What do I do?!

[John Dibble]

Tell her you like her, go on a few dates with her if she's willing, and see if you still like her after that. You won't find anyone who is perfect and shares all your interests, so you really need to find out if the pros outweigh the cons.

To give a personal example, I dated a girl who I was introduced to and liked her alright at first. She seemed smart and she was kind of cute. However, later it became a hassle. She liked to talk on the phone for about an hour four to five times a week, she would forget things that I just said to her, and she would say extremely dumb things every now and then that would make me want to bang my head up against a wall to make my brain stop hurting. The final straw was when she asked me whether or not "The Lord of the Rings" was based on a true story... yeah, really, she seriously asked me that. I'm pretty sure she was still interested in me, but I ended it after three dates, which for many is about the time when they know if they want to continue a new relationship or not.

Frustrating as it was, I think it's better to take a chance. It didn't work out for me, but I'm glad to have had the experience because I learned a good deal about dating and I can apply that experience to the future.
