Alright, story time.
I'm 15, pretty normal. Not popular but well liked by everyone. Pretty respected person.
My ex and I were going out for 4 months. A month ago we sort of stopped liking each other, and a few days ago she officially left me.
Now, this is GOOD, because I stopped liking her because I started liking this other girl, Heather.

Heather and I have been friends for awhile and she actually helped me get with my ex a few months ago. Recently, we've been texting a ton and hanging out more and she's seemed to be into me, and a lot of our mutual friends thought this too. The issue is, I'm roughly the same height as her, and she has a very precise height range (1-5 inches taller than her) that I'm not in and she's been really vague about everything. So I strait up asked her if I got into that range in a few months, whether she'd consider me (she knows I like her) and she straight up texted her and said "you won't be so don't ask". I don't know how to respond so I didn't mention it again, but she cut off all talking. We were even having a conversation (texting) while it happened and she just cut it off. So now I'm in a really shitty mood, but I can't talk to my family because I've not even told them my ex and I broke up (they're not good people) and I can't tell my friends because they either don't know heather or can't offer good advice. What do I do?

Really, if a girl will reject you because of your height, she's not worth it.
However, I don't know her at all, so maybe if you give it some time, you'll be able to show her you can make up for that in other areas.

Don't change yourself to fit other's needs/wants. Your height isn't of your control. I mean, if I could be 15 feet tall, I would be. :D

As Kaylesh said, "maybe you can make up for it in other areas?" Don't be discouraged, there's a lot of fish in the sea. :)

If she's going to not consider you because of your height, that's shallow af. A 1-5 inch window, you serious? As a 6'5" male I have a /preference/ for a taller girl (try hugging someone when you're like, a foot taller than them). But that's what it is, a preference. She's obviously not mature enough for a serious relationship and I'm going to warn you right now, there are more issues than that waiting for you if you get into a relationship with her. If asking her about it produced that kind of response it's going to be hell for you later.

TL DR, she's not mature enough to be worth your time. Worse stuff will come if you pursue it. Let her go.

Yeah, everybody's correct, I guess. Can't control my height, she shouldn't be so picky. Thanks.

Yeah, I may ask you guys more. I have a good deal of issues and an awful sense of how to resolve them. Borderline personality disorder, woo.

I don't think it's a disorder. I would say it's more of a lack of life experience. It's part of the fun being young.

Kaylesh

I'm 33, and pretty content with my life. There are a lotta things I would have done different with the knowledge I have now. No disorder there, just as Rass says.
The fact that you acknowledge you have issues and are seeking help to resolve them in the best possible way is a strength. Try to remember that. If you gave 10.000 people a psych test, quite a lot of them would get a diagnosis, even though they would suffer no problems in there lives not knowing.
You are a human being, not an ailment.

Sorry for ranting there, recovering from bad psychologist who treated me as a moron. AS here.

No, I mean I actually have borderline personality disorder and it often affects my social habits around certain people. Thanks, though.

I have sociopathic tendencies and have a mild form of paranoid schizophrenia. I would list off my medical ailments but I'll not waste your time as my point is this, you may have a personality disorder, but you're going to be absolutely fine. You're showing maturity some, hell /most/, adults I know don't have.

If you think or even suspect you're a sociopath, you're not.

It would appear that I have the wrong word. My apologies. I can't find the right one...basically I don't feel some emotions and have a tendency to be apathetic. At the same time I'm very loyal and caring to some people. I also don't experience guilt (I do experience fear of getting caught, two different things). My emotions are a disaster.
