"A few brave readers have revealed their true dating confessions--from &amp;quot;My boyfriend has no friends&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m a stay-at-home wife.&amp;quot; And today, we hear from a tall reader who is dating a not-so-tall guy. (Have you guys ever been taller than the guy you&amp;#x27;re dating? It feels a little weird.) Hear our reader&amp;#x27;s story....Our reader&amp;#x27;s story.... &amp;quot;My boyfriend is two inches shorter than I am. At first, I didn&amp;#x27;t think of him romantically since he was shorter than me--it seemed like he was off limits or something! But we were in the same group of friends and slowly began falling in love. As the months went by, it stopped bothering me that I was taller than he was. In fact, I often forgot! Plus, you&amp;#x27;re the same size in bed, right?! The only time it bothers me is when we&amp;#x27;re at a formal event, like a wedding. When I wear heels (which I love), I can be as much as four or five inches taller than he is; I feel lanky and awkward, and he feels short and squat. What&amp;#x27;s my solution? &amp;quot;The Lean.&amp;quot; As I&amp;#x27;m standing next to him, I&amp;#x27;ll put all my weight on one leg and kind of lean into my right hip, so I look casual but am also not standing totally upright. You taller girls out there know what I&amp;#x27;m talking about!&amp;quot; Tell me, dear readers, would you date a guy who is shorter than you are, or would it be a turn-off? (Be honest!) My friend Emma is taller than her husband, and they look awesome together. Have you dated a shorter guy before? If you&amp;#x27;re towering in heels, do you ever do &amp;quot;the lean&amp;quot;? How tall is your man compared to you? Are you almost the same height (like Alex and me) or is your man much taller? P.S. Craving more dating advice?
