The turmoil of a submissive man.

... You can be gentle yet assertive. I do believe you will have to find a more happy medium.

That's a perfect way to put it.

In other words, he should stop whining.

To be quite frank with you, I interprete a man who isn't willing to be straighforward about pursuing me to be rather full of himself. Being "shy" to pursue a women is being so absorb in himself, he can't have fun, in my opinion.

Being straighforward about asking a women out is not full of himself, it's just being honest.

And don't worry about your height. Its about the whole package.
