i say work on your confidence and that would help with attracting girls. I wouldn't mind dating someone 5'5 because at 17 you may not be fully done growing and secondly as long as you are taller than me, we should be good. im 5'2. i prefer taller guys but height is not the ultimate deciding factor. if you approach girls, just make sure you do it genuinly and confidently. dont sell yourself short (no pun intended). if i can feel you are uncomfortable with yourself, thats not gonna help me to be comfortable. and also, you are only 17, you have plenty of time to date and find the love of your life. at this point, just focus on you, your life and your personal development. the right one will eventually come around. dont put so much pressure on yourself or the person you are trying to approach. girls can sense tension. just play it cool both in and out of a relationship and have confidence. best of luck.

I think a big part is your confidence. I prefer guys that are taller then me, or who act taller then me, if that makes sense. By acting taller, I mean confidence. You're also 17, and most guys I know haven't actually dated until they got to college. Honestly, I prefer being a friend with a guy before we get into a relationship. If we can't be friends, a relationship is never going to work.
Being 5'5 isn't a deal breaker. It's all about personality and having confidence in yourself. The right girl for you won't care about your height. Have confidence in yourself! Good luck!
Most women just want a dude that's their height or taller, and there's PLENTY of women out there that are 5'5" and below. And even then, some women will be ok with being a little bit taller than you provided that you're cool with it.
Honestly man, height isn't gonna prevent you from landing a good woman. I wouldn't worry too much about this. :-)

Height shouldn't really matter tbh... As long as you have a good personality the height can be looked pass... Personally for me everyone looks tall to me so yeah lol...
I'm 5'6" and I HAVE dated 5'5" guys. I agree that confidence and personality are more important. And you shouldn't be trying to draw your confidence from physical attributes or dating success. It's got to come from within.
I'm 5'6 but that's not too big of a difference. If you're amazing & wonderful that'd be a big exception. And there's tons of girls who are 5'4 or shorter. Naturally, you'd be a suitable mate to them. :)
Im 5'5 too tbh everything is better when you can see eye to eye lmao true story
No, because I'm 5"7, but if I was your height I don't think I'd have an issue. It's fun dating someone the same height as you.
Yep, i'm 5'0, so 5'5 would be great. :D I'm not picky on height, I even dated someone who was 6'6 before. That's actually a bit too tall for me, but I didn't mind.
I'm 5'5 too so it wouldn't matter to me... besides sometimes I hate having to look up at the guy I'm talking to (it hurts my neck)
No, because he'd be basically the same height as me.
Height doesn't matter :) As long as you have an amazing personality then you're greaat :) aha
Depends on your personalities and common interests, probably, I'm 4 foot 11.5 inches tall.
Well I'm 5'8 so i probable wouldn't but any girl that is shorter than you probable wouldn't care.
Probably not because I'm 5'10"
Of course lol.
