Dear Dish-It,

There is a girl I like. I'm so scared to ask her out because she is taller than me. What should I do?

Dear cricket2011,

For a long time, I was the tallest girl in my grade. All the boys were shorter than me and I was pretty mad about that. How could I date a boy who was shorter than me? That's not the way I thought things worked. But, one day I found myself seriously crushin' on this shorter guy. We got along great and I was pretty sure he was crushin' on me too. So, when he eventually asked me out, I totally said yes. The point of my story is, don't let something like height get in the way of asking someone out. If she says no, at least you know you tried... but chances are, if she digs ya, she won't let something so superficial ruin her chances of dating a cool guy. And just remember - there will always be girls like Nicole Kidman who prefer their men to be short! Hope this helps!

So, ya gotta burnin' question? Need some love directions? Thinkin' 'bout stuff like depression, sex,how ya feel 'bout YOURSELF (that's called "self-esteem"), boyfriends, girlfriends, losin' old friends, bullyin' or peer pressure, but too scared to ask the parents? Don't be scared to Dish-It here. But 'member, if ya hang out in Chat with other Kidzworld members who know ya by your 'username', ya might wanna use a secret nickname when ya write in. That way no one'll ever know it's you. And, just in case ya don't know, Dish-It gets a lotta letters everyday, and she can't answer 'em all. So keep checkin' the column cuz she's prob'ly answerin' somethin' very similar to your question while you're out doin' somethin' else. K? And Thanks! Ya keep her outta trouble. Oh! And if ya've got words of wisdom you wanna share,We'll dish 'em up, too.
