I am not talking about making her your girlfiriend without getting to know her but about NOT to destroy or lower chances until you have finally decided if you want her as a gf or not.

We start out as friends, and if after some time together she proves herself worthy, she can possibly become something more.
Tell me if I am wrong, but it sounds like you are coming from an excuser frame David D. and others usually indoctrinate. Sounds like you have still fear of rejection and that´s why you want to be in the secure habor of being friends with her and she has to prove herself. This way she has all the risk and you have no.
But a man is the one who should take the risk. Stop excusing yourself here and unless you are not sure you want her NOT, act like you want her.

I try to use it like David D. suggests: to remind me to relax, lean back, and that I don't need anything from her. I'm the prize, and I'm qualifying her.
Someone who is the prize doesn´t need to qualify anyone. People who are on top of the world are able to give and not only to take. Dude, you have a good feeling with this girl, so be nice to her and have a good time being together with her. After all, all you want to achieve with all this David D. stuff is making her like you. The real 'prize' dosen´t need to make anyone like him cause he has enough value by himself.

If I start out with the mentality that I want her to be my girlfriend and show her special attention, I'm more apt to screw up somewhere early on.
Again, fear of rejection is holding you back here. Work on this, stop being afraid of screwing up. Screwing up is the risk and as a man you are the one supposed to take the risk.
Good luck.
