OK, so I'm 20 and I'm 5'3. I'm worried no girl will want me because of my height, and I would think I've stopped growing. Though, I heard you OFFICIALLY stop growing at 21, which I turn in August, and I don't think I'll grow an inch in 4 months. Could I still grow a few more inches?
I don't want to give you false hope, but people can grow well after 21. I married my first husband when he was 22. We were both about the same height---about 5' 7". We divorced 3 years later. About 15 years later, I ran into him at a little cubs (elementary school) football game. Both of our kids were playing on different teams. He was TALL. I'm talking VERY TALL. He had to be at least 6'.
Don't put all of your hope in growing. One of the greatest guys I ever dated was 5' 2". Personality is what really matters.
If you're that concerned about your height, then go see an endocrinologist and get your growth hormone levels checked. Otherwise, just accept that you're a short guy. You might grow a little more (it's not as if you have a timer that completely shuts down growth at midnight on your 21st birthday,) but you're not going to shoot up a foot.
Just keep in shape and don't get fat, and your height won't be a problem. I used to work with a guy about your height, and he went to the gym and lifted weights, many taller guys would have killed to have his body. He didn't have any trouble on the dating scene for sure.

How many times DO you plan to ask this question on City Data?
Longhorns, you are like a broken record my friend. This is all you ever seem to post! And people have answered you over and over again, but you keep asking.
I am not trying to be rude, I just do not get it.
Are you not seeing the other answers people have given you in other places you've asked this question or what?
