Using internet dating services is extremely practical. They afford you the opportunity to explore a lot of options in a relatively short period of time. You can browse someone details and learn a bit about them before you decide whether or not to communicate.
Unfortunately, this increase in pre-first date talking can lead to extra excitement over that first in-person encounter. Why is this unfortunate, you ask? Because extra excitement means higher expectations; and greater disappointment if things don't live up to your desires.
At times this disillusionment is caused by one very obvious, yet unexpected, attribute in your date. Though it can be funny, it's usually just frustrating and sometimes even a bit frightening. Not sure how to handle it when your date turns out to be shorter than you are? Read on!
This happens all the time in the dangerous land of online dating: you see a guy's profile and he looks really cute. Like, wanna bite his neck and meet his mom kinda cute. After enough back and forth messaging (hey, he can carry on a conversation too! Who knew?) you decide to meet for the big in-person date.
You look fabulous, your nerves are well hidden, you're excited and full of anticipation and then you see him; and he's not as tall as you thought he was. You weren't expecting that, not at all! It's the whole movie star thing; good looking men just appear taller on-screen.
I know this is a bit of a bummer. No matter how modern and evolved we woman say and think we are, we still like the feel like girls which often times includes being around a man who feels big and strong in comparison. I'm not saying all ladies are like this; I know plenty of awesome chicks who aren't particular about physical things at all.
But if you find yourself feeling disappointed with how your internet date measures up, take a breath and move forward. You're going on the darn date anyway, I don't care what you say. Don't be rude. And since you're there, you might as well remind yourself of all the things you already know you like about this person. And keep an open mind; you never know, you might end up thinking he's amazing despite his small stature.
I'm not going to say that attraction in a relationship doesn't count, of course it does. And if you don't feel it there's not much you can do about it. But give it a try. You may not end up with the love of your life, but you could end up with a wonderful new friend. - 32510
