Funny. I'm 6 feet tall, and terribly lazy, but yet I can put my palms flat on the floor.
By practicing, you will build up muscles, and yes, you should be able to eventually reach your feet.
Don't strain yourself too hard!

Yes, some people are naturally very limber and some have to work at it. If I stretch daily, I can easily touch my toes, but if I stop for a week, I have to work back into it. There's no need to push yourself; regular stretching will yield small, gradual increases in your flexibility.

Will "they" loosen up? do you mean, your TOES loosen up?
Yes, if you stretch once a day, you will get much more flexible. The only exception is if you're obese.

definitely!
you'll make more progress if you stretch after you're body is warm. (working out is best, but a hot bath/shower will help some as well)
Also, it has a lot to do with your leg muscles, but your lower back plays a part in it as well. Be careful - it's easy to hurt yourself, but just something else to think about.

yes...stretch everyday for about a month and you will see a huge difference in your flexibility!!! if you continue stretching you might even end up being a flexible person!

Maybe your legs are too long and your arms way too short?
