I've met this girl over the summer at one of my classes @ the local community college.
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 ...
 

Tall girls are sooooooo hot. Too bad they are far and few between. 🙁

I just like the fact that I physically see eye to eye with them.
 
There is only a problem is either (or both) of you let there be one. I say it's cute. Rock on, little man. 😀 BTW, I'm sure you realize what are now at mouth-level? 😀

you can ... but i can't 🙁
(i got owned by genetics)

any thoughts on this current situation?
 
I don't know what to tell you on this one. I know it would definitely bother me, but I don't think you should worry about what other people are going to think. If it doesn't bother you or her that's all that matters. If she is going to make you feel inferior or uncomfortable with yourself everytime you're with her I don't think it would work out. Have you gone on any dates? Maybe you should give that a try and see how it goes, if it doesn't bother you then I would go for it. Life is too short to worry about what everyone else is going to say and you never know when that person could be gone. It could be tomorrow. At least give it a chance.
 
She 6'2'' and slender or 6'2'' and built like a refridgerator? Because the second one is like mating with a bear....it aint exactly a pleasant thing....(*recalls that horrid night while being molested by a grizzly...still has trouble sitting*)

she's tall and has slender figure, she is/was(??) a ballad dancer ... but what attracted me most to her is her personality (see above) 🙂

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.

 
If she is willing to date a "short" man, what's to worry 😉

Seriously though, I think some guys are insecure that they will look smaller or less masculine next to a tall woman. On the other hand I had a female friend that was very tall AND VERY fat who refused to date men shorter than her so she would "look smaller". She ended up with a really tall, rather emaciated looking guy that she felt made her look somehow more petite. The point is: if you are secure in your masculinity there should be no problem. I'm 5'8" and I ended up marrying the shortest (and BEST!) man I ever dated (also 5'8"). When I wear heels, I "tower" above him, and it doesn't bother him a bit. That kind of confidence is sexy if you ask me 🙂
 
I dated a tall girl in high school. She was incredibly attractive, but she was close to 6' 4". I think she never got dates because her height scared off a lot of guys, but like your position, I found her personality to be great, and she was hot, and I do mean incredibly hot. Too bad I could only date her for a little bit before we parted for college, I would have definitely enjoyed seeing her more.

JFur, thanks for the advice!
Normally, i do not mind girls been taller than i am, since most of the girls i have met are always taller than i am.
But 8 inches ... just imagine when she wears heels :Q

I went out with a guy who was 6'7", almost a foot taller. It did result in an ankle sprain when he lifted me too far into the air at a concert, but otherwise there was no major problem being 11" shorter 😉

I would ask her out in a heartbeat if i was 6'2 and she is 5'6. 🙂
But part of me is holding me back (mainly b'c of this insecuity of this great of a height differece ) 🙁

Then it's really just what other people will think? Ok, so one of you will have to bend slightly to kiss -- does it matter which one? Actually, a lot of guys would think you were cool for scoring the tall babe and women would wonder what "magic" you have to keep her. If you really like her, don't let her escape because of a little insecurity 🙂

Thanks for the advice JFur, i will go think about it for a couple days.
 
I'm 5'5" on a good day, A few inches taller I could deal with, but that tall, I would honestly have a hard time with it . If you don't let it bother you, then go for it.
