudos to you for taking the time to ask this thread about how to make things better. I really wish there were more thoughtful people like you in the world. I guarantee you this girl will appreciate you a lot for this.
