Please, Just Let Me Die Already

Thanks for the responses guys, didn't actually expect anything. :-P
Well obviously I'm not planning on trying to steal her away from her boyfriend - that's a pretty shitty thing to do, and it does go against everything I stand for. Also I'm not gonna go putting her in an awkward situation now, that'd totally defeat the point of the last few months.
It's not that she remains calm during awkward conversations, it just doesn't really faze her at all. Ok, the advice about making sure the time is awesome would be helpful, but I don't know how. I'm not the greatest conversationist.. :-P I'm not shy, I just don't really like talking that much. Also I have a really deep voice, and as a friend of mine recently said, she's sure everything I say is absolutely hilarious but she can't understand a damn thing I say. Are deep voices a good thing or not? :?
Oh yeah, I know I shouldn't say 'oh I'm totally obsessed with her' but there's no point in calling an orange an apple. I was gonna say more stuff, but I don't know what. Thanks for the responses again!

It's not a matter of doing anything dramatic, or even out of the ordinary. Much more important is to get to know just what stuff she likes - places, activities, food, talk, music, whatever - and unobtrusively make it likely to happen, and maybe extrapolate it a bit as well. Of course the best way to get to know that is to be around her enough to pick up the clues, but in the position you describe you may have to rely on memory and talking to others; but sometimes simply asking and being prepared to listen to the answer is pretty awesome.

the beach and cinemas, surfing/sleeping/parties, chocolate cake, hawthorne heights and dashboard confessional..
:-)
I haven't only just met her, so we do know quite a bit about each other. Oh and I know her taste in music is.. Questionable. she's not just a emo teenager. :-P
It's not finding the common ground that is the problem, it's actually starting the conversation. But I'm surely I'll manage. Thanks for the advice though! It will all come in useful. At the moment however I'm willing to just be patient and be a good friend - I'm fairly competent at that.
MrBlu:
Well get to it.
