The difference in your height is only a problem if you allow it to be.
Don't let it bother you if other people stare. If you really like her, and she likes you, that is all that matters.
This is a superficial difference, just as age or race is. Shrug it off.

See the previous line
If you perceive it as a problem, it will become one. If you're uncomfortable, everyone can sense it. Don't let what you think others are thinking affect how you act. If they have something to say, let them say it to you. Otherwise, pay them no mind. Besides, you don't want people who would judge you based on who you're dating as friends. They're shallow, and would probably turn their back on you at the drop of a hat if it suited them better.

What the hell's a centimeter?

I'm not sure, but 165 of them equals 5.4 feet. Let's say that makes Luke around 5'5" tall. I'd say that puts his girlfriend close to 6'.
Sounds like a good match up to me.
Shall we dance?

Ah, so a centimeter is like a small inch - kind of like a kilometer is a short mile. Got it.

I can't speak for the kids, but most of us older Americans grew up thinking that "meter" was two words.

Heck, I doubt most kids (in the US) these days even know what a yard is - possibly not even what a foot is, let alone anything about the metric system.

I'd say it's just under a half inch. Give or take a prefix or two.

Depends Upon My Mood..
Also..not to question your perception..But could you be "imagining" people are staring at you?Because you are concerned about the difference in height or what other people think?Or if you know they are(staring)..why are you assuming thats the reason?

It's not a problem. Count yourself lucky that you have someone who cares about you.

I'm also kinda curious as to what she thinks.
Does she care she's going out with a guy who's shorter than her, Luke?
Is she bothered by other people looking or what her friends think?
Does she know that you are bothered by it?

I'm friends with two very short brothers - one is 5'2", the other is 5'3". The brother who is 5'3" is extremely outgoing and charasmatic and has a new hot girlfriend every few months, tons of friends, and is usually the focus of the room. I've never heard him bring up his height, but I think it does play somewhat into his brashness and aggressivenss. The other brother is very reticent and withdrawn. He constantly blames all his problems on being short. The point being that if you don't make a problem out of height, other people don't either. Not to say that there aren't hurdles to overcome when you're short, but most of what other people think about you is what you present to them.
