When it comes to dating a girl with dwarfism, I could use some advice

I want to make it clear that I’m only reposting this so I can move it into another Forum. (new to this site, so still trying to figure it out)

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, and we are about to go on our second official date night together. 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.

I have no experience with this, so any thoughts I express here are off the cuff. Take it for what it's worth. That being said, I think a date night is a great idea and since you are familiar with being with her, everything, (referring to a inner date,) should go smoothly.

Wherever you decide to go to dinner, you might catch the host/hostess off guard and they may not know exactly what to do or how to treat you as a couple, but I'm sure they will do their best to accommodate you and her.
If you wanted to, you could give the restaurant a heads up. Let them know you are planning a dinner date, give them the facts, let them know you want everything to go smoothly and you are letting them know so they can prepare ahead of time. (Things like seating, etc.)

As for stepping it up, (hugging, kissing, etc.) IMO, that would be best done in a private, one on one setting, (at home, at the movies, etc.)

Hope I was of some help and good luck on your date. Hope it all turns out the way you want it.

@IM5688 what would the restaurant need to prepare ahead of time for?
Also, for hugging and kissing, I see couples doing this out in public all the time. Yes obviously for those long and intimate hugs and kisses, yes in private. But for just like a quick kiss along with a hug. Why would that need to be done in private necessarily?
