I think most has been said already; Become friends and the rest will come later (or it won't, it's no difference to a person that doesn't stutter). I met a girl at archery, didn't hit it off at first...

I agree with this completely. I have a stutter and a lot of time I look like an idiot because the length of time in which it takes for me to say one sentence is sometimes ridiculous. But as my girlfri...

I don't have a cute stutter unfortunately. My head jerks violently when I talk like I'm having a seizure, and sometimes I get a block so my face looks like I'm trying to hold in a fart. I should proba...

Also we stutters delude ourselves that you are speaking well but the other person especially on phone. Can easily identify that speech is not fluent. There will be lots in glitches, change in tone/pit...
