Hey im a new member here so i apologise in advance if i dont post correctly!
This is a question mostly for guys, between the ages 17-22 if poss
I am a university student aged 19, i have embarrassingly never had a boyfriend or even been on a date. but the thing is, is a have a mild stutter, where sometimes i struggle saying my name. This knocks my confidence alot.
I guess what im saying is, would a girl having a stutter bother you? would you be embarrassed by it ? Would u date a stutterer? And how do i go about talking to guys for the first time, when stuttering?
I would be really grateful for your responses. Thank you. xx

just don't get stressed out by it and take a deep breath before saying things
Wouldn't bother me in the slightest.
If I were to do such a thing I would expect a punch in the arm or a dirty look!
I've heard when people who stutter sing they stop stuttering?
And on the bright side it's a great excuse to do less talking and more kissing ..
I think it might freak people out a bit if they were approached by someone singing their greeting.
I think a lot of people are patient and understanding about those with stammers/stutters. There are some that aren't - but I guess that just narrows down the search.
Wouldn't bother me if someone had a stammer.
Lol Yeah, everytime you meet someone, you have no choice but to break out into....
'Hellooooooo......is it me you're looking for??'
Actually I was thinking more a musical style song...
"Hello HELLO! It's a wonderful day! I want a date with you, what do you SSSSAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???????"

I'd say that, as no one is perfect, it would not bother to stutter a bit, since you also might be nervous because of the situation, and i bet so would he.
In my case, my boyfriend has a harelip, which for me is no problem, i even help him with pronunciation some times, and the funny thing is that none of us is an English native speaker
So, just relax and don't make such deal out of it, if you don't mind about it, the other person wouldn't either for sure.
Good luck!
