I've known a really nice guy for years now.. we've been out of touch for a while and recently ran into eachother online. So, I remembered that he is shorter than me- we talked about it and he says he doesn't care. I don't either. Our first date is quicky approaching and I'm sooo nervous that once we see eachother for the first time in a long time that height might be an issue. What's ur take on this? Should I be this nervous or should I just take his word that it's not an issue? I'm 5'11 and he's 5'9"... We have been talking on the phone and texting and IMing a lot and we are very compatible in that sense, I just hope we are as physically compatible as we are in other ways.

As a 5'5" friend of mine once said, everyone's the same height lying down! Kidding aside, height should only be a problem if you make it one. If he's not hung up on it then congratulate yourself on finding a confident guy who doesn't care about such trivial matters. After all, it's not as if he's unnaturally short- you just happen to be blessed with a few more inches than most women! Lots of guys love tall women.

Well, since you are so tall for a female you're going to run into that problem a lot. If he does not care and you claim you don't either there should be no issue. I personally prefer a guy to be taller than I am - but I'm 5'7" so that generally is not a problem. If I were you I would not throw away all the other good stuff just because you are taller than him.

if he's a confident man and you are a confident woman then who cares about height. My situation is the same, I am 5'11" and my husband is 5'9 1/2" and we've been happily married for almost 20 years. I still wear three inch heels when we go out dancing, and he loves it. Don't worry about height, you might be passing up the opportunity of a lifetime of happiness.

Well, if you two really like each other, height shouldn't be a problem. I have always heard that taller women and shorter men couples don't work. It seems to be true. But, my sister is married to a man shorter than her buy about and inch in a half. They have been married almost four years and going strong. She doesn't mind that she is a bit taller. But, she doesn't wear heels around him either. If you are already having a complex about it, my guess is it's going to bother you too much if you start dating.

If he's already said Height isn't a problem for him, knowing you're taller..If it's ok with you.....then what's the problem.?? A friend of mine is taller by a tad also than her boyfriend, she said the only thing that bothers her bout it all is that she doesn't feel comfy in high heels when she's with him. She enjoys wearing high heels and he enjoys her in them...but with the height difference being more so in heels..she chooses to wear flats*
He seems like he's a nice guy and i'm sure your date will be perfect* You said you both are compatable and he's already told you upfront...this height* thing...doesn't make a difference to him* Just enjoy your time together*~ and be Yourself* GOODLUCK*

Height shouldn't be an issue at all in a relationship. I'm 5'2" and my boyfriend is 6'4". As long as you guys are happy with each other, then it shouldn't matter. Best of Luck!!

He wasnt what you have been particularly searching for and hes a great guy yet your uncertain because of the fact of your doubt of him. possible shop seeing him untill your doubt clears then youll make your option to stay or too go away. (You had a severe expectancy then he didnt meet as much as them and your balancing that hes a competent guy over what you particularly want)

if you truly care for someone height, weight, or race does not matter to your heart. Perhaps you don't really care for this person. Don't let other people tell you how to feel about someone, afterall it is your relationship not theirs. Good Luck

Don't wear high heels, it'll make the difference worse, obviously. But as long as you choose not to care, then it won't be a problem. Just calm down, good luck on your date!

No it doesnt matter at all. However for me it is an issue. I cant be close to someone who is smaller than me. I just feel like i am the guy trying to cuddle with the woman. WEIRD! = )
