Here is another aspect of stuttering and dating - When the students in my class are asked to initiate some moderate levels of stuttering in order to get some sense of the stuttering experience I suggest that they try to inject some stuttering when they are on a date. Most of the students are female, of course, and they find that it is a way to quickly find out if the date will be emparassed or supportive. Finding out how another person response to less than ideal circumstances often reveals the real nature of the person. Some of my students have even experimenting with stuttering with guys are bothering them in a bar. That also works most of the time, and again, it reveals the basic nature of the beast.
