No, and no.
I'm not dating anybody, and the woman I was considering "testing the waters" with, so to say, didn't show tonight, but she is pretty short, even if she isn't a dwarf.

Ok, so how short is short?
My ex was just 4'10". My two daughters are 4'8" and 4'7" (both in college, so probably not much growth left).
Ex hated any reference to height. Daughters don't mind.

About 4'10"-4'11".
Not entirely sure, but she looks like she's about that tall.

One word
of advice, which you probably already know. Find out what she REALLY thinks about her height. My ex was so sensitive that we actually left a company (mine) Christmas party when someone made an innocent remark about her height. I learned to be very cautious when discussing height.
That's also one reason why I ended up with custody of my two daughters. Ex blamed herself (it's genetic - passed from mother) for their lack their height. After divorce I worked with my daughters to give them a positive self esteem and taught them how to counter the crude and crass height remarks made toward them at school.
I know it's early in the "relationship", but just wanted to tell you my experiences. Good luck.

Already aware.
Everybody I've dated in my life (with one exception) was 5'2" or under.

You're a tall guy though
maybe you should "raise your standards".
Then you can find someone where you see "eye to eye" on things.

Did once.
It ended badly.
I'm not actually all that preferential on height - just seem to end up with the short ones for some reason. It's not quite as much of a difference as one of my dance instructors - he's about 6'6", and a total bear. His partner is about 4'6", and very pixieish. It was very strange watching them in our aerials class, because he could just toss her around like a sack without any effort, and then we had to do what they had just done.
Not fair, I tell ya.

In San Francisco
there was a dance club called the "Tip Toppers". Women over 6' tall looking for dance partners of similar size.
Might be a similar one here.

Maybe you like cutie pies
and they tend to be short. My wife is a cutie pie, and she's all of 5'3" - although that might be too tall for you.
