The height difference is only in your and her minds. (is that proper grammar?) I have been on both sides of this situation as the short guy in a relationship with a tall girl (I have no regrets or complaints about it) and the love of my life is only 4'10" and I'm about 5'9". You quickly learn to adjust to the hieght difference and I wouldn't trade her for the world.:D

You lucky man-boy. I'm somewhere between 5'9" and 5'"10. I think taller women are sexy. I'd date a woman anywhere up to 6'6" any time.

wasnt there an episode of saved by the bell, where some short dude went to the dance with jessie spano? it was weird dancing, so the short guy stood on the stairs while they danced (the dance was at the Max diner thing)

Guess what? She's self-conscious about her height too! She's most likely spent her whole life feeling awkward about it.

But if everything else is right, there's no reason that a height difference should keep you apart. Go For It... and act like her height doesn't matter. Because pretty soon, it won't. You'll gradually forget about it, and you'll help her get over it too. Good luck.

<--- Dated a 5'9" girl. That wasn't enough, so next dated a 5'11" girl. Mmm mmm mmm. :)

BTW, I'm sure you realize what are now at mouth-level?
:D

Personally I don't like very tall girls, but now I may reconsider ;)

Leave it to ATOT for someone to be anxious about whether or not to consummate with a woman that is taller/shorter/thinner/heavier/prettier/uglier/smarter/dumber than him.

welll uh...maybe u should show us a picture (for reference purposes only of course) to see how she..i mean you two look together standing side by side. Or I don't know, maybe just a few pictures of her to uh...yes, determine if anything can be done.

Considering what has been said so far, i too must agree. If you like the girl enough then height shouldn't be any concern at all. Sure there maybe slight minor details to come but im sure you'll be able to take them as they come. And who knows when another opportunity like this shows up?

If you think you can handle it, go for it. I wouldn't be able to, I wouldnt mind a little taller, but not that tall.
