<human>: To be clear, my SO knows I am 5'6. We met online a year ago, have Skyped, talked on the phone etc. We have been in a cross country relationship for 8 months now and we finally have the chance to meet each other for the first time this week. 

We are both a perfect match for each other emotionally and personality wise, but I am afraid of what she will think when she see's the height difference first hand. She says she likes me for my personality, and will not care what the difference is, but in the back of my mind, I am not so much worried about the meetup, but what could possibly be best for her in the long run. 

I care for her so much, I would rather have her find someone taller than herself so she would not experience any negative social stigma that is bound to occur, she can have someone big and strong to lean on, and she can be with someone who can protect her.

I know this is probably stemming from the classic short man low self esteem, buy I am just wondering what your take on this is?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: My girlfriend is tall, I am short, we are in a long distance relationship and I want what is best for her.
