It is not a showstopper.

It can even be endearing because it reflects your being genuine and unpretentious. And those are great attributes. A guy whose speech is polished and free-flowing might appear to be more attractive than a guy who stutters until one starts paying attention to the content of the speech, and if the content is... trite and uninteresting, then no polish would ever save the day. Not every girl would think this way, but some would.

So, fear not. Have a good summer, whatever happens.
Thanks for this!
