If you are interested in someone, how much enthusiasum is appropriate for showing the other person that you are interested?

Also, is it possible to appear so enthusiastic as the possibility of spending time with them that you make yourself appear undesirable?

There's this guy that I've been casually talking to, and I sorta like him and he's made it pretty clear that he liked me - from the last time i saw him, at least. We met before winter break and we spoke a lot during, which I think is good. This is frusturating, though, because so much has been said that I feel like I am beginning to fumble over my words when talking to him. I really hope he's not thinking "oh, she's a fool, I should move on"

Do people generally think like this? If you get to know somebody too much, do you see their eccentricities in a condescending manner? It's hard to tell because all of this was happening online, and I know emotions get fumbled up there, but I know for a fact that I wasn't making that much of a fool of myself. Though I'm a bit odd, I know my limits.

Still, though, I can't seem to assume anything but the worst, and I only want to think this way if my assumptions are actually correct. Somebody please give me peace of mind!

It might make you appear needy if it seems like you want to spend time with them too much. I'm not to sure how guys react to that though. I know that appearing needy is a huge turn-off for girls.
