If your height bothers you, and you walk around feeling self-conscious and intimidated, people will respond to your self-consciousness and your feelings of inadequacy. If, on the other hand, you know that you're a good and attractive person and project that image to the world, people will respond to you in a different way.
You have to be confident in who you are, that's what others see most... not how tall you are. So hang in there. You will find someone who loves you for who you are.

Value yourself. There is no such thing as too short to date. You might have been told that by someone but it is not indicative of you as a person. Focus on values, familiarities and connection rather than worrying about the physical so much as a deal breaker. You are who you are. Love yourself and you will soon find someone who loves you. For who you are, not what a number on a measuring tape says!!

If a guy is saying that you are not good enough for them solely based on the fact that they believe you are not tall enough for you, then they are not someone who you should worry about. You are perfect as you are. I am 5 foot and 1 inch, while I do consider myself short , I believe that some day I will find someone who loves me as I am. I believe this is the same case for you!

Honestly, I can relate to this situation a lot. I'm currently 5'0. But before I was 4'8 or 4'11 for the longest time. I was always called out for being the shortest person. They always said,"You're never going to get a guy if you don't grow." It hurt a lot but fortunately, that wasn't the case. I ended up finding the best guy who accepted me for who I was and it didn't matter to him how short I was/am. He cared for me and my personality and I can bet that you will find your own guy who will accept you for who you are. Also, just know that there is no such thing as being too short to date. If a guy tells you that you're too short for him, then prove him wrong. Find another guy and tell that guy that your height doesn't matter. What shines about you is your personality and that's all that matters.

There is never TOO much. You can never be TOO short or TOO tall, because there will always be someone who looks past what you consider your superficial flaws, and may even see them as a positive thing. In order to find the right guy, you need not do anything but be yourself. Sooner or later, he'll come running.

Your physical components should never determine your compatibility. Find someone who disregards your physical characteristics, for they will fade, but personalities get sharper.

I have many answers for this:
1. This is the answer, you might want to hear. Let's be practical, you have to work on your height. Try exercises that help like jogging, jumping jacks etc. Make a schedule and try to work on your height rather than whinning about it. Because while whinning seems like an easy option, it never helps.
2. This is something you might not want to hear but, I feel this one is worth reading.
"Too short" isn't a bad thing. It seems bad because *you* believe it is, or because someone else *made* you believe it is. Have confidence in yourself. Confidence, this is something which can bag you any guy no matter how short/tall you are. Because if you peek inside the mind of almost any guy, you will conclude, confidence is something each of them likes in a girl.
3. On a philosophical note, I would like to highlight the point that, why do you think changing yourself would bring you good guys or relationships? Those almost never work. If someone actually liked you, they would like you for whatever you are. No matter how short, tall, skinny, fat you are. Nothing matters when it comes to actual feelings. Let's say, someone would like you when you are tall enough, but don't you think it would be conditional? Don't you think there would be a voice bugging you always that he likes you because you are "tall enough" which you weren't initially and naturally?
4. Also, I have noticed many people prefer short girls over tall ones.
I have answered differently for this single question since, I would like to give you the freedom of choosing your answer. Do what *you* think is right for yourself.

Your physical characteristics do not determine your prospects. You are more than your height. Celebrate and focus on the positive characteristics about yourself, and what makes you unique, The right person will come along and see you for who you are and will love and cherish you. Stay positive!

Nothing. You shouldn't be doing anything. Either he accepts you for your height or he doesn't. Either way, you're NOT obliged to change whatsoever.
