I'm 5'7" and I haven't grown at all since turning 19 and I don't expect to do any more.
There's nothing wrong with 5'5" on women. Some believe, like me, it's an ideal height for a woman. In any case no, the chances are you won't grow any more - girls stop growing at around 17, but guys don't stop until around 21.
Holy s***, that gives me a year to get off my 5'2" pedestal!

And if not, a lot of guys like smaller girls too. Tall guys included. I am 6'4" and have, er, been involved with girls between 4'10" and 6'1". I think being short for a guy is much worse than being short for a girl (not that you're particularly short, only a couple of inches and not even one standard deviation below the average height of 5'4").
If it makes you feel better, you can just lie to girls and say you're 6'2" or something and they'll believe you. You're definitely lucky. 6'0"-6'4" is perfection, I would say.
Although there is this which suggests that 5'9"-5'11" is optimal for being attractive to women, and that men both taller and shorter than this are seen as being less attractive.
dips screw me over too. don't bother with them, you can really mess yourself up. Lying triceps extensions (rippetoe style) and pushdowns or closegrip bench are all you need.
Oh right, a bit unexpected lol but I guess it makes some sense. Things could be a bit awkward if the male was significantly taller than the female.
Yeah I know, stopped them a few months ago due to the strain. Will google the rippetoe extensions but I already do pushdowns

If by awkward you mean "insanely awesome" and "oh my god I am the same size of her forearm" then yes, pretty awkward. Although honestly, I've had nothing but positive things said about my height. In all fairness I suspect there's some sort of bias there since girls who thought negatively of my height are unlikely to say anything about it.
They're the best triceps exercise, in my opinion, because they use all three heads of the triceps. (on a side note, I had how even singular triceps is still triceps. I know it's right, but it just looks and feels wrong.)

Yeah, like the OP, I think I'm just paranoid.
I think it's because I've been 'the short one' in my group of friends, all my life, and although I'm catching up now (lots of my friends are between 5'3" and 5'6"), it's pretty much ingrained into my head that I'm short!

Probably. 5'2" really isn't too short. Pretty much any girl less than 5'8" seems "short" to me, so it's all the same really, unless you're exceptionally tiny.

I'm underweight (not majorly, I'm working on it) and look a bit young for my age so I don't think it helps my cause...

Ah, possibly not. Also, posture helps a lot too. If you don't stand tall and straight then you'll look a lot smaller than you really are. If you're slightly built then again, you'll appear smaller. But if you're working on this stuff then there's nothing to worry about.
Haha loving the onesie. It looks like you're praying
My brother beats you by half an inch btw
Anything over 6'4" is just awkward. Seriously, I think 6'4" is bordering on being too much, with 6'2" being the ideal. Unless you're one of the rare people who are perfectly proportioned at large heights (broad shoulders, etc.).
6' is a great size, you're taller than most women, so you're beyond that awkward barrier, and you're not too tall that you look like slenderman creeping about. I'm 6'6, and it's a pain. Sometimes literally. Single beds are a nightmare, and doorframes can do one.
