Short Guys

I was totally new to dating apps. Nobody told me height was a thing – and I never thought it would be because I always dated someone taller than me. So on my first date, I wore heels. 

I walked into the bar and my date’s legs were hanging from the chair, and I had to bend down to hug him. I didn’t realize until that moment I wanted to date someone taller but didn’t want to be a superficial bitch, so tried not to think about it an instead focus on how we connected and if we’d be a good fit.  

He skipped the smaller talk and the first thing he asked was, I kid you not, “What’s the most superficial thing about you?” 

I said I judge people on their music taste…. didn’t mention height, which I know was what he wanted to talk about. 

It wasn’t a match for me, but he stood on his toes and kissed me goodbye. I went on another date that didn’t work out with someone just as tall, and to this day feel terrible and embarrassed and superficial because height is a thing for me.
