Dear Felix:

I don’t think it is a problem that a man and a woman are of the same height, be it 5’5”. Height is just one factor in compatibility. Let’s say a woman prefers a man who is taller  than her, but if there are other things she likes about him, she’ll compromise her preference for a taller man.

I think it is okay that you muted her insta stories. I don’t think it is a problem.

Regarding my suggestion that you make yourself a good candidate for her, you asked: “do u think if I do this that means that I’m still hoping for her?”- thing is you have been hoping for her for years by this point and you tried but failed to stop hoping  for her. So.. why try again? Better work on becoming a better candidate for her- it will keep you busy doing something positive for yourself.

And if she doesn’t consider you as a candidate in the future, your good work will make you a good candidate for … someone else!
