Oh boy. Well I get the sense that you are making excuses to be around her. "She's outside doing stuff so I will putter around working on projects outside." "Oh, I better go warn her about that snake I saw the other day (that is probably in another county by now)." "She's going inside, I think I'll follow her in just in case she needs something." DETACH. To 25's point, why were you there AT ALL. GAL means "get out" and do something. If you know she's coming over, then get dressed up and go do something. Maybe be pulling out of the drive as she's pulling in and wave to her and drive off. Make her wonder what you're up to.
