I [28/M] went on a date with a girl [28/F], everything is great except she thinks I'm too short, she wants to see if she will change her mind, should I move on?

I was talking to this woman from online dating app a few weeks ago, she is very attractive and was a lot of flirting/sexting beforehand....and when we met in person we had a lot in common, the chemistry was really good, accompanied with lots of laughters, overall it was a great night until she brought up the height issue.

I'm a very short man at an embarassing height of 5'2 (she is 5'3), she indicated to me that my height is a concern since she had always dated very tall men who were 180+....and just fyi I was honest about my height prior to meeting up and she said she was "open to seeing how things go" anyways....

and when we met, turns out I was shorter than her by a little (either I overstated or she understated) and she said she didn't expect it and my height apparently is a concern for her, but she said she didn't want to be shallow and she wanted to start off as friends first and see if she will change her mind later since she wanted to give me a chance due to how well we meshed otherwise.

Now at age 28 I'm no stranger to the dating game, I've got a good handle on whether a woman is giving me a disguised rejection or is being genuine....in this case she really does intend on giving me a chance and seeing how things can go as she is still initiating messages with lots of effort.

However, at the end of that night I felt sad and disappointed that as a man something so out of my control can have such a negative impact on my dating life, and how missing the mark by a few cms can be such a deal breaker for a woman that I connected well on every other level.

Don't get me wrong, I understand physical attraction is important and I don't think she is in the wrong, but to be 100% honest, my ego did feel bruised.

Is this still worth putting effort towards? Should I play along and try to help us both know each other more so that she can overlook my height?

Or is it a smarter choice to move on and try to find a girl who is actually sexually interested in me from the get-go?

Tbh, I'm not a fan of putting myself in a position to try and "convince" a girl that I'm worth it, this is who I am.....but at the same time at 5'2.....most girls don't see you as a prize from the get go (just real talk, no confidence pep talk please).

Even if we got together, it would honestly suck to have the feeling that she "settled" for me or that I wasn't sexually attractive to her.

Help me out reddit, thanks.

TL;DR Met an online girl, chemistry was really good, but turns out I'm shorter than her by a little and she said height is a concern for her, however she's willing to give it a chance by being friends first to see if she might change her mind later on.

My ego feels bruised, and I'm wondering if it's a better idea to find a new girl that has no height hangups, or play along and see how this goes.
