At first I'd never been with anybody shorter than me and always said I want someone taller than me..we've been together 2 years and have a 4 month old baby together. I wouldn't change him for anything now.
I love him and don't mind about his height and if anyone thinks he should be taller they are stupid. If you like him go for it :) who cares how tall he is? He clearly doesn't mind being shorter.

 A boy that you really like asked you out... it would be weird if you turned him down. His height is just a number! You don`t get a chance to be happy every day, don`t throw it away because you`re worried what metiche (nosy) people think.
I am in NO way racist, I am only attracted to Mexican guys. I live in Mexico but I look different than most people here because I have Irish ancestry, and a couple of the guys I have dated commented that I was taller... I hadn´t even noticed. I despise racism and mean no offense but a lot of people here have said, ``you`re tall``. Back home I`m just average. I couldn`t care less, though, I think guys from here are amazing. I have totally dated people who were a bit shorter but I could not care less.

 Everyone does NOT say the boy has to be taller than the girl. I have some very good friends, couples, in which the man is shorter than the woman. They are great together and wonderfully in love. The only people who think it's a problem are 'short' in the brains department.
This is one of those moments in life.... when you get to decide if your friends are going to decide how you run your life, or if YOU are going to decide... it's a big moment, and wonderfully liberating. You are at about the right age. I say, go for it. If anyone laughs at you, you will know that they are clueless, immature and stupid. It's a great way to filter out those kinds of people, but it does involve you being impervious to peer pressure for the time being. The question is, do you have that level of self-confidence yet? Hm? I'm betting you do!
Go for it!

 It only matters if it matters to you. I think you could miss out on something great if you get all hightist (is that a word? bah, doesn't matter) on him. Some people may comment, but to hell with them, it's your life. If you like him, then go for it!
