going on a date with a little person, curious of how to be respectful of it.
Hi. a very long term friend of mine that i met online 12 or so years ago and me have recently become much closer, she hid her dwarfism from me until very recently despite being very close. no pics showing her entire body, and her form of dwarfism (SMD) is very rare apparently and hard to notice in the types of pictures and facetime calls we have. i was quite hurt that that was something she hid from me for so long but i really do love her and am understanding of it as much as i can be. anyways, ill be in her city for unrelated reasons and am going to meet up with her and take her out for food and to hang out etc. curious if there’s anything important i need to know as an average height man when it comes to hanging out with somebody much shorter than me, she is also partially disabled and walks with a cane so i will possibly have to help her into the car ill be driving as it’s quite high off the ground. any advice is appreciated because i would love to make her feel as comfortable and special as i can without doing anything that might upset her or come across as too much.
