I think you're caring enough to not be too caring at first, you know? Like, hold back a little. Don't touch too much.
This guy once offered to come over in the morning and cook my friend breakfast, shortly after meeting her. He is genuinely a sweet, well-meaning person, but that really creeped her out. And I know that's just one example, so perhaps you wouldn't do something like that, but still...
It's alright to care, that's awesome! Just be careful how you express it, or you could scare the girl off. I know I bolt when a guy starts getting too serious/caring too soon. If the girl doesn't feel like she can match your affection, she might feel like there is an imbalance in the relationship and no longer feel good about the bond, like she is insufficient for not caring as much.
But in any case, you should treat every girl like a lady. It's good to be chivalrous.
If you treat a girl as if she were your lady before she technically is, I'd say that's not really a big deal. I mean, like buying her lunch or picking her up or running errands for her or whatever. That's not weird, that's just sweet... and it's an awesome way to say: Hey, I like you enough to make these little sacrifices. I want to date you.
So, go ahead and be yourself. The only thing you have to watch it with the poetry/I love you's and too much touching.
Good luck!
