Just like anyone else you deserve love, compassion, and kindness regardless of your height or not. There are many several billions of people on the earth and if you want to have a relationship. Then the girl/guy should love you for who you are and not the height or lack thereof that you possess. I understand that it can be frustrating to be judged off of something that can seem shallow but in this case I think that patience is absolute key. In the meantime, do things that you enjoy like sports, music, video games or cooking and maybe you can meet someone who shares your interests :).

That's a rough situation. Most women do prefer a guy taller, despite how "enlightened" they think they are. Your best bet is to get on all the online dating sites where you can filter results by height. Start asking out girls shorter than you. Also don't bring attention to your height but if a girl brings it up just laugh and pretend like you are totally content being short. Also remember that romantic relationships don't save us from the pain and suffering of life. Our mind would rather believe that happiness or contentment would come with some external change like a romantic relationship, but really its just a change of scenery. The struggle for peace is personal and psychological. So while you search for and/or find romance, remember that it's just as important to keep walking down your own personal path of peace and contentment. This might be religious, hobby oriented like painting, or therapy oriented like meditation and counseling.

Height doesn’t matter in a relationship. If you truly love each other that’s all that should matter. Nobody is too short or too tall, everyone is perfect the way they are. Maybe think of it differently? Maybe everyone else is too tall and you are the right size? Size shouldn’t matter anyway, a relationship shouldn’t be built around how tall both of you are but your connection, how you trust each other, understand each other and if you are there for each other. It should be love that matters, not height because at the end of the day they should love you for who you are.

Don't worry, there are some guys out there who prefer a girl that is on the shorter side. There are also some guys out there that are not very tall and who might be looking for a really short girl to date. Short girls have an advantage because there are some guys who find taller girls intimidating, and around short girls, guys might not feel as intimidated. Also, depending on your age, you might be able to grow a little more. Like I am female and I somehow managed to grow while I was in my early high school years. If you don't think you can grow taller, you can always wear heels on dates and that should help you out a bit.

Move on! Never feel the need to change yourself for someone else, no boyfriend, girlfriend or non-binary friend is worth the distress of trying to change yourself in anyway. Loving yourself is the key for someone to love you and vice versa, if they don't love you whole heartedly regardless of height then they aren't worth a second of your time.
Maybe you can talk to him about it and see if this is a superficial thing or not, but if he tries to make you feel bad for it then its not worth your time at all. Love yourself always.

Move on. I am working on this too we need to want those who want us. And not focus on those who do not accept us. Seriously do you want to date a guy who thinks you are too short? We all should try to find those who will exist with us as we are. We aren't going to be liked by everyone and that is okay. Just as this guy thinks you are too short, another will think you are just right. Your not a kid or a Little person are you? Because kids will grow and why are you dating if you are a kid. And i don't know much about Little People dating except what i saw on Little Women LA. But i bet there is a guy out there who wants you at any size. You are loveable don't let anything disrespect your person! =)

No one is never too short for a guy to date. If you feel like this because it has happened to you before than don't assume your the problem. If he will not except you for who you are than hes not the right guy. There are many guys out there that love you for who you are and not like you just because of your height. So stay true to who you are and believe that someone will love you for who you are. Never doubt or put your self down, make to always think positive and always think better wise.

I don’t think there’s anything like being too short to date! If height compatibility is a concern, trust me, there are other guys out there who’re shorter than average too! I’m sure they’re going through the same thoughts about how they’re going to find a partner if they’re only that tall. I’m a good 4’11 and I’m really small. People around me are at least 5’1 and I’m always hidden. But I managed to find a partner who’s 5’7, who’s smaller than average as well! But in all honesty, once a guy falls for you, he’ll look beyond your height. For all you know, he might be attracted to you for looking small too! :-) my partner likes that I’m small haha. All the best!

Did someone tell you that? I've never met a guy who had height requirements. You are not too short! Everyone has different preferences. There are definitely guys out there that like other short guys or girls. If someone told you that you are too short, that sounds like a personal problem on their part. Please do not assume that every guy thinks that way. However, if your height is just something that you're insecure about, you can try to reflect more on the traits you like about yourself and showing those off. A gratitude journal might be helpful to remember these and have a list to refer back to when you are feeling down.

If a guy tells you you are too short, it is probably not the real reason why. It's best to acknowledge he might just want to date someone else and you should find someone else to date as well. On the other hand if you are deeply in love with him and can't seem to let go, you can try the obvious and wear heels more often, he would know you're strongly into him. You can also appear taller braiding your hair as a top bun. Keep your back straight, your head up high. But most importantly act friendly and flirty and he might reconsider dating a short girl.
