<p>Hey, just a question for you girls: would you date a guy who is shorter than you?
There is this guy who I like...but he is shorter than me --- not a lot but the difference is visible. We are <em>friends</em> right now, but there is a mutual attraction b/w us. I don't know what I will do when he asks me out...</p>
<p>by how many inches?</p>
<p>screw it, don't let something as trivial as height stop you guys.</p>
<p>ps. interesting username</p>
<p>No. But I'm five feet tall.</p>
<p>if you two truly like each other, then it would be pretty shallow to reject him if he asks you out because of height, in my opinion</p>
<p>He's shorter than you and your 5 ft tall!?!?! Sucks to be him.</p>
<p>I'm 5'2. Not a whole lot of guys are shorter than me.
That being said, I know what it's liked to be pointed at as the short kid. I'm not going to let height get in the way of a relationship.</p>
<p>I never understood that whole thing about the guy being shorter...</p>
<p>It might be because I'm 5' even, and being short, I know size doesn't matter. It's how you use it ;). That said if I meet a guy who is 4'11, so be it!</p>
<p>Also, my mom is taller than my dad...They were highschool sweethearts. Awww.</p>
<p>The short kid may be your soulmate. Don't let something as stupid as him being a couple inches shorter turn you off!</p>
<p>FrozenButt, why does it matter whether other girls would go out with a guy shorter than them? Do what you want to do.</p>
<p>Unless it makes you feel uncomfortable, go for it.</p>
<p>I'm 5'6, and freshman year I had a crush on a guy who was 5'3. He ended up turning me down, but I don't think my height had anything to do with it. I say go for it.</p>
<p>Does it really matter if he is 5 feet tall or 7 feet tall? If you like someone it should be based on more on height. Please think about whats really important</p>
<p>It's interesting so many of you tend to say it makes no impact. Being a rather short guy at only 5`5, I've been told a few times that they'd (the girl in question) would date me if I was taller.</p>
<p>If you're attracted to him, why would it matter?</p>
<p>If I were a 5 foot girl, which I'm not, I'd be much more concerned about dating guys that were 6'6" and over rather than 4'11 and under.</p>
<p>probably not</p>
<p>"Being a rather short guy at only 5`5, I've been told a few times that they'd (the girl in question) would date me if I was taller."</p>
<p>Maybe it's because your height wasn't the only problem ;).</p>
<p>Personally, I wouldn't date a guy that was shorter than me unless I really, really liked him. That's just me though, because I'm usually not attracted to guys that are shorter than me. You already admitted that you like this guy and that you are attracted to him. So what's the problem with going out with him? Nobody will think you're weird because of it.</p>

<p>Um...maybe, but what he said was that girls had specifically said to him on more than one occasion that they would have dated him if he had been taller.</p>
<p>well i'm 5'2 so no....</p>
<p>dating a shorter guy makes me feel uncomfortable in public, probably because im insecure. Well, not always. I'm 5'11, and the guy im talking about was 5'4ish, so i kinda felt uncomfortable. but ive dated guys that are an inch or two shorter and i didnt care. i guess it depends on how comfortable you are with yourself and how much you care about that person.</p>
