Too Tall?

Dear Bro Jo,

I have heard many good things about your blogspot and I have had the urge to write you ever since I found out about what you do! I am 5'9" and have always struggled with hating that. I always fall for guys that are shorter than me. I recently started really liking this guy that is just a couple inches shorted than me. I found out tonight that he likes me. I want to date him, but I am afraid of dating someone that is shorter than me because I am a girl. Will it be too awkward or should I just stop being picky and get over it? I don't know why I'm struggling with this so much but i just can't get over it.

Please, Obi Wan, haha, have any advice?

Yours,

The Worrier


Dear Ms. Kidman,

Get over it.

OK, OK.

Seriously, 5'9" isn't THAT tall, and you like who you like.

My only other advice here is don't make your date feel self conscious about the height difference. No comments, don't lean on him . . . you get the idea.

Dates are more fun if we focus on what we have in common, not each other's flaws.

For that matter, that's good council for marriages, too.
