It's supposed to say "Shorter" in the title. But I apparently forgot how to English.
Okay, so I've hung out with this one guy a couple times that I met at work. And he's really fun to talk to, and he makes me laugh a lot, which is one of the main factors for me. However, he's a couple inches shorter than me. And I've always tried to not be a very shallow person, and I really don't want this to bother me, but the problem is that I'm so insecure about myself. I'm 5' 7", so a lot of guys are shorter than me, especially ones that are interested in me for some reason.
And I'm about average human-shaped, a little more, but I think I'm considered diamond-shaped? So it still sorta spreads enough to look average-y. But I also have large hands for a girl, possibly due to genetics from my dad and also growing up playing the piano. So, the idea of being with him is just awkward to me because he's like, smaller, lol. And there are a lot of other body issues as well, so I'm just uncomfortable in my own skin. So, I was wondering, does anyone have experience with dating shorter guys? Or advice on how to overcome insecurities?

More reason for short men to bundle all women together and say we are shallow and won't date short men.
OP, people are imperfect. Sounds like you also recognize your imperfections, you should probably learn to accept them in others. That will come with age and maturity-you sound pretty young.
I am pretty young! 22, haha. And I understand that people are imperfect, and I'm not at all trying to bash on shorter people. Like I said, I honestly don't want this to be a problem for me, but I'm just really insecure about myself, and I don't know how to just accept these flaws. My own insecurities have also kept me from really dating at all, too. So, it's less about him being short and more about me wanting advice on how to overcome my insecurities.

Advice, don't worry about dating anyone until you are confident in yourself.
Your insecurities will manifest themselves in really negative ways if you don't get them in check before entering a relationship.

I get that, which is why I'm asking HOW to become more confident in myself, lol. I don't really know a way of going about it. I think I'm becoming better than I was in the past, but still not quite there yet.
A ""shorting"" guy. Is that what its called? If a man treats you well & you are average shaped like a diamond & not an hour glass you have to be realistic. You wont end up with a young Brad Pitt. Go for it. He might be kind etc.
At 80 everybody is wrinkled so at the end looks at 25 dont matter. We are all heading to that dreaded white hair & wrinkles.

I am 5'7" myself. I just can't date anybody too short. 6'1" is perfect height for me.
Why do you feel insecure? You must have long legs. Man, I don't want to be short, that is for sure.
Just for the record, you are not SHALLOW just because you want your man to be tall. =)
