Advice needed: Going on a tinder date, should I disclose my stutter up front? Hi everyone, so I am going on what is probably my first date and since the girl does not know that I stutter, I am wondering whether I should tell her upfront. My stutter can be at times severe but most of the time it's just really annoying and does not prevent me from reasonably communicating. I think that if I let her know before it will be easier for me because there will be less pressure but on the other hand I am worried that I might blow it out of proportion and make it a bigger problem. What do you think?
