My friend, Ling is a pretty girl and has a decent job. Recently she falls in love with a boy who is intelligent, humous and warm-hearted. But the pity is that the boy is shorter than Ling. Ling's parents and some of her friends don't think they are a good match because Ling is slender and lovely while the boy is fat and ordinary-looking. Ling can't make her decision and ask me for advice. I'm not sure whether I can give her good advice. Would you give her some advice?

If Ling is happy and secure with her boyfriend, and if she is certain that is really what she wants in life, then she shouldn't let the appearance of her boyfriend matter, right? And since the boyfriend looked that same way before she agreed to commit herself to the relationship, she must have seen something in her boyfriend to have made her decide that she wants to be with him. She shouldn't listen to comments of other people. Although I don't consider myself beautiful or even pretty, with a height of 5' 7 1/2 inches, I also met that problem before. I had a boyfriend who stood only up to my shoulder r level. But I loved him (or so I thought) so I did not give a damn what the people were saying. And my husband is shorter than me by almost three inches by the way.

She should follow her heart and not listen to what everyone else says. Listening to other peoples advice is all well and good, but in the end it is HER life, and her life alone, and she needs to make the final decision.

Ok, parents should know better in this kind of situation. Their daughter must've seen something in him that makes him so special despite his appearance & that i think is more important. I'd rather tell her to stay with her boyfriend if she's happy with him & loves him than look for someone good looking and hurt her feelings in the end.

I think she shouldn't bother about what other people say. If she really likes this boy, she should date with him. Love is blind, she could love him because of his features like beeing warm-hearted, what is more important in relationship than beeing handsome.

Hey Lucy, I would like to give a suggestion, Please Trust in God, If he decided to meet them, then why are you coming between them both. (Please don't get angry), Because in world no body is perfect, everyone has a one fault. If that boy is fat and ordinary-looking that it was not his fault. God has created him like that, may be he can some inner capacity to prove himself. Please don't look as her face, look in his loving heart for your friend. and Let your friend decide to what she wants to do. Love need no age, no bar, no condition, its only need two loving hearts. God Bless them, and also you But one thing is sure that you are a good friend to her.

Tell her to follow her own heart. That is the best thing to do.

In my opinion, Ling should stay alone for some time and consider it seriously before she makes the final decision. As is often the case, girls cannot make the right decision while they are deeply in love with someone. A period of time staying alone may help her to find what she really wants.

I really don't see the problem with this... There is nothing wrong with the boy... except for his appearance. And she loves him... so what is the problem? Well... there could be one problem... Does he have a good job? Or is he just a smooth talker? The only problem with the appearance thing would be... Will their children look like him?...

It doesn't matter what he looks like on the outside, it matters whats on the inside. If this guy makes her happy and treats her right, then I don't see what the problem is. There are a handful of nice guys out there that don't treat their girlfriends like crap and I say if she's found one that makes her happy, hold on to him!

my advice: if they care enough for each other, y would they be concerned...if they come to a point where they wanted to get married, it's them who are marrying each other....not their parents or anybody...in a relationship, it's not really important if you are a good match in looks...what's important is if you two are a good match in all things not really physical..if you two get along pretty well or if both of you love each other and compliments each other...know what i mean?? if the guy makes her happy then so be it...

I guess, Ling dont need an advice. Since she fall in love, we need to respect it! Im sure, she knows more what she feels for the guy. In the eyes of love, it can see the most beautiful thing that she can only appreciates it. You may see that guy, fat or short, but for Ling, he could be the perfect man here on earth.

just ask your friend to ask the guy what he really feels about her. What matters is their feelings and love for each other and not on the looks.

She needs to decided it for herself weather she loves someone because of heart matter or appearance. Parents and friends shld not be the one that interfer in a relationship. Let them work out themselves unless they are having a seriouse major relationship problem like abusive. Just because his fat and ordinary looking, his not entittle to her love or love? Common get real...everyone wants their partner to be as good looking or better but that is not reality. Because love is blind, and love is not something anyone can choose for that reason... Love is love. Unless your specificaly choosing someone to be in love with, that thats difference but still she do have her choice... she can choose to choose herself which i belief that she's capable of or she cld choose to listen to her parents and friends... But whats the point in haveing someone whose better looking but his not decent. So the question lies... wld you choose someone whose normal looking with decent character OR someone who is better looking without a decent character....

people generall say love has no eyes. a womanhood may ever include external beauty. but a manhood doesn't depend on his external beauty. take my mum & dad, mother is very fair, dad is not that much.it has never created a problem among them, because they love each other truly.however you'll receive comments from others. if ling is so sure that she never minds these differences, he could love him till his life, tell your friend not to miss her love. beauty 'll go one day. true love 'll remain eternal

Lign must have seen somwthing in the Guy that made her fall for him. Now, Ling is not the only one who has to decide if she's doing the right thing. I can't read her mind. But my experience says that as life goes on, love and romance take a back seat and practicalities prevail. Ling is ready for the relationship but what about the guy? He probably is ready too right now, but is he ready to be seen with his wife who's taller than him for the rest of his life? He has to be a very humble guy or a couple of jibes coming his way and he might be angry for the rest of his life. Men have egos ever so fragile. Its a sensitive issue. Ling and his boy have to be really sure if this is wat they want.
