Bearing in mind hes very tall for our age and Im pretty short for our age. This was never a problem when we were just getting to know eachother but over the past few weeks we've become a lot closer and he's started saying he wishes I was taller or he was shorter. Obviously theres nothing we can do about his height and we can't make me grow any faster (if you know a way though I'd love to hear it!) We've been trying to work around the height difference so if he wants a hug, for instance, he sits down and I stand up but I think he's getting a bit bored of it to be honest. I just want to know if anyone else has been in a relationship with a massive height difference and any tips on how we can help each other out and hopefully become even closer without getting too annoyed that I'm so small or whatever!Thanks!xoxo Reply to this Question

 I'm 5'6 and I dated a guy who was 6'7 a couple of years ago. He had to bend over to give me a kiss, it was quite cute actually. I've always liked taller guys, makes me feel protected. However, we ended up breaking up for other reasons not due to the height differences. Really, it's one of those details that you're going to have to learn to accept and work around. Just like a girl would have to accept that her boyfriend is considerably inches shorter than she is. We can't change our height except adding 3-4 inches when we wear heels but then if you wore those at all times then you would just be torturing your feet. Continue to work through it as best as you can.

Are you sure this is the issue? If you are, then is it you who thinks it is a problem or the boy? I'm expecting it to be the boy? Anyway, if it is the boy, are you sure he is worth it? You may be thinking, of course he is but please take the time to read it. Do you think he finds it a big issue? If this boy is finding it difficult, then he is not worth it. He should love you no matter what. But if you both just want tips and advice on how to make it better then here are my suggestions.- Try and live with this. Pretend that this is not an issue.- When you are kissing, try tilting your head up and him tilting his head down? Also, rather then putting your arms around his neck, try waist? - I am sure that one day you will both level out. If he is quite tall for his age, he might stop growing soon and you will start growing. Hope I helped!

 My wife is over a foot shorter than me. It's more common than you think. Having to bend down for hugs or anything else like that shouldn't be a chore for being with someone you truly care about. My point is, height shouldn't matter in a relationship.
For the record, many tall guys like girls who are shorter. Ask any tall girl out there how hard it is to find a guy who is also tall.
