He likes me, but

There's a guy who lives near me, we don't go to the same school but we're both members of this local club so I see him there quite often. We've started talking a hell of a lot recently, and I think he has a crush on me. I've got some feelings for him too, but I'm far too shallow, this being because he's both younger and shorter than me, and I don't want to look like some sort of babysitter when we're together. If I wear flat shoes then he's only a couple of cms shorter, but if I wear heels then I find myself looking down at him when I talk to him.

How much younger is he than you?
Can't you see past age and height?

She already said that she considers herself shallow and is finding it hard to overcome it. I doubt there is much online forums can do for you, ultimately it will be you who has to overcome this "shallowness". You have heard the arguments (against shallowness) already I am sure, just sit down and think about it carefully.

I was is this situation - I'm at uni and im a 2nd yr, 20, and hes a 1st yr, 18. he was shorter than me- in the same way u describe. The thing is, he was soooo cute, and really really nice... but it was not that I couldnt see past those things, I tried, it was more because of those things, I didnt feel the 'spark'. There were another few other reasons way I broke up with him, but I don't think its entirely 'shallow'. Height and age are part of what makes somebody attractive- and completes the package. I wouldn't worry what other people think either. There are plenty of people who go out with guys shorter than them. :smile:
