Dear Brenda,

I’m 25 years old and I have met a great guy. He checks most boxes on my list of requirements of a boyfriend but my problem is that he is very short! I am even afraid to introduce him to my friends…how do I deal with this?

At 25, you shouldn’t be worried about approval from your friends regarding who you date. That ship has sailed. Second, no man will tick off all the boxes on that list you have made. I repeat: no man.

What you need to do is determine which qualities in a man really matter to you. Which ones are deal breakers? Remember that physical attraction is important in a romantic relationship. If this man is as good as you say he is, if you are physically attracted to him, then it shouldn’t matter that he is short or that your friends will laugh at you.
