I was off by 0.8%.
HOOOOLY CRAP, too much, too soon.
Tell him very clearly and directly what he did and how it made you feel. You will save him an enormous amount of future heartache (if he takes it on board).
Oneitis. Common affliction.
There's nothing shallow about this. It's how men are wired.
MEN ARE VISUAL CREATURES. Our brains have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to respond to beauty in women. It's how we screen for fertility (beautiful = healthy woman = healthy children).

OP, you know his history, right? Serial entrepreneur. He sold Dick Smith Electronics for $25mil in 1980, Australian Geographic for $41mil in 1995, had many other ventures, pulled off some epic pranks (like towing an 'iceberg' into Sydney Harbour for April Fool's once) and even launched a match brand to compete with Redheads... called.... you guessed it...

Don't EXPECT it, but be aware. The thought has crossed her mind.
Hang out, have fun and pay attention to her indicators of interest.
I can tell you roughly what's gonna happen:
You arrive
You smoke
You talk shit
She starts showing her interest, moves closer to you, is bumping into you, brushing against you, touching you arm, laughing at your jokes etc
You think "Oh shit, fuck, what do I do"
She keeps showing interest
You either make a move, kiss her and things end in the bedroom, or you don't make a move and she gets frustrated, then feels rejected, then friendzones you
Over to you.
I’m devastated, but unsure why,
He.
Betrayed.
Your.
Trust.
