Sometimes I forget...

I was walking to lunch today and saw a guy coming the opposite way. I immediately thought "Man that guy is crazy tall!" as I walked past him I then noticed that I looked evenly eye-to-eye at him. I laughed to myself and realized I had forgotten that I was also quite tall myself.

Happens to me All. The. Time. It's cuz we're not used to seeing other people that tall so it takes us by surprise :p

The boyfriend is 6'7" so our height difference between us is the most "normal" out of all our previous relationships. We do this all the time because of it. Together we're normal but I glanced over the other day and saw him standing in line and thought "damn, he's huge". Added an apostrophe.

I do the same with my girlfriend, she's just your height. When she hangs out with one of her friends who's about 5'4" I'm always amazed at how she dwarfs her friend.

it's a really good feeling when someone makes you feel like the right size and shape for each other - it also just feels good when most people make you want to slouch, and the person you like best makes you want to stand up straight

i bet you were single for a long time waiting for a taller guy to come along because you refused to "settle", weren't you?

Seriously. The other day I saw a guy on the street, and I thought to myself, damn, so tall. When he got closer, I actually noticed he was like 5 cm shorter than me.

Happens to me too...im 6'4 and my partner is 6'9. Love his height and forget how tall he is cause he makes me feel normal. Then I see him next to others and think "wow, he's tall"

Being at a D1 university is awesome because this happens to me all the time.
