Talk to her just like you did when you met her - you haven't transformed into a different person since then, so you don't need to change how you speak other than to make sure you're polite and respectful. If you're not, you run the risk of becoming Crompsin, only able to get dates by whacking them over the head and towing them back to his cave (although what he does with them in the cave is a mystery, what with the smooth spot and all).

This is a very important part of Jazz's advice (all of which was good). Try to remember that she is approachable. And, even if you're nervous, fake that confidence.
On the other hand,

this is adorable. I'm a sucker for the guys who are nervous around girls (they tend to be sweeter). Saying this will also act like an icebreaker.
