height problem

I'm talking to this really hot Puerto Rican girl these days and she's an absolute sweetheart. Here's the problem, she's about 5'9 and often wears heels and I'm only 5'6. This girl is around 6' tall with the heels so this is an awkward situation. I feel like I've got to get with this girl at some point, but this height difference is holding me back from asking her out. Help a short brother please!

if everything else is there, then height shouldnt hold you back

I love telling a girl to make sure she wears her heels when we go out

Just kidding man, in all seriousness any girl that is 6' tall has been seeing guys shorter than her for a long time now, so she's probably used to it by now. And I can't imagine something simple like a (pretty small) height difference being a sole reason that she would turn you down.

Good luck

Personally, I wouldnt. No matter what she says, I'd feel like a moron if my girl eclipses me by 3 inches. I know i have that same thought when i see dudes around town with girls who are much taller.

Stick to girls your hight or shorter

Good stuff, y'all. Fortunately for me, there are plenty of girls shorter than I am, but when such a sweet and pretty girl comes along like this, I can't let height become a factor. I was thinking about how awkward it would look, but how much does height really matter when you're horizontal?

It's her choice not yours on whether height matters... You're not getting any taller, so go for it and let her decide whether it matters or not... So long as you can accept the fact that people will always judge you as not being tall enough for her, because they will and you're okay with the height.

Make sure she's bendy and then you won't notice

Your height isn't the problem, its your confidence. I'm not so tall either, but i've learned that doesn't matter. Girls care more about confidence than physical features. And if they don't they you don't want them

OK, confidence is definitely more important than height, I agree.

Contradicting yourself already? Take a stance and stick to it because you can't say one thing and then say the total opposite.

definitely don't let it hold you back from asking her, whats the worst that can happen?

but, some girls are stuck up on the height, because of their own insecurities. an ex was 6 foot tall (without heels), and she was upfront that the first thing that attracted her to me was my height (6'4")

I qualified it with "personally" because it is how I manage my own dating requirements. Considering this is the topic of the thread, I thought I would share it - as we all do on this forum.

If walking around looking like your girls kid brother doesnt bother you, so be it. What I say shouldnt matter.

I'm not big on PDA. I like to keep things behind closed doors and if I hook up with this girl, I hope she's not into public loving. Private love is the way to go.

So is dating only good looking women regardless of what other casualties they bring to the table. Oddly enough, its pretty common. Dating is often shallow. This is not new information.

It's not really about confidence or what they think of you because of your height. At least for me. I'm in a similar situation and something about a taller girl just feels "off." Tough to explain really. Maybe it has something to do with the male "protective" thing or that there is the physical issue of the way people fit together. Ever tried to spoon a girl that's taller than you? I've been with taller girls and an inch or two won't matter but after that it gets kinda silly.

Just wanted to say "I feel your pain"

Good thing there are so many girls under our height, although our dating pool is smaller than most.

Thanks for the good word, but an inch or 2 is all it is in a sense. She's got about 2 and a half inches on me, but it's those damn heels that make her look like a giant. The girl also happens to be skinny so that takes away the amazon effect which is a good thing.

Seems like confidence to me, but i guess it's different for everyone.

I dunno, i guess it could play a part. I just know i tend to be more attracted to girls that are smaller... just like (often) they are more attracted to guys that are taller. Whatevs... plenty of girls out there of all shapes and sizes

While it wouldnt be a dealbreaker, I prefer a guy who is just tall enough that I can lean up against him and put my head under his chin. Feels right *shrug*

What fun is that? I mean making out in a line is a no no (in my book anyways) but doing it where you may get caught is fun!

Bro, if height is your only issue, then who cares. If your into her and shes into you call it a day. If it is that big of an issue, then tell her not to wear her heals when you two are out.

Besides, being 5'-6" im sure your ego makes up for it lol
