My past girlfriend used to say the same thing. I think some girls find it endearing because it’s a reminder of innocence in a guy. I wouldn’t take it the wrong way at all. Clearly it doesn’t bother he...

It is definitely a unique feature about you (us). Her thinking that it's "adorable" is not belittling you in any way. We don't see it as a feature but some do and that's ok as long as they are underst...

I think she’s just being nice, and may not know how to approach someone that stutters. Maybe she does find it adorable? But as a stutterer, I can say that I don’t think my stutter is adorable and you...

To meet people (romantically and friendly) you need to be okay stuttering infront of them. You'll probably panic at first, but if you're open about it, most likely people will understand. Once you're ...

I think it would be a good idea to approach the girl you want and don't try to not stutter. Then you'll notice that you stammer less than usual. Allow her to know you stutter and act happy when she a...

It's not ugly. It's a part of you. And I would rather be me, with my stutter. Than someone else, without it. I will always hate hearing it, because I'm always trying to improve it. But you are not p...
