I understand completely. Idk how I got over it. Honestly, I don't think I did. It is awkward to let ppl kno but like u said, there is a sense of relief present afterwards and I don't feel as much pressure to try to hide it. We actually met on Facebook. We messaged a little bit there, then we video chatted. That's when I let her kno I stutter. Then we met in person and it's been great ever since.
