Yes. Plenty of relationships bring together a little person and an average-height partner. If you want to meet little people who are open to it, a dedicated site such as Midget Singles is the simplest place to start, because little people, short singles and average-height admirers have all chosen to be there.
Where average-height people can meet little people
On a mainstream app you cannot tell who is open to a mixed-height relationship until you ask, and a message that leads with height rarely goes well. On Midget Singles everyone has opted in, so you can get straight to the things that matter: what you have in common and whether you get on.
You can also meet people through the places little people already gather, from local groups to community events, but go as a friend and a guest first, never as someone looking for a date.
How to start a conversation that goes well
- Lead with their profile, not their height. Ask about the trip, the dog or the band in their photos.
- Use the right words. Most people prefer little person, person of short stature or person with dwarfism. Our article on the words that matter explains why.
- Do not make it about a type. People can tell the difference between interest in them and interest in their height, and they report the second kind.
- Let them set the pace on questions about dwarfism. They will tell you what they want to share.
First dates and beyond
Choose somewhere you both find comfortable, and ask rather than assume. A good first date is about the conversation, not about planning around height. Our guide to dating a little person for the first time covers what to expect, including how to handle stares or comments from strangers together.
Family and friends may have questions. Most of them fade once people meet your partner as a person rather than an idea.
