Well, it's unlikely you'd grow that tall to 5'10. I don't know how tall you will be, how tall are your parents? I'd say at most if your lucky you might be 5'5, but that's probaly not a very high chance, unless you haven't hit growth spurt yet. I'd say 5'3 is going to be your maximum adult height.
Don't worry, as long as you're a good, outgoing and likable guy, it won't matter with you and women. Likability does effect a women you know, it can make them think they are much more physically attracted to you.

You can't "make yourself taller" hun, sorry.
Genetic's are the only thing that would/could help you. If your mother and/or father are tall hopefully you will take after them, or maybe even their parents/your Grandparents. But at age 17 that you are saying you are at, I don't know if you will grow much taller than you already are.
Try some lifts in your shoes to make you appear a couple of inches taller maybe?

Sleep(hormone release during sleeping periods help you bolster your height)
genetic (depend on the size of your family, your parent may be the short one in their family)
Nutrition(Eat enough, and healthy food. Calcium help build bones and stuffs)
Puberty(if you haven't had it yet, you'll be really tall, but if you haven't then i don't know... never pay enough attention to the books about those detail)
exercise help build your muscle, but be sure you know what you are doing because doing it wrong can make life very hard for you.
may be some more stuff but that's all i got right now
Good luck.

There is surgery to stretch your bones but it is very painful. It all depends on your parents genes. Guys stop growing around 18 years old. You just have to let nature take its course.

Don't worry about it. There's nothing you can do and you'll go crazy if you worry about it. You could still grow for another two or three years, possibly.
