and I feel like a complete fud. I don't feel like I have an excuse to get to know this person. I've liked her secretly for a long time but today was the first time I bumped into her for a considerably long time and we barely know each other.

I feel like I've made a big mistake and shouldn't've bothered. How do you handle dates and stuff? I really like this person but I'm worried we might be incompatible. I lit a cigarette in front of her - I thought it would look cool, but she might be prejudiced against smokers. To make things worse it was a rollie.
