As I get older, my stuttering has turned into stress/excitement induced stuttering. I went through years of speech therapy, so for the most part I have my stuttering under control (I work as a customer service rep). First thing I told my wife when we first met, since I thought she was dropdead gorgeous and I wanted to get to know her, was "Hey, just so it's out in the open- I have a stutter." She knew what she was getting in to, and she was very patient with me until I got comfortable enough around her for me to stop stuttering when speaking with her. If you like a girl, or want to just even talk to a girl, just tell them straight up that you have a stutter.
