Dating a speech language pathology student? I am a (M24) moderate to severe stutterer and recently, I met this girl on Instagram and we have only been texting. Today, we shared what we do for a living and I told her in an investment banking analyst and she told me she's in school to be a speech language pathologist. I have not replied yet because I don’t know if I should share if I stutter or not. I don’t know why, but I keep telling myself, maybe she’ll see it as a turn off since she has to deal with stuttering on a day to day and once she’s an official SLP. What do you guys think? I kinda like this girl and I feel she’ll understand me and accept me, but at the same time I feel like she wouldn’t want to date what she would call a “patient”
