Girlfriend has low libido, only thinks I want her/like her because of sex. [19F,24M]

So yeah. Title pretty much says it all.

I'm her first real lover, as in, first where sex has been a steady thing. I only get to see her for a few hours at a time, she's living with her parents and has a curfew. (Ridiculous, I know), so big trips and most night-time club events (I live in an apartment in the college town) are out of reach for her time schedule.

I thought that Valentine's would make pretty clear that I care a lot for her, and I do a lot of things for her (I drive her home on some days, I drive her to and from events, I offer to cook for her, I pay for her dinners, I take her on fancy dates and around the town whenever she's free to go). I've told her and offered examples of me showing her that I care, that she means a lot to me, and that I care about her deeply, but it feels like nothing is getting through to her or that the fear persists.

Certainly, we don't share many hobbies- I like bicycles and see zero appeal in consumerism or pop/brand culture, she sees bicycles and motorcycles as hazardous deathtraps. I accept that these are examples of differences in our opinions, but am willing to work around them because I care, and again, have told her as such. Not sure if she's getting the message, despite repeatedly stating it (in varying ways, no less).

How do I put her mind at ease?

    Materialism and favours are a way to show that you want to give her things. Love is more complicated than that. You can’t claim that driving someone to places is an expression of love, otherwise my friends and even taxi and bus drivers are deeply in love with me. Before you begin to blame her for not understanding your feelings for her, look at the way you’re communicating it.
