Don't waste an opportunity. If you are attracted to her personality and you think she is cute, then go for it.

Reminds me of a great line... Climb her like a redwood.

I'm 5'8" and the girls I typically date are usually in the 5'4"-5'6" range. The tallest girl I have gotten was 5'11" and the shortest girl I had gotten was 4'11". I have problems with girls taller than me. I like looking down . . . . These days if a girl is my taller than me, I go for something else. If she's my height . . .it can be 'iffy'. Remember the sea is full of fish, find the one that you are most comfortable with. If height is a problem for you, then keep flirting but look elsewhere. It's always nice to keep your options open . . .you never know what might happen :)

any thoughts on this current situation?


Sorry bro, just go for it. Don't live with regrets.

The other day I was putzing around streetracing.org and there was a member pics thread and one of the pics was of a white girl and an asian guy and the girl was a full head taller than the guy. But you know what, they both looked happy and you and her might end up being happy together.

I think I would date a girl who was taller than me. But I haven't personally met one who was.

I once saw a girl who was a head taller than I am. And I am over 6'5".

damn, most every girl i know will NEVER date a guy that's shorter than her, which sucks, i'm 5'10", but it's hard because with heels, most of the girls i meet are as tall as me

So she's taller than you. Boo-frigging-hoo! What does it matter? Things like that only get to you if you are insecure about yourself. There's nothing wrong with the girl being taller. And now her boobies are at your eye-level, so you shouldn't have any problems looking at 'em :D.

She's funny, intelligent, and not afraid to speak her mind :bigthumb:
And there definitely is a mutual attraction between the both of us.

But there is one problem, i am 5'6 and she is roughly 6'2 (a whole head taller than i am, if not more :Q )
Normally, i don't mind girls been taller than me since i am a short guy. But is 7 in. to 8 in. way too much ?!?
(Big if) But Just imagine when i try kiss her when we are both standing up ... i will need to bring a ladder or something :(

any suggestions ... i am confused ...

HAahh...

Two words: platform shoes! j/k Seriously though, some tall people are attracted only to people much shorter. I am 6'4" and LOVE petite girls :p My wife is 5'2"; just right :D

I don't know how I would handle a girl taller then me.

<== 5'10

My gf is 5'1 and she can fit under my chin when we're standing and she's not wearing her regular shoes that give her another 3 inches.

I say go for it man, if you guys have fun then it'll work out great. If not, you'll always wonder.

I dated one girl in college who was a BB player, one night I saw her @ a club, ran up to her & jumped into her arms (I'm 5' 10"). She was a blast....

Many times tall women have self esteem issues, if you like her, it really doesn't make a difference, go for it;)

Regardless, she if is still human. She must be a nice girl if he likes her regardless of her size. Dont dwell on the size difference and just remember what u LIKE about her. Good luck, and have fun.

Don't let the height difference bother you, unless her nickname for you is "Shorty"

Do it man, do it! She likes you, and you obviously like her. So what does the height matter??? All that matter is that you like each other. Height has nothing to do with it.

Mmmmmm.... Tall girls....
