This may sound pretty childish but we're teenagers, I apologise in advance.
There's a girl in my friendship circle who was not on my radar at all, whatsoever, and until now I'd assumed she was very straight. She has dated a large array of guys before now and never any girls that I'm aware of. Well she recently asked me out on a date and did this by giving me a whole arrangement of flowers. This is obviously incredibly romantic and I said yes because she's nice and gave me flowers??? but honestly we don't really have any sort of vibe or dynamic. I felt like I had to say yes because of the flowers.
I'm worried the date will be awkward because we only ever hang out in group settings, and we don't really have that much in common from what I can tell. The physical attraction also isn't really there for me - she is objectively pretty, but I just don't feel the spark. Am I being stupid and should I just go into this date and have a nice time and not worry about it because we're teenagers and it doesn't matter? Or am I being an asshole for saying yes in the first place when we clearly aren't on the same level emotionally here? I feel like I screwed up and now if the feelings don't just magically materialise after this date it'll be worse in the long run then just rejection off the bat. It doesn't help that we have a tonne of mutual friends
Idk, advice?
Edit: also her parents are homophobes and she isn't out to them so we'd have to keep our relationship, if it develops in that way, a secret. Which I don't want to have to do again tbh
