Background: I'm a junior in high school and have only had two girlfriends. She's a freshman. We're both percussionists in band. I know she likes me and we hang out at her house sometimes with some of her friends and we've been on a couple of dates, but we aren't actually in a relationship yet. I'm a former RPer (notice the word "former") but I still understand a lot of the truths and values that are spoken at TRP and Seddit. I've read all the stuff on what to be like when I'm around her, but I can't get myself to apply it.

Main Question: How do I show her that I'm interested and want to be around her without seeming attached or too interested (I know that that's a big turn off)?

Thanks! And sorry for being so inarticulate with this stuff (I always explain too much).
