When it comes to dating someone with dwarfism…

What is it like to date a girl with dwarfism, specifically pituitary dwarfism. I’ve known her for quite a while, and I’m curious as to if dwarfism would affect dating. She is around 3‘8“ tall, but she has a huge heart, honestly and truthfully, she is very sweet caring. When it comes to holding hands when we’re out and about, how exactly would one go about this comfortably? The same thing goes for hugging/kissing. When we go in for a hug or a kiss, what is the best way to go about this? Like I said, she is super sweet, but I’m not too familiar with the dwarfism and I would just like some pointers We’ve spent a lot of time together, usually at each other’s residences, and this time we were going to go to dinner for a date night.

If you get serious and you'll start thinking about marriage you need to know beforehand what her thoughts are on having children

@dale74 just like with any marriage, what are you getting out though?

@DattheFirsT the one or two that I've known did not want to ever have children because they didn't want their children to go through it from what I understand there's lots of pain when you're growing

@dale74 that’s much much later in the relationship though. I’m just talking about right now we are going out on a date night. When it comes to hugging and kissing/holding hands. how do you do this when your partner has dwarfism?

@DattheFirsT if that's the case then you're looking at just using them. If you don't consider marriage and kids and you're planning on dating and having sex you're using them as a toy doesn't matter what physical characteristics a person has.

@dale74 I understand, but you’re saying we should talk about this on the second date?

@DattheFirsT if it's important to you otherwise you should consent to whatever she says she says she never wants children and you're stuck like that even if you fall madly in love with her.

@dale74 but can you help me with my post? You are correct in that I do need to get to that topic. But I want to have a few more dates first.

@DattheFirsT she's not blind and she's not dumb fumble around with the awkwardness it's silly and cute she'll like it you could always just get down on your knees one day and just say I wanted you to be the bigger person and give her a kiss

DattheFirsT · 31-35, M

@dale74 I am mainly talking about when we hold hands, do I offer for my fingers, her hands are several sizes smaller than mine. When we hug and kiss, do I pick her up or get down to her level, or something else? Given that we are both adults here, I want to be sure I’m not treating her like a child

@DattheFirsT just do it naturally quit over thinking it you're going to ruin it
