I'm 5'8" barefoot.
I've been talking to a girl that is 5'10" We've been out only once. We seen to really have great chemistry. I have no problem dating taller chicks, but just wanted to know if you think dating a guy 2 inches shorter makes you feel weired?

I'm 5'10 - I have only dated 1 guy shorter than me, I have answered this question before (not from you) - I didn't care that he was shorter than me, I really loved him. I am initially attracted to looks, that's just natural, but it all comes down to chemistry and personality. Good luck!

I am 5'10" too and I really prefer guys who are taller. It's bad enough that practically all of my female friends are shorter than me - I don't want my significant other to be shorter than me too. Having said that, everyone's different, and if the girl doesn't mind you being shorter, then don't make a big deal of it, okay.

I am sure this tall girl is absolutely fine with your height, and she is just as concerned that her being tall is not presenting a challenge to your ego.
If the short guy, makes his being shorter than me an issue of concern then the discomfort and the lack of confidence within the relationship oozes pheramones of fear in the same way a dog knows people are scared, and it charges the air with paranoia that makes for this question to come up over and over again. That is tiring and that wears down the ability for a short guy / tall girl relationship to survive.
I amd 5'10", and before getting married, I dated men shorter than myself. I can tell you from experience, height does not determine emotional feelings for someone - but for me, it did create a lot of challenges.
For example: I used to stare longinly in the shoe stores as I intentionally bypassed the perfect shoe to go with my outfit simply because adding 3 more inches in heels would make the guy in question feel uncomfortable, and add to the weird stares and comments. To minimize that, I would remind myself to ignore the fact that the uglier flat shoe was worth this incredible guy.
The other thing was, unless the man had incredible self confidence (not cocky bravado), I hated when in addition to my own challenges, I now had to massage his ego to help him not worry about whether his being short was a problem for me. If I had decided to be in this relationship - then the one thing that wore me down really fast was adding to the burden of convincing this man that I really was OK with this.
The most successful relationship I had with a shorter man was with the one where this man was powerful in his own world, comfortable financially, and the rest of those around him did not care what he did because everything he did was on their list to copy or emulate. This guy loved it when I wore heels because (a) heels are sexy and (b) the more fabulous I looked, the more envious his friends that HE got me.
While I must admit that it is easier for anyone to be confident in life when you are rich and famous in your circle - the fact is, this man he was confident because of why he became rich and famous in the first place - he knew what he wanted, and he went after it - in academics, in business, in everything. That inner confidence lead to the results in his life.
I have come across many short guys with hang ups because of their height. They body build to the point that they look like mini monsters - and that is about as attractive as a man who is bald in the front growing mid-back length hair. Over compensation for an area they are not confident in.
I am not sure I speak for all tall women, but it was my experience and the same talk I give my 6'0" 16 year old daughter, that inner confidence will come through that those around will find it easy to accept the shorter guy / taller girl relationship as absolutely normal.

if there is chemistry.. not at all. Altho girls saying YES to weirdness, dont listen to them man. They are just jealous cuz they are probably like 5'2 and liek a foot shorter than every guy they talk to.

Dude, as long as you can keep them happy there's not gonna be any problem. You should worry, only if you were to be a midget. But now, you are 5.8 so dont worry about anything and ignore negative answers to yer question.

Of course not. My best friend is 6 and his bf is 5 5. Everything is ok and there isn't any problem about that.

truth?
it would make me feel a bit uncomfortable
although i am tall, i still like to wear high heels
and i like to feel safe, and protected, when he puts his arms around me, i like a man, to be a man. and i think if i had to look down to him to kiss him, well, it just wouldnt feel right

Not necessarily, as long as they do not have a complex about being short, and they are nice.
