For The Women; What To Do When Your Internet Date Is Not As Tall As You Thought
Internet dating can be extremely practical. You get to explore many options at once, browse details about someone before you even decide to initiate communication with them and put your best foot forward as well.
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.
Sometimes this downfall can be really accentuated by one glaring, unexpected trait in your date. Sometimes it’s amusing, sometimes frustrating, sometimes even a little frightening. Read on to learn to how deal with one of the more common blind date surprises; your date is shorter than you are;
Firstly, this happens far more often than you might think in the land of online dating. After all, his profile was so cute! Cute as in you want to meet his mom! When he proved he could carry a conversation (a definite bonus), you made the decision to meet in person.
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.
You feel so letdown! You thought you were a modern woman but when it comes right down to the nitty gritty, you want your guy to look bigger and stronger than you. Not all women feel this way of course; I know plenty who don’t care in the least about their guy’s height.
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.
Of course attraction plays a large part in any relationship, there’s no getting around that. If you don’t feel that attraction, don’t feel bad about it. But do give it a shot. At the very least you could end up making a new friend, at most he could be the love of your life!
