I like him but I am sort of embarrassed of him?

Anonymous
I started to talk to this guy I had met online. He was what I wanted in a guy, personality wise. He's loyal, down to earth, very romantic and respects me. After talking for a while and some flirting, we decided to meet up and I was really excited to meet him. When I first saw him, I was shocked. It was not his face, it was his height. Personally, I don't like it when the guy I'm currently talking/seeing is short because I am pretty short myself. He stands at about 5'6 which I find is quite short compared to most guys. I know this sounds really bitchy and rude but I can't shrug it off. It's not his face or body, it's his height. I hate to say this but I was embarrassed to be seen with him. When he would try to hold hands with me, I would always find an excuse not too. I felt extremely bad. It wasn't his fault that he was short. I didn't want to let a guy as amazing as him go. So I asked my friends for advice advice and my best friend said to drop him. My other friend said not too. I'm really sorry but this isn't something i can shrug off. Any advice? Do I drop him?

* I know that I sound very shallow and conceited. It is just something I can't get past. I 'm sorry. Please help me instead of hating on me xx *
