Feel so short next to boyfriend.

[SHORTgirl01]

Hi I didnt know where to post this but need fashion advice.
I am 4'11, boyfriend is 5'10,
I always wear some form of heel because it makes me feel more confident feeling taller.
Anyway, were going for a walk after and then bowling which means i have to get the flats out.
I'm thinking of wearing white pumps with skinny jeans, but I feel so insecure with flats. I feel like a child when im actually 24. But i cant go for a walk in heels, not even kitten ones.

Any other short girls out there got encouraging words for a short girl who hates flats?

Shorter boyfriend? Realistically, what is there you can do?

Are you the teeny tiny cutey ikkle poster ?

Excuse me?

Not sure if you want replies from women too, rather than just girls, but I'm a 5'1.5" woman, dh is a 6'2" man. I wear flats most of the time. I've never had an issue with it. I have a 5'0 friend whose dh is 6'4. She also wears flats a lot of the time. It's not an issue unless you make it one

You could always try a rack

My dp was a foot taller than me, I was tiny next to him but who the hell cares anyway?
I always go for taller guys, I prefer how they can pick me up If you know what I mean

fgs you're short - he's not exactly gangly. At your height, most blokes are going to be much taller. Just get on with it.

Are you my DS2's girlfriend?

Your boyfriend isn't particularly tall for a man, it could be worse.
If it is fashion advice you want rather than someone to tell you how cute you must be, head over to Style and Beauty.

I’m a 5ft 1 woman, my husband is 6ft 2. It’s never been an issue (but I’ve had to abandon my umbrellas)

As a tall woman, find yourself a shorter boyfriend if its such an issue.

I’m 6ft, 6ft 2 in my new platform dr martens, my boyfriend is 5’10, we just don’t care.

Stuff like that used to bother me, to the point where I wouldn’t date a man unless they were a good 3 inches taller than me, and I think it’s even more awkward being a tall woman than a short woman, but I just stopped caring in the end. It’s unimportant.

I used to go out with someone who was 6ft 6 - I'm 5ft 1. Hearing each other in a crowded pub was the only problem. I can't walk in heels so never thought about it.

This is a non issue. Yes you are short but he is average height so a very standard difference. Just wear what you want. Like the previous poster my ex was 6 ft 6 and I'm 5 ft 1. My partner is 6 ft 3 and I don't even think about it any more.

Now you realise it's a problem?
Get a short bf under 5ft 5 then.

I'm not really sure why this is an issue. I'm 5"2 DP 6"3. Have you never encountered a taller person before?

Get a shorter boyfriend or some chunky trainers if it bothers you.

I'm 5ft1 and husband is 6ft3, I did feel self conscious at first but I couldn't care less now, nobody will even give it a second thought. Life besomes much easier if you don't worry about these kinds of things, just enjoy yourself

Oh, and at 24 you are a woman not a girl, there won't be many girls on here either.

I am 5ft 7. Always felt quite tall. Until I met dp who is 6ft 4.

It just becomes normal. If you cant move passed it, you need to find a shorter boyfriend.

I'm 5'1 and always feel anything taller than 5'10 is probably a bit tall for me. Just based on little things like holding hands walking down the street and not feeling like I'm reaching up ect... xD

But what's a few inches if you really like the person? I mean if it bothers you so much what other people might think on one night out bowling...maybe he just isn't right for you.

I'm 5ft. And a woman. DH is 6ft1. I only wear heels on a night out (almost never). We can't look that ridiculous as we've never had people point and laugh.

If it really bothers you then find a shorter boyfriend. But look on the bright side..... People might point out how teeny tiny and cute you are?

I have the opposite issue - DH is 5ft 7 and so am I in flats so in my heels I become 5ft 10. Married for ten years and not going to lie it still bothers me TIL this day but I have to stop the vanity and remember he's amazing and that it's pretty pathetic to consider someone's height if you're compatible and everything else.

Why is that a problem? Seriously, Im 5'2" My dp is 6'2" i love his height and how secured i feel near him as he is a tower compared to me. My ex was about an inch taller than me. And i would tower over him in heels. Wasnt an issue either. Your boyfriend is not tall at all for a man and youre short but not an elf! first world problems 101. Wear whatever youre comfortable wearing and enjoy your time with him, lifes too short!

Life’s too short - agree 😆
