Some years ago I had the opportunity to go out with a taller girl and I blew it.

When I was at University, I got a summer job at a horticultural research centre. When I was introduced to the staff I would be working with, the only one in my age group was a female trainee biologist. I was 5ft 7ins tall and quite slim at that time. She was about 2ins taller than me and looked fit and strong. (I discovered later that she was a competitive swimmer). I found her very attractive, but felt a bit intimidated by her, so I kept my distance.

However every time our paths crossed, she seemed very keen to chat to me. Then one day she saw me struggling to move some heavy boxes and helped me out. The fact that she was obviously stronger than me turned me on even more. We then started sitting together at meal breaks and we got on really well. However I assumed she was just being friendly and I did not risk making any advances.

One evening a few of us went for a drink after work. She stayed on with me after the others left, and with the looks she gave me and the hints she made, it appeared that she wanted to go out with me. Then a few days later she said she wanted to ask me something. We went somewhere private and she asked me if I would like to go with her to a dinner and dance. My initial feeling of excitement was immediately followed by a feeling of dread as I conjured up a picture of her in high heels towering over me and people staring at us. I panicked and made a bumbling excuse saying I could not make it. I could see straight away that she was hurt and embarrassed by my reaction.

After that she stayed away from me for the rest of the time I worked there. I kept trying to find the right moment to ask her out for a drink to mend our friendship and try to take our relationship forward. But due to a lack of courage and a lingering fear of being embarrassed to be seen by my mates and family with a taller girlfriend, I never got round to it.

Years later I still reget it, because I would loved to have had a physical relationship with her!
