Tell them about it straight away. Make it known. After introducing yourself, just say, hey by the way I have a stutter. And they'll be totally cool with it. You'll crush it bro....

Overcoming, to me, means not feeling shame for talking. It means making my voice heard. It means not cowering from certain situations because I may have to speak. The path to overcoming can be accept...

Don't mention your stutter in my humble opinion. It will make you look even more determined and better in their eyes. Mentioning the obvious won't give you any bonus points, just in my opinion. To ...

I'm sorry this happened. I know how it feels. Usually, when I start stuttering, I will immediately stop and call attention to it. I shouldn't apologize for having a stutter, but I do. I will say somet...

I'm married now (31) but my stutter certainly didn't slow me down much when I was younger and dating. I would never try to hide it, and maybe even go as far as to make it part of how you introduce y...

I used tinder before. I'd always disclose my stutter on Day 1 of talking. Most didn't care. Met one girl on there who didn't care, we connected on 'The Office' Been together 6 years now, married for...
