I think you should just tell them straight up that you like the kid. If they make fun of you then they're not your friends. At least they will let you know they're just playing around and mean no harm. If you haven't told the kid himself what you think, go and do that as well. Live your life as you want, not as others think you should live it. If they don't like the idea of you dating a guy who isn't Mr. Perfect, then they're not the perfect friends for you.

Remember always that a relationship usually deals with two people. Your friends really have nothing to do here. You don't really have to go to them and say, "hey! I like this guy." Just tell when you they ask, or something. IF they being to bother him and you feel a bit awkward just tell them to stop, they'll probably ask why- there being your chance.

Be happy. I'm sure a [true] friend will want that.

Teacake agony auntSometimes the cool nerds are the best! Its always best to keep your romance secret from others who you think are your friends because they tend to make trouble and interfere and judge. Enjoy having fun with your friend and do not tell anyone because they will do what they can to ruin it.

Been there done that. All you have to do is follow your heart and what you think is right. Also if your friends are your true friends they accept who ever you date and deal with it. Also at the moment he may be short but soon he'll puberty and pass you in height. Also if you find him cute your friends should have to find him also so that you could go out with him. Also you have to learn to look with in the person and judge on appearances.

feel free message me any time you need help.

*hope this help you

In my experience, the best results come when you do what you think is right and think for yourself than obeying others.

I am not saying to ignore your friends, indeed they had brought up valid arguments against him, I would be a little hesitant, but if the worst they can do against him is critique his appearance, then ignore them and go for it.

Also, you do not answer to your friends, so you do not have to justify your actions at all, so just don't worry about what to tell them.

sparkleworks agony auntYour friends are just going to have to deal. However if they do poke fun at you or make jokes about him, you probably shouldn't take it too personally, if they're your friends then they'll care about you enough to try to get to know him.

But I understand that what they might see as joking around may hurt you or cause some tension, so it'd probably be best to start off by explaining to them something like, "What I'm about to tell you guys is important, so please don't start joking about it". Once they know you're serious, you can just tell them and I'm sure they'll respect you enough to know not to cross the line.
