That feeling of hope that you still have a shot with them.
This is where getting over someone is almost impossible.
As long as you hang on to the idea that there is a possibility for romance or love with this person, the prospect of getting over the person is absolutely herculean.
In general, women have a preference to date tall guys or guys who are taller than them.
On the flip side, men prefer dating women who are shorter than them.
In a situation where a woman dates a guy that is shorter, the guy and the girl must have a healthy mental disposition and resolve to the whole idea of height in dating and relationships.
