I really like this guy but hes too short.
Theyres this guy and he is in the year below me and he is lovely. He likes me and i like him but i dont really know how to act on it. I really do like him but he is a good few 3/4 inches shorter than me, and i dont want it to be awkward or wierd :/ im not sure it would work. H is absoloutly lovely and if he was taller than me i would have been in their by now…. i need some adivse on what to do and if im jus over reaccting about this height issue.
heck, its only inches, and there’s only one department those matter.
if you like him then go for him. it wont seem weird, if people point out hes shorter than you then just tell them that it doesn’t matter, and as others have pointed out he will grow.

yeahhh 3 or 4 inches. hes 15,, hes one of the oldest in his year though. Hes yr 10 im year 11.
it’ll be fine, i went out with a shorter guy and we lasted till he went to another school and we said we would bith meet new people so it would be better. go for it!!!!!
The fact that he is shorter than you is not “weird.” What’s weird is that you are even worried about his height. Please–choose your friends by their character, not by their dimensions!

I love him to bits im not judging him by his height. I was just concerned it might make thinsg wierd between us… and im also very self conscious about my height, i knwo it doesnt seem to tall but when everyone around you is shorter, it just makes me self conscious.
Actually… before i found out he liked me.. and we used to joke with each other, well i THOUGHT he was joking. When he would be like we should hook up (but i thought it was harmless banter) i used to say, haha sorry your too short for me :p until on his facbook he put “….. is too short apparently” and i felt really bad :/

I think thats a bit nasty to be honest. Everyone has a “taste” in guys,,,i like very tall ones that are like over 6 foot,, this will just be very wierd for me, as im not used to it. And im not the only one, i know hes a bit scared about having a taller lass.
If you really like him, go for it. It’s only 3/4 inch, not a big height difference like 6 inches. He’ll probably grow. If you really like as much as you say you do, height shouldn’t matter.

by that i dont mean 3 quarters of an inch. i mean 3 to 4 inches
look the short of it is, if he likes you and you like him then no matter how conscious you are you should be happy that you both found each other and that you are with a nice caring guy that genuinely likes you for who you are, even if you are taller than him. it takes a big man to swallow his pride and date a woman taller than himself. you guys will make a great couple especially seeing as you like each other.
I think you need to get over it, if you really like this guy. So what if he’s short?
There is nothing wrong with being short or being tall. It doesnt matter.
IT REALLY DOESNT. It’s all in your head.
Black, white, short, tall, skinny, thick, blue eyes, brown eyes, WHO CARES?!
He obviously doesnt.
Im short-ish 5′3″. So is my boyfriend. He’s 20 and 5′4″. He’s dated girls taller then him so he doesnt care when I still choose to wear platform punk boots that make me 5′8″. I wear them atleast 5 days a week. So ya i dont see whats the big deal. Its pretty obvious by my 5 inch punk boots that I dont care what anyone thinks of me, but you forreal shouldnt either. Life is too short. It really is.
This guy seems like a really nice guy. Youre going to regret it if you dont give this a chance.
I have the same problem, im 5′9 and the guy I like is 5′3, I know he will grow with time and all but it is quite akward when we are hugging and its like im the man protecting him not vice versa.
wow this is exactly my situation lol even the heights (im 5′8″, he’s 5′4″). and he’s a grade below. this helped a lot- it gave me the extra courage to get over the difference. you should date him.
im in the same situation, i know people think it might sound shallow or whatver but like serisously its hard becuase peoplemake fun of you and tease and like ughh theres nothing you can do, you could always be friends with benifits? i think thats what im going to do in the situation im in. i know you people might think im shallow and you guys are probably thinking well looks dont matter. im not going to say they dont matter but theres stuff that does matter more, but its just hard to see it that way.
im in the same position so i know EXACTLY how you feel the guy i like well he is the same age as me but WAY WAY WAY WAY smaller than me and i really like him and he really likes me we hug and stuff we’re like bff’s but im not too sure whether to go for it or not and i know what you mean about feeling self conscious about ur height im really tall and everyone is smaller than me it makes me feel weird and uncomfortable sometimes but yknow what im gonna go for it so should you lets see what happens
