writes:I am concerned about my 29 year old son. He is a lawyer, very well-educated and a sensitive, interesting person. He has a pleasant face which looks very charming when he smiles. He's witty and funny, thoughtful and generous. He is short (5feet 6) and this bothers him enormously. He has never really been able to come to terms with it. He is convinced that this is the reason why he has never had a long-term relationship with a girl. (He has had a considerable number of casual encounters with girls, but they never lead anywhere. After his latest rejection, (she wanted to be "just friends"), he is very deeply depressed. I feel so sorry for him. What can he do?

Hey - if it helps your son - tell him that I am madly in love with a man who is smaller than 5 ft 6 (because he's smaller than me and I'm about 5 ft 6)!!.If you really want someone - height will not matter! - Unfortunately for me though - this man is unavailable - so in effect he has TWO women fighting over him!!

 I don't think a mum can help a son to find that special someone, its something he needs to do on his own. Everyone feels depressed when they get rejected by someone, its only natural. It took me about 3 months to get over a friend who I fell for, they just wanted to be friends as well.If he is so sure about his height being the problem, why doesn't he try online dating? he can put in his profile how tall he is and there are some very attractive young ladies who use online dating sites.

Well it sounds like you two are very close if he is telling you about his one night stands.
I think you just have to shove him out there in to the world and let him fend for himself. There are plenty of girls out there who would look up to a 5'6'' guy. I really don't think his height should bother him.
He could always wait for the dust to settle with his last girlfriend and then just ask her for an honest critique of why their relationship didn't work.
"just wanting to be friends" is just a phrase you use to soften the blow. It's a nicer way of saying "It's over, I don't like you."
Good Luck!! xx
