Does your stutter make you feel restricted in dating and meeting new people?

Does your stutter make you feel restricted in dating and meeting new people? I’m trying to break out of this in recent times and it’s going well by pushing myself really. Chatting to people online first also helps to get the initial awkwardness out the way. I’ve been used to feeling alone and restricted a lot but recently I made a choice not to be, and hence I’m quite direct and straightforward about what I want now and not wasting time (as it feels plenty was wasted already). So it helps just being present and direct in my experience, people seem to appreciate the honesty.
