Don't play a Lalafell if you want romance. You're options will undoubtedly be few and far between. Post just about any other race and you will get interest, believe this from experience, RPers in this community have a VERY hard time separating reality from fantasy and seeing Lalas as less young and more dwarfish characters. It is annoying and disheartening, and it takes time to get over the fact that you have a character you love that automatically is at some disadvantage in the amount and types of RP available to them.
I wish I had someone years ago to tell me this, or at least had the foresight that it would turn out this way, but I didn't and I had to find out over time that people would be nice to your face, but otherwise ignore your character even just for everyday RP if they were a lalafell. Go to a party and be the last one to get RPed with even when you try to start conversations, Â make contacts, try to follow up over and over and get no response, then switch to another race and have the same people magically be available and asking for RP even when you don't contact them haha.
Good luck either way!
In my case it's less the kid/dwarf thing, and more the model design making them look like (at least to me) some kind of weird doll, akin to Cabbage Patch Kids, which as a child were one of the creepiest things ever (and I had so many friends who had them and loved them, and I just couldn't even). If SE had given them just a little more "humanity" in their appearance, more akin to a hobbit or something like that, they wouldn't seem so odd to me. I can't say if it's this way for others, though.
