Give it a couple of years.
I’m taller than pretty much all of my friends - at about 5 foot 7 I’m fairly tall for a girl. My boyfriend is only about an inch taller than me. None of my long-term boyfriends have been more than an inch or so taller than me. I don’t think you’re too short for a guy - my best friend is like 4’11 and she’d probably think you were a giant!
Also, my little brother will be a junior in High School next year. In the past year and a half, he has went from being my height to a good 5 or 6 inches taller than me. He literally grew that fast. Although he did go from being to an averag looking skinny kid to a freakishly tall monkey man, and I’m pretty sure he never gained any weight so now he’s pretty much the skinniest guy ever. I think he looked better when he was shorter but I’m sure he’ll grow out of his tall akwardness.
I was one of those girls in high school who always said she wanted to date a tall guy or at least guys taller than me (I am abvout 5’ 7"). Looking back, even with my stated preference, I ended up with about 50% of the guys I dated being my height or shorter.
mr.stretch is 5’ 6’ and was a runner in school. He never lacked for dates, probably because he is one of those geniunely nice people; almost everybody likes my husband because he is just a really nice guy.
As **featherlou ** notes, having a SO who is around your own height is great. I can borrow mr.stretch’s shirts–his legs are two inches shorter than mine so I don’t borrow his pants, though I have kidnapped all of the cool shorts he had; they’re in my dresser if he needs them 
. We don’t have to adjust the mirrors or the seats in the car–I have bad knees and like to sit closer to the pedals than many people, so his shorter legs don’t matter. We do lots of home improvement stuff, and it’s easy to work on projects together because we’re at the same height. Lots of advantages to not having mr.stretch be the tallest guy in the room.
The salary survey information does show that taller guys make more money. But in just living life and finding love, your height won’t be a hinderance. And the best part is you can drive one of these–my 6’ 4" brother can’t even fit in our Triumph.
Female here. I’m only 5’2". I’m shorter than all the other adults in my family by at least 2". I’m actually shorter than most of the teenagers in my family. I have not grown 1cm since I was 11. I went from being the tallest in my class to the shortest in less than one summer. My boyfriend is 5’11". There have been some things in our relationship sex which would have been a hell of a lot easier if he were shorter or I were taller. Kissing is also not as comfortable as it could be. I would love to be able to hug a boyfriend and not get my face mashed in his chest. I’d also love to hug a guy who’s been working hard all day and not have my face right next to his smelly 'pits.
One of my friends is very close to my height. I’m not sure if he’s shorter than me or not though. He could be anywhere from 5’1" - 5’4" (I’m a really bad judge). When I hug him, it feels right. When we have a conversation - whether standing or sitting, I can look him in the eye without either of us getting a neck cramp. There are a lot of short men at my work (by short I mean shorter than you) and I’m physically attracted to all of them.
After spending 7 years with a tall guy, I’m finding myself missing the short guys I dated in high school. We are in the middle of going our separate ways right now and I hope my next boyfriend is between 5’3" and 5’6".
My point here is this:
There are short women out there in the world. A lot of us, while being comfortable with out height, prefer to not come only halfway up our boyfriend’s chests.
Another thing…while my female family members are all taller than me (and skinny too, the bitches), I have a large chest and red hair. I’m 26 years old and my chest is still growing (even though I’m losing weight). I get complimented on my hair at least 10 times a day. I’m not going to tell you how often my chest becomes the centerpoint of a converstaion. So, while I may be shorter and more round than the rest of my family, I have certain aspects which make me stand out. You probably do too and just don’t realize it yet. It took me until I was 24 before I stopped hating my boobs and stopped buying smaller bras which squished my boobs flat. Learn to appreciate the features which make you different (other than your height). If you appreciate them, others will too.
congodwarf, if I were a few years younger, I’d be asking: “How you doin’?” And I’ve never asked that here before.
I’m 5’4", my ex is 5’3", and our son is 5’10" or taller…I stopped measuring him. He had a growth spurt after 17 and shot up. Must have gotten the gene from my family, since the ex’s family is all very short. So there’s hope you’ll have another few inches in your future, but don’t sweat it…tall guys are really uncomfortable to be around…too much neck strain!
And if you start using capital I’s when you refer to yourself, you’ll feel taller, and when you feel taller, you’ll act taller, and the girls will notice. Though the girls in High school aren’t the ones who are important, anyway. Don’t despair!
I am 5’9", tall for a girl. Although the guy I married is tall, I never had a problem with short-ish men, from just my height to a little shorter, what mattered is how they treated me…
As the girls get more mature, the height thing doesn’t matter as much.
But don’t worry, guys keep getting height (my husband jumped up 6 inches over one summer when he was 16) for a while, you may still sprout up, or not.
Either way you’ll be just fine.
The guy I know who had the most luck with women–and it was ridiculous, he was dating very hot waitresses several at a time–is about 5’5", if that. Of course he had an Irish accent and looked like mini-Russell Crowe, but being short was not a problem.
So, there’s an easy solution to your perceived-problem - cultivate an Irish accent!
I have something of the same problem; I’ve been (more or less) 5’ 7" since I was in 8th grade, and I’ve never been tall. There are around 18 guys in my school choir, almost all of whom are both younger and taller than I am. I’ll be 18 in a few weeks, so trust me, I know how it feels.
On the other hand:
I virtually never have to worry about hitting my head on stuff.
I don’t have to adjust the driver’s seat when I get in (after one of the girls has been driving it).
I’ve never been cramped for headspace – anywhere.
I generally outgrow my clothes slowly, which is much kinder to the pocketbook.
I used to be very impressive on the sit-and-reach – my arms are a bit longer relative to my legs than most people’s are.
I can look most girls in the eye without any strain on either party.
I think that one reason there are a lot of short weightlifters is that the only advantage height brings is more room for muscle; however, you also have a lot more distance to cover when you’re doing reps. It’s a lot easier for me to bench 150 pounds starting from my chest than it is for somebody of equivalent strength to do, simply because I don’t have to lift it as high. Also, being short and strong means that you can pack a lot of power in a small space, though as others have mentioned, you do need to be careful not to concentrate on selected areas too much more than others.
Wow. No one has ever said that to me before - here or in real life. Just so you know, I like my guys older too 
Love is in the air, every where I look around…
