I am a Freshmen in High school and I have this on guy that is a couple inches shorter then me. Well I am 5'6" and he is 5'0". He has asked me out 9 times by himself. He also had my friend Paula and his friend Lee ask me out for him , so thats another 2 times he has asked me out. Yeasterday he asked me out again, but this time he wrote it on a sticky note. " Will you go out with me?" It was just cute. I know he really likes me and ummm.... Well I don't feel the same for him. Anyway the question is should I go out with him? I mean the big problem is his height. He's really nice and I don't wanna lose him as a friend.

If you have reasons that are legitimate ones to you as to why you don't want to date him, such as the height and just not being very attracted to him...then don't go out with him. He'll only find out later that you were leading him on and then you will deffinitely loose the friendship. Just tell him that you are not looking to get into any relationships right now and that you really value his friendship.
Keep in mind....his height will change...he's still growing, they're almost all shorter than the girls at that age. I have to admit I chose not to date a guy based on height when I was younger....I've always regretted it.

The false norm that a man should be taller than his woman is part of male dominance or chauvinism. Are women falling for it too? Are women not willing to enjoy some female dominance for once? If the man, whose norm-imposed ego will likely be punctured, is not complaining, why are you who will enjoy some superiority complex complain?
I'm sure Adam was shorter than Eve! I supposed this because God loves congruity, and designed perfect matches and postures for us. Did he not design the mouth of the man while on his woman to be at par with the latter's "chest area"? This is achievable only when the man is shorter. God did not design a man to be hunched-back and suffer back pain trying to mouth-caress his wife's chest area.
Let us reverse the norm, and make women look for shorter men. With this trend initiated, subsequent babies coming into the world will obey the new order - taller females than males.

If you know that there is no way you would ever pursue a relationship with this person then don't go out on a date with him. It's not fair to you or him.
My dating advice: Never go out with someone, or continue to date someone, if there is something about that person you know you do not want to live with for the rest of your life.
The whole purpose in dating is to find a person to spend the rest of your life with.
If you really care for this person as a friend, the worst thing you can do to your relationship is to give him false hope by going on a date.
I had a similiar problem in college. A boy who was 7'6" asked me out repeatedly. I liked him as a person but I was not interested in dating him. He was relentless. One day when I arrived at my dorm. He scooped me up in his arms and told me he wasn't going to let me down until I said I would go out with him. My reply was: "Well, you are going to be carrying me around a really long time." He stood there at the entrance to the dorm with me in his arms for more than 30 min. before he gave up. The good news was, even though he was disappointed, we separated as friends and he moved on to another girl who really wanted his attention. Had I caved in I would have given him the wrong message and ultimately I would have hurt him more in the long run.
Keep him as a friend by refraining from a date with him.

I can tell you from experience that you will indeed feel a tad insecure and uncomfterble. I dated a guy shorter than me and i ended up breaking it off. Not only because of his height though. But if you feel right with this person, kudos. If you start looking for defects in him its not going to work out, because youll only want to find defects on him because you yourself feel insecure when with said person. Its up to you i guess.But remember to take under consideration how you really feel w/him. Afterall what is worth more whats on the outside or what he makes you feel?
