I think the connection we had as two fans of a show not a lot of people know (EF: A Tale of Memories) is part of why she accepted, as it turns out she was actually really shy and her enthusiasm that someone recognized her costume was a "spur of the moment" thing. That, and I tried to help her find the one other EF cosplay I knew was attending the con (which I failed at).
I realize that my success here was very dependent on the fact I met the right person, but I hope it gives you an idea what can ground a relationship between two anime fans who were basically strangers.
(P.S. ~600 of my ~1500 photos from my last con are of her in costume.)

You Sir, have just succeeded where I have failed.
It doesn't help at all that I use a crappy digi-cam from back when developers had no idea what they were doing.
