No, not at all. Tourettes Syndrome is not dangerous at all. Someone with tourettes has occasional "tics" where their body jerks or they say something they don't mean to say. It is very difficult to control tourettes and scientists have only recently begun discovering how to help someone with tourettes other than using medication. Just because someone has a disability, it does not mean they are "dangerous" or "dangerous to be in a relationship with". They definitely should not be treated differently because they have a disability. Most people with disabilities are more sensitive or caring than those without disabilities. Whoever told you it is dangerous to be in a relationship with a tourettes sufferer has broken the law (Disability Discrimination).
People with Tourette's syndrome are often found swearing because they are unable to control their compulsion. Only 10% of people who suffer from Tourette's syndrome struggle with compulsive swearing.

It's estimated that about 200,000 people (equals one out of every 200 people) suffer from tourette's in the United States.
Its a verbal tic and likely a mild form of Tourettes Syndrome. The same people will say "alright" at the end of every sentence comparably as much as they say "okay".
