Dress more meture and get them to notice you as an older person. Just because you are short doesn't mean anything many girls find it attractive and eventually you will grow taller and all the girls will be chaseing you but right now there is a girl right under your nose and you don't even know that she is there. Look around and open your eyes then you will see the one that truly loves you for who you are and not for your hight.

i don't think it's about being mature. you are small, that's not your fault. i don't know. I find myself going after short guys. You've got to tell them to stop. Tell them you don't like it when they do that. Back away if they try to pat your head. If they still don't understand.. just walk away. Sooner or later, they will get it.

You've got to be more confident. I'll take 'teddy bear' as being cute. Use being cute to your advantage. Be really sweet to girls.

Or you can try this different approach. Ask a girl how you can make yourself seem dating material. Since she's probably around your age.. she would know what type of guys.. girls are after. She would most likely give you tips and such.

but that doesn't necessary mean you have to change completely. :] it could give you an idea.

Just be yourself, soon or maybe in a year or two.. you won't be a teddy bear. Some girls are blind and don't realize something good in front of them.

You've also got to put yourself out there. Ask for numbers and invite a girl to hang out.. It doesn't mean it has to be a date but you know it just makes yourself look good. You'll have girls hanging out with you as friends and will probably have them talk about you to other people. Someone would find you dating material that way.

I don't think it's so much not being mature, just the way you handle yourself. Embrace your "smallness". Find a cute girl that is also small. That way you won't feel like a waif with a girl but you don't have to be a sumo wrestler either. Act confident and talk to girls like it doesn't matter whether they like you or not. When you do that, you won't seem desperate, like you NEED girl to make you feel big.
If you need any more help, let me know.

I too am small. and I get things like that from guys a lot, not so much the teddy bear look, but the little sister one. Just, be yourself, you know, don't let it get to you so much. Or if you're good at something, athletics, playing guitar/drums/something, singing, .. whatever, I don't want to say flaunt it, that wouldn't be good. but Make it known. Achieve something and let people know about it without Throwing it in their face every time you're talking to someone. Am I making sense? I hope I am.
Yeah. People tend to treat you as a bigger person when they know your accomplishments.

Hope I helped

ohmygosh im one of those girls who looks at people like teddy bears. i never knew how it made people feel. sorry off topic haha.

Become friends with all the girls. they will be more comfortable around you because your smaller haha so use it to your advantage. once you get to know them, ask them out. if they say no, ask someone else. Girls want to date guys who are confident. Just dont be mean to a girl EVER.

im sorry if this wasnt what you were looking for, its a hard question.
