Firstly, don't force nothing. Friendship first, then relationship. Otherwise it doesn't feel genuine and u got a lot more chance of getting rejected. Also, if you have lots of things in common try and develop those things as much as you can. Most of all just show interest in her as a person. None of this showing off shtuffs. Also probably not helpful but once I gave up on trying to get women I was much happier as a person. Also good luck! You're gonna need it XD.
