I’m a (31 F) stutterer and before I got married I dated a fair amount. If you can, try and let your excitement and the other 95% of your personality traits lead the way! Yes you stutter and yes it’s frustrating as hell, but it is just one part of who you are. First dates are scary for anyone, especially when you’ve been talking online first. There are a lot of unknowns for anyone in your situation so it’s ok to be nervous! Whenever I would get anxious about it and tell people - by the way, just wanted to let you know I have a stammer so be patient with me - or something like that, that would usually be it and neither of us would mention it again. Mostly I’ve found it’s usually to calm my own anxious/paranoid/self conscious brain down rather than anything to do with the other person. If I can get that out in the open I can move on and not have to worry about it so much. Good luck!
