I’ve had countless dates throughout the years and seem to handle them pretty well but even a coffee date gives me anxiety. The problem being the only thing to do on a coffee date is speak, which we can sometimes struggle with. Coffee dates can be awkward at times. My advice would for a first date would be to do something more fun, like an activity, such as bowling, crazy golf etc it really does help to break the ice and can help keep the conversion flowing easier. When doing a fun activity it may stop them getting bored and may also give you a chance to show your fun side. I know I stutter much less when doing activities as well. Was her reaction positive when you disclosed you had a stutter? That alone can take a lot of the pressure off in my experience.
