15 years old is still young. don't worry too much about your height because at the end of the day, how tall a guy is doesn't really matter compared to the person he is on the inside. yes, this sounds corney, but it's true. i would MUCH rather date a short man who could make me laugh and who cared about me and treated me right, than a 6 foot tall arrogant, thoughtless man, and i am sure many women would agree with me.
people also have different tastes. just as some people prefer blondes and others brunettes, some people prefer shorter and taller people. whose to say that the next girl you set your sights on isn't into shorter guys? dating a shorter man has advantages as well. (like not spraining your nexk when you lean in for a kiss).
maybe you should just let your personality take over next time you are around girls. make them see that you can be a funny, caring, fun guy..so what if you're "short". i'm sure the girl you want to date will want to be with you for who you are, not how tall you are.
so if you're not convinced yet that being "short" isn't a disadvantage, just remember: you're 15 and likely have still a few inches to go (don't drink coffee it stunts your growth haha just kidding). best of luck to you in your situation.

hi there, firstly- you are so young- it is too early to tell whether you are going to grow or stay the size you are- so please don't worry about the future when you don't know what it holds! :) As for the present.. height is a factor in some peoples attraction, but not in most peoples. One of my biggest crushes was with this really short guy. He was a bit like a hobbit! He kind of hunched over a bit too and had scruffy hair but he had girls always flirting with him cos he was lovely, and had a cheeky grin and he was kind of endearing. Attraction is not as simple as how you look. I bet you've met girls before who you've thought are stunning at first but maybe with some of them- the more you get to know them the uglier they may seem if there personalities arent nice or if they're sour, or bitchy or up tight. So i guess what I'm saying is look for your strong points. Look at all the good stuff you've got going for you and focus on that. If you focus on your height people may sense your insecurity or read it as something else. I say focus on all the good stuff you've got going for you- physically and otherwise. If you focus on your height you'll just start feeling small all over- and this will lead to feelings of inadequacy which might make you later not feel worthy of love etc. You are a great person i bet! So be assured. And you're so young!! Go have fun! Let other people do the worrying while you do the partying.
