Ronlina answered Wednesday September 29 2004, 6:56 pm: Well, in all honesty, what's the problem with him being shorter? It seems that you could at least give him a chance, go on a date (not to say that you'd go out, as I don't know how well you know him) and see how his personality is. One day, he may grow. If he's stopped growing, then the least you can do is give him a chance, because he may be really fun to hang around. Height really isn't very important to tell you the truth. If you're afraid of what others think, then screw them. Hopefully you'll be able to look past his height and have a good time with him, if you like him, that is.

~*Annie*~ answered Wednesday September 29 2004, 6:01 pm: If I were you, I would say yes to the guy. I mean, he WILL grow. All boys start growing in high school in freshman-junior year, just around when girls stop growing. He will eventually pass you up. I highly doubt this would have any effect on your relationship, but it will if the height difference bothers you or him.
Chatychic08 answered Wednesday September 29 2004, 5:33 pm: Well all i can tell you is height shuldn matter, ive went out with like 2 guys shorter than me an i didn think ov it as ani big deal. Its them that matters not really what they look like.

Trppnclark1167 answered Wednesday September 29 2004, 4:54 pm: Well, if the guys is shorter than you, and how tall are you, cause if your like 5'6" then its weird, he might have a thing for amazon women and i would build on that, he might if youre like 6 ft then he likes amazon women and i would go out with him [ Trppnclark1167's advice column | Ask Trppnclark1167 A Question ]
Riggzy answered Wednesday September 29 2004, 2:11 am: Well, the sad fact is, guys like to be in a dominant position when snuggling. And with short guys, that is pretty freakin' awkward. I mean, EXTREMELY AWKWARD. Plus, you never know when something will escalate into pregnancy (!!!), and really, do you want to have short kids? Heh. Go on a date with him, but if you're not head over heels, you should start looking around for tall guys. [ Riggzy's advice column | Ask Riggzy A Question ]
Mercy_x_Me answered Tuesday September 28 2004, 9:53 pm: well honestly, most people do say if you like him it shouldnt bother you. I dont believe that you should care what others think, but some people just do and they cant help it. Do you personally mind the fact of walking around with him and him being shorter? Do you care? Plus if its not a big hieght difference, dont worry, he'll grow soon. If its a major difference... id say dont do it.... it may sound cruel but it will get to you. And also his hieght really wont effect you if its not that different in hieght because you guys can do the same thing every other couple does... theres nothing your being stopped from doin`.. all it is is appearance..
ehslacrosse26 answered Tuesday September 28 2004, 9:02 pm: if you really like him then you shoulkd like him for who he is in the inside not the outside. hight shouldn't matter. it is what you feel about the person on the inside that counts.
masakazu652 answered Tuesday September 28 2004, 8:41 pm: I'm pretty short myself but I've had plenty of girlfriends that are taller than me. If your afraid of what people may think, they dont care no one ever said anyhting about any of my relationships with taller girls, so just go with him if he is a nice guy, and u like him. YOu're gonna get used to it after a while so it won't bother you. Unless ur shallow of course but I doubt that if your on this site knowing u need help. :) [ masakazu652's advice column | Ask masakazu652 A Question ]
xASH answered Tuesday September 28 2004, 8:10 pm: hopefully people aren't shallow enough to make fun of you and your boyfriend just because of your height difference.i honestly don't think it won't affect your because height difference isn't really a big deal.

behindxthesexeyes answered Tuesday September 28 2004, 8:08 pm: Ooooh lordie I know exactly how you feel. When i was 13 and 14...I was 5'7 and every guy I ever liked was shorter then I was. You'll find that size really doesn't matter...but it just takes a little bit of getting used to! I bet the guy that asked you out took in to consideration that you were taller, and I bet he picked your great personality over your height, and you should do the same.
Good luck in your relationship babe and hope i helped!
