I dated a guy once who was 5'5". Most delightful kissing someone my height. He ended up breaking it off with me. He is now married with a kid. I think you stand a pretty good chance of faring similarly. Heck, you might do better - he had a speech impediment to go along with the height thing. The big difference between him and you? He had confidence.
Honestly, work on the confidence. Do this by finding opportunities to spend time with the few non-geriatric in your immediate vicinity. You can spend time with the geriatric as well, in fact, volunteering does wonders for personal well-being. Still, you are going to need to be comfortable speaking with peers. Get a job at a coffee shop on the weekends and start TALKING to people. Learn the basics of striking up a conversation. Become comfortable giving compliments.
You're going to do fine. You've taken the first step. One foot in front of the other until you reach it. Rests are fine. Backtracking happens. Just don't stop.
