I'm 5'9 and all the guys that seem to like me at like 5'0 or 5'4 somewhere in there. But I mean I've found a great guy who's 6'0 in 7th grade. And we both really like each other. So it's not all about looks but I deffinantly know how you feel about it. Why do guys have to be so dang short right?? lol. Well, just give it a shot for a while longer, and then if it still bothers you talk to him about it. Maybe you two could just be "friends with VERY special benifits" or something. ?? I hope this helped.
UHOHxOMFG answered Friday February 17 2006, 11:07 pm: awe. dont worry about it babe. just keep telling yourself that you really like him and looks arent everything. yeah everyone wants this tall dark and hansome guy but only few are lucky to find those but be happy that you have someone you really like and try to look past the height. everytime you feel like weird or worried about it just remember that you really really like him and that he will eventually grow <3 [ UHOHxOMFG's advice column | Ask UHOHxOMFG A Question ]
sizzlinmandolin answered Friday February 17 2006, 10:13 pm: He's only in 7th grade. He will grow. Give him a year or two and he'll catch up to you very quickly. In other words, don't end the relationship for that reason because it's not that big of a deal, especially since it's not permanant.
I see where you're coming from about a guy being shorter than you. As much as people say all the time how appearances don't matter, it's not true. If there were two guys out there that were exactly the same anybody would pick the cuter one. People aren't all that different from each other. Personalities can't vary too much because of the restrictions put on people by society. Plus, have you seen Hitch? Yeah, Allegra never would have noticed the man of her dreams for the very reason that he wasn't good looking. That's how life is. Even people that go for personality, initially and naturally they notice and pay more attention to people they find attractive.
Again though, your boyfriend will grow and it's not like you haven't noticed him. Give it some time. Even if he doesn't get any taller, which would be really weird, it's pretty easy to get used to. My boyfriend is only slightly taller than me as you can kind of tell from my picture. I've gotten so I can even wear 4 inch heels. Being taller than him doesn't matter because I've fallen way too much in love with him to even notice it anymore. It sounds like your guy is definitely worth keeping. Good luck.

vilelove answered Friday February 17 2006, 9:10 pm: Hey. I don't know what to say but when I read what you wrote there was actually something I did want to say. You mentioned about how you pictured your first love and stuff. Well him being 5'0 and you being tallen is kind if cool. I mean, at first it'll be weird (I personally wouldn't do it cause subconsciously it does matter to me) but then you'll get used to it (you may be kind of used to it by now). Anyway, if anyting ever goes wrong and you guys break up (which most high school- especially middle school-relationships end up doing) one day when you're far over it and you think back to your 'first love' it'll be cute. It was... unique. Something you could only have with him. A lot of times the image represents the people. This physical differences that make you guys a unique coupple relfect non physical differences. And you'll also always remember how you felt about this guy. How he took away the wrong in everything that wasn't right. And how much you liked him and he liked you and how happy it made you guys. Take it from me, I lost the guy I came closest to loving and I wish we had that again... when I liked him and he liked me back. Regardless height/apperances/what other people think/etc. you guys have that and that is nothing to take for granted.
I'm sorry I wrote so long, it's a bad habbit or something. Well good luck and I hope you guys are really happy. [ vilelove's advice column | Ask vilelove A Question ]
