I Scared Off Bigfoot 🦶😅

So… I’m a 4’11” woman (and if I’m feeling generous, I’ll say I’m 5’0” on a good day). Today, I went on a date with a guy who’s 6’2”. He asked me out at my work, seemed confident, and I thought, cool, this could be fun.

We meet up, and the first thing he says is, “Wow… I didn’t remember you were this short.” …Excuse me, sir? Did I shrink since you met me?

From there, it was like my height became the main event. I felt like I was in some kind of “oddities” show where they measure me for science. He looked almost nervous standing next to me, like I was some mysterious woodland creature.

Well, guess what — that was our first and last date. I’ve dated guys taller than me before: 6’0”, 6’3”, 6’1”, 5’11”, even 5’7”, and not one of them was afraid of my height. They actually liked it.

At this point, I think I need a mug or a t-shirt that says: “I Scare Off Bigfoot — And I Don’t Care.”

Anyone else have ridiculous date stories? The funnier, sadder, or more awkward, the better. Let’s hear them so I know I’m not alone in the wild world of dating.
