5'9'' seems like a curse now for me

I need advice

So I am a 5’9” guy. In my hometown, I felt like a decent sized human, even if I spent my teenage years wondering why I didn't spawn with Western npc height. But then I moved to Delhi for college. In my first year, I met this girl who was barely 5’1”. She actually initiated things, and we were going strong in that classic situationship phase for about 6 months. I thought finally I found LOML. But guess what SHE dumped me for a guy who was 6’2”. I’m convinced she just needed a step stool just to make eye contact with him but okay. Match point to the giants. Fast forward to my 4th semester. I realize my tastes are evolving because I fell for this 5’2” guy. He was from a different college(we met through common friend who both of us hate now). Let's call him Doraemon.

Now, Doraemon was a walking contradiction. He is extremely woke and overly religious. You can try to talk with him about 1000 topics in world he's gonna give you a reality check and a woke answer all the time yet he used to literally used to keep fast for 10 different rituals and I kid you not he regularly visits temples daily. It was genuinely damn confusing what lil bro is. But man, he was the best friend I ever had. I graduated in 2025, but we kept doing the classic Delhi things exploring food joints, staying up late at my place, staring at the stars, late night delhi hopping and bla bla bla. Because of his overly religious side I assumed he was straight so I kept my mouth shut. I didn't want to ruin the best thing I had. Last month I bagged an offer at Deloitte. Big win right? Naturally, I invited Doraemon over to celebrate. He stayed at my place for two days. I was on cloud nine like I had my bff, the job I want and my crush, everything in my hand under my roof.

Three days later, my phone buzzes and it turns out

It’s a text from HIS BOYFRIEND.

Not only did I not know he had a boyfriend, but guess what? The boyfriend is also over 6’2”.

The boyfriend text was basically: "Hey senior, I know you have feelings for my Doraemon. Why are you trying to get close to him?" we obviously got into a fight cuz he told me to not text doraemon and stay away from him as he think I have feeling for him lolz. 2026 is treating me great professionally, but romantically? I have genuinely only caught feelings for two people in my entire four-year college journey, and BOTH of them ended up with guys who are 6’2”.

Is there a specific hormone they put in the butter chicken here that makes everyone over 6 feet tall, or am I just cursed to be the ultimate stepping stone for tall men?

Also should I tell him now that yes his bf is right about me so that I can know what his answer is?
