Plus: Her blind date took one look and kept walking.
You can actually learn from each other. An organization that I work with, Encore.org, specializes in encouraging what they call “co-generational” engagement. You should check it out.A man that I met on a dating app is much shorter than he let on in his dating profile. I feel that it isn’t right that he wasn’t honest about his true height.
We ended up hitting it off very well, but it still bothers me that he lied to me during the chatting process. Is it rude of me to mention this?Do not ask this man about his exaggeration on the dating site. Most people beef up some things when they are presenting themselves to others. We all want to be accepted, and often there is something about ourselves that makes us feel that we may be rejected. His issue is his height.
If you still like him now that you have learned he is shorter than he said, let it be. It may come up at some point, but don’t rub it in his face now. The good news is that you do like him. A woman I know who put a very old photo of herself up on a dating site got her feelings hurt doing that. She is at least 50 pounds heavier than she was in the photo she used. She and a man she had grown to like over prolonged phone conversations planned to meet in a public area. She saw him approaching her from a distance. As he grew near to the meeting point, she saw him look at her and keep moving. They never spoke again.
So there is risk in lying about yourself, especially your appearance. For now, anyway, it seems that you and this man have a chance to learn whether or not you are compatible. Don’t let his lie about height kill the potential dream before it manifests. Watch and see.
