Dear sir,

I'd like to begin by saying that I do not hold you personally responsible for any of the following. I have nothing but high regard for you.

You see, it's not your fault that you're completely irresistible. That your sweet smile and happy manner put everyone around you at ease. Or even your eagerness to help everyone around you-I don't hold any of this against you. It's not even your fault that every time you talked to me, said my name, or touched arm, my heart very nearly leaped from beneath it's safe cavity of ribs. It's not your fault.

So I won't hold it against you either that because I released my heart from its carefully crafted cage and held it out to you with a bashful smile, that you didn't take it. You're too good to take it, and I see that now.

But if you could recommend a surgeon who could fix the damage that I caused myself, it would be greatly appreciated.

Still Yours,
Me

Imagine for a moment, if you will, that you and a person you care for have to part ways. Your lives are going in two different directions, and a relationship is just clearly out of the question for the time being. You both declare your perpetuated feelings and share mutual regard for each other.

Fast forward a month or so. Now, you find out that the other person has been hooking up with someone for a couple of weeks now, and you didn't know about it even though you see them several times a week.

How are you feeling at this point? Is feeling a hurt a legitimate emotion even though you weren't together?

One of my biggest pet peeves in the relationship realm is the silly notion that the guy has to be taller, and if he isn't it's "unnatural" and "weird". Lies, I tell you. Lies!

Sure, what girl doesn't like to be wrapped up inside a great big hug and feel small and secure in her man's arms? I realize that it's pretty much every girl's fantasy to be protected by some big and strong guy; but in reality, not every man is 6'3" with a dashing smile and chiseled biceps (and that's okay, because not every girl is a Cinderella with -2 waistline and size 3 shoe).

I may or may not stand at six feet with a little bit of a bias. All of the guys that I've been with have been my height or shorter, and we've both been fine with it. In the end, that's not what matters, so why make a big deal out of it to being with?

Guys, does it bother you when the girl you're with is taller than you? Girls, what about you? Does it bother you if your guy is shorter than you?
