First of all I'm genuinely so fucking happy for you man.
If she's in to you she's nervous too. All you can do is try and describe how you feel as briefly as possible; something like "I could say a lot more if you want, but I'm really in to you and I want to make something more out of our relationship"
Good luck dude I sincerely hope she likes you back and you two end up being in a happy relationship

Thanks a lot man, I'm excited but scared. Its just super new to me and I want to get it right. Im not even really concerned about becoming exclusive partners or anything yet, it's just the introductory dating part that makes me nervous.

How is this at all frustrating? You had a good date. That's great. Ask her out again.

It's a huge mistake in dating to decide "oh, well, I want a girlfriend, this person seems nice enough and is attractive enough for me to want to fuck, thus I'm concluding that I must have THIS girl as a girlfriend."

What you should want is someone that you like (and you can't get to know someone without spending real time with them) who likes you. Yeah, it's disappointing when something promising doesn't work out, but that's better than being with someone who doesn't want to be with you, or that you don't want to be with, don't you think?

Fuck "getting it right". If someone likes you, you're going to have a lot of slack with them. If you have to jump through some very exact hoops to be "acceptable" then that's not someone who's really interested in you, that's someone who wants a person to fill a tightly defined role.
