Ladies, could she be the love of my life?

Believe it or not opposites do attract, and in a big way. Take the initiative. Maybe she is waiting for you to make the first move. I do believe you have to be your own person, don't try to change for anyone but for your own self, otherwise it won't work. She is young yet and may not be too experienced in love matters, take it slow and make her laugh. You are already friends and that's more than half the way. lol.
