I'm 5'4", and I really like this girl who's six inches taller than me (5'10"). We're very good friends, but she doesn't seem to be at all romantically interested in me.
Also, she has a very loose thing going with someone who's about 6'6". I'm afraid it'll become serious, though, as she mentioned to me today that things were starting to "heat up" between them.
Do you think I'm too short?
Is it fair to this other guy?
Would someone of that height ever take me seriously?
How should I ask her?
Opinions would be very much appreciated, especially from girls who are 5'10" and anyone who's been in the same or a similar position. Thank you very much.

Your height has no bearing what-so-ever, and you have no obligation to be fair to the other guy. However if she told you "things are heating up", it's not fair to her for you to ask her out now, it will just complicate her life. Wait, and if things don't work out for her and this other guy, ask her out at that point. You just ask....would you like to (fill in the blank)

I'm tall myself, and I don't usually find shorter boys attractive, unless they're only an inch or so shorter than me. But if there is a boy who's everything I want in a boy and he's short, it won't bug me. But I think you should be fair to the boy she's dating. You wouldn't want to spoil things between them. I doubt their relationship will last forever, so be there for her as a friend, and when the time comes, make your move, but not until they've broken up (and not immediately after they've broken up too. That's not being fair to your friend.)

I am 5'11 and my husband is 5'8. I don't know many people who are decent anyways who would judge someone based upon their height. I don't think someone is going to date a guy just because he is taller than she is. They say that good things come in small packages right?

There are some smart techniques that can narrow the height difference between you and your partner. I myself am short and had always been conscious about my height. I've told my story before with regards to one of the similar questions on this website. Please follow the link below for a more detailed answer:

Based on what you stated, it seems as if it would not be a good idea to ask her out. She is already dating someone. Besides, you guys are good friends. Your height has nothing to do with it.

I think you should give it a shot. You never know unitl you try. Its worth taking a chance and putting yourself out there. I'm sure she has a hard time dating being so tall.

Asking won't hurt. The worst that happens is you know a bit more of the truth.

Just ask her. She can only say yes or no, so prepare for the worst and if she says no, it won't hurt so much and if she says yes, then it will feel as great as ever.
