Help with possible relationship?

Question

I met a girl a few months ago, but I am having trouble reading her. She is constantly busy, and doesn't look like that will be changing anytime soon. Recently, it has been feeling like she has been losing interest... I don't really believe she is, but with whats happened lately I can't help it.
First, her parents don't like the idea of her dating me because I am a little older (19 she is 17), so they won't let her. She had been telling me that it was because they don't know me, but according to her friend it is just simply that I am older, and meeting them wouldn't help. Whenever we hang out, it has to be with other friends of hers.
Second, I have hardly gotten to talk to her within the last several weeks. Her phone broke, she got grounded, and she doesn't have access to a computer. When I have talked to her, she is always working on something and doesn't really have time for a conversation.

I want to do something that shows her I appreciate her, and the little time we do get to spend together. When we first met and were talking almost every day for hours, she mentioned her favorite rock was quartz and she kind of collects it, or used to anyways.

I just went to a museum yesterday and they had a gift shop... but of course they were out of quartz, so I got a chunk of amethyst instead that I want to give to her next time we meet, and I gave her a compliment that I said I would have to repeat in person last time we talked(since it was about her eyes).

Any other suggestions to let her know how special I think she is?

I get the feeling you are gushing over this girl. Very bad strategy. Show her you like her and are interested in her, but for at least the first year don't act like she has totally won your heart. Women love the fantasy of love at first site and a guy being totally head over heals for them, but they hate the reality of it and see you as almost a stalker.

Women think love that is so easy to acquire is worthless.

Be cool, take it slower, don't be always available.
