Advancing on a girl... Am I doing it right? (5)

Hey /love/, I normally just lurk here and what not. Sometimes for pointers, sometime for teh lulz. But now, as most of these threads go. I need some pointers...

Here is the situation:

I've started to get to know a girl in my school. I never even considered her for a moment until I was having a bad day. (Valentine's... go figure.) To cheer me up, I got a rather nice gift of a hug as a Happy Valentine gift. Being somewhat level-headed, I considered the hug as a act of friendship just to play it safe.
But afterward, when I arrived at home, I indulged as most men in the art of fapping. (To Hentai/Porn/Imagination/etc..) As this went on, however, I started to think of her and the usual knee-jerk reaction "OMFG! Sick Fuck!" and actually stopped masturbating for about a day. (Which is quite shocking, seeing as how I only have the will at best for two days.) This and some other thoughts made me start to wonder what love is and what not.
Whilst I am the loner/geek (FTW!) type accustomed to huddling in a corner with resin figures/companion cube, recalling the advice of /love/, I decided to start talking to her more often, but just enough to hold interest. These attempts have ended in another embrace, a walk with her to her vehicle, (As I, a devoted geek, have none.) and a few awkward talks from her (As in blush-esque, "Oh Hey! How was you day? Are you okay? See ya!" from the both of us.) 
With all this evidence, I would think that things are going hunky dory, yet she told me in afterschool theater that she is going under some major stress and would have to quit production in a week. Also, (probably because I didn't really speak loud enough) I couldn't get her attention in the cafeteria (Which was probably for the best since she was with a few friends.) so that was a tad disconcerning.
The main point of this rambling post is where should I go from here, am I doing it right, and how paranoid am I?  Help me 4-ch, you're my... err... one of many... sources... of help.

Do whatever you like.

You are on the right track. It's okay to be paranoid as long as you don't let it show. Most girls are turned off by that sort of neurotic type. It will be better for everybody if you just act confident.

>>1 Someone please fix this formatting disaster.

Advice: She may just be the touchy-friendly nice type, and you shouldn't push her boundaries. How to not do so? Just say that you're sorry if she has to leave the production, and then mention that you have been glad to have her company and tell her that you like her. (If she doesn't seem to get it, rephrase "You're attractive.") If she doesn't respond, say you wanted to say that in case you wouldn't be seeing much of each other.

If she kind of brushes it off or gives you the "Sorry, I don't feel that way" thing, then just go back to asking her about what's been stressing her out and see what you can do to help. (Usually help consists of talking to her and providing good advice, rather than simply saying "OH just talk about it" and affirming every thought she has. Girls like independent and rational thought, or so I hear.)
