There's not much you can do about your height but there is definitely someone who will like you and want to date you even with your height. There are no rules for dating but there are preferences and you are someone's. You just need to appreciate yourself more and work on your personality, it'll draw people close. There are tall guys out there who are still very lonely because the only thing complimentary about them is their height. There's so much more to dating, more than physique, you need to be more than a short guy to get someone to date you so work on yourself

I'm also very short, but honestly I can tell you, if it's with the right person, it makes it all the better! Also, often guys like short girls. If it's a specific person, have you tried talking to them about it? Sharing our insecurities often helps, you often end up discovering that people might have no clue you were insecure about one thing or another! So it's always best to try and speak directly about it. If you just feel a bit unsure for yourself, you might want to try and wear heels to boost your self esteem a bit, but with time you could consider dealing with that. If the person you're next to doesn't like you being short, consider if they actually really appreciate you for who you are, and if not, are you really happy with them?

Oh c'mon you are not too short to date! What does that mean? Trust me, I'm short and I'm happily engaged. Height doen't matter at all. You should stop being insecure about that, and focus about yourself, your interiority and how much you love o like the other one. Show your feelings, and everything will be good. Then, if she/he is the right person for you, I assure you that you two will create a wonderful relationship. But if the date won't be good enough, or if the other one tries to make you feel unconfortable about your height, please go on. Ignore him/her and keep loving yourself.

I think that should be more up to them. Not to say your opinion doesn't count. More to say, don't count yourself out just because of how you feel. I'm only 5'5" women often reject men who are shorter than them. However if I say I'm too short, I'm counting out most women. I do often feel insecure about my height so I can certainly understand that feeling but I can honestly say height doesn't matter. It's how much love you have to give that matters. Loving someone is more important than your height or weight or IQ, even your nature being masculine or feminine doesn't matter. All that matters is loving the other person.

We all experience some kind of insecurity when it comes to our appearance. Don't get bogged down in the little imperfections that may describe your looks - its not who you are, and in the grand scheme of things it matters very little. You are just as worthy of being loved and adored as anyone else on this planet and the person worth being with will help you understand that. If this dosen't help, then at the very least I can tell you that when it comes to problems of size, guys can be very understanding ;) Take my word for it - you're preaching to the choir here love.

Wear a cute pair of heels! This will help increase your height which may help get rid of this obstacle. High heals can also help shape your figure and are a turn on For some men. I am much shorter than my husband but I wear heels to help make pictures look more natural. This also gives me an excuse to get pedicures and keep my toes looking nice. My husband appreciates this a lot too. Being short has gone from a disadvantage to something that has actually helped our relationship a lot. Plus being short is pretty fun :)

Confidence is attractive in a person! It not really about what you look like but about being confident in yourself. Look up confident building activities. Practice being more confident. You do not always have to feel confident to be confident. Build up your self esteem and confidence by talking to yourself and saying positive things to help you feel better about yourself. Everyone has great qualities. Point out all your great qualities and highlight them. Remember to speak out loud so that you can hear the positive words about yourself. When you believe great things about yourself others will also believe great things about you.

Is this something you have communicated with your partner or people around you? Feeling loved and supportive in your relationship will help you figure out if this is something that needs a solution. Take a moment in thinking what are things you can and cannot change about yourself. Remember who you are and what is important in your life. I understand that you may feel confused and might be doubting your height. Remember your height does not define who you are. When people are dating they are searching for various things, not only physical attributes. Believe in yourself and find the right person.

My opinion is that being short should not be a practical reason not do date someone as that has nothing to do with your personality which is mostly what makes a good relationship work. Therefore anyone that won't date you just because of you height is not the best person for you to form a connection with as they seem only to be interested in your looks. I don't think you need to do anything except show him how great you are and be confident in yourself and your own looks, you are fabulous in your own way and being short is part of who you are.

i understand that you feel insecure about your height, but let me tell you, i know a lot of guys who are shorter than their girlfriends and they are doing very well as couples, it's never about height, weight or any physical component if you love and value your self, be sure that everyone will do the same to you, we are more than just bodies, stay confident and trust yourself, and if someone really loves it's because of who you are, not because you're tall or because you have abs whataver, i'm sure you will find that one, stay positive
