I think you're over-thinking it. Don't go into it with the intention of "getting into a relationship," try "getting to know you to see if you're relationship material and interested in me."
The latter is a bit more easy-going which is really important for a couple of major reasons: to help you save face if he's not interested and to help salvage a friendship in the event you want one since a relationship is now out of the question.
I don't think there's anything "wrong" in showing interest... but the way you go about should kinda be "easy and breezy." Kinda like easy come, easy go.
That way you can enjoy the experience enough that whatever the outcome, it would have been an experience worth having.
Hope that helps! Sorry it's full of "useless" clichés but the thing is, when it comes to dating you can't really control things (situations, people or outcomes) because another person is involved, so you might as well focus on enjoying yourself rather than the end goal.
