Singles Matchmaking

Internet dating sites can be very useful. You’re able to explore all kinds of options in a short amount of time in the comfort of your own home. While you browse through the profiles you can pick the ones of interest and learn a few things about the person. All of this before you even decide to initiate a conversation.

There is a downside to internet dating and that’s the extra excitement that all this pre date talking creates. Heightened expectations can be a direct result which in turn can make any disappointment on your first meeting all that much more intense.

At times this disillusionment is caused by one very obvious, yet unexpected, attribute in your date. Though it can be funny, it’s usually just frustrating and sometimes even a bit frightening. Not sure how to handle it when your date turns out to be shorter than you are? Read on!

This is a fairly common occurrence in the world of online dating. People have the unfortunate tendency to exaggerate their profiles. Which in this particular case was cute enough that you were ready to meet his mother! Add that to the fact that he could carry a conversation and the decision to meet in person was an easy one.

You look hot, you’re all nervous and excited and full of anticipation and then you get there; and he’s shorter than you. Which you didn’t know, nor expect. It’s the movie star thing; they look way taller on-screen, both movie and computer.

I know this is a bit of a bummer. No matter how modern and evolved we woman say and think we are, we still like the feel like girls which often times includes being around a man who feels big and strong in comparison. I’m not saying all ladies are like this; I know plenty of awesome chicks who aren’t particular about physical things at all.

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!
