Hey man, fellow stutter-er here, I've been in the same boat. Sometime my stutter is so bad I just don't speak to anyone. Or if I have too its minimal words. Especially around girls I get the biggest fear since I'm already awkward enough, stuttering makes it worse. and if I stutter they'll think i'm weird. But i've learned to cover it up, just this month my friend of 3 years just realized I stuttered cause I've gotten so good at covering it up. There's times when I know i'm going to stutter on a word I can just feel it. Take a deep breath before and slowly say it. And don't force it, force it makes the stutter worse, as soon as your start, stop right away, maybe fake cough and try again. Its worked for me many a times. I've been in your place before and honestly if the girls gonna laugh at you when something you can't help. she's not worth your time anyway.
