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.)

Good for you, taking the initiative! I must admit my fiance and I couldn't be more different, and she generally has very little interest in anime. People date each other for a multitude of reasons that I can't even begin to explain or comprehend, sometimes things just happen..
1) She admitted she dated me because she liked how I looked, thought I was a bad boy, and I used to have lots of muscles
2) I dated her cause I thought she was an articulate girl with lots of potential .. and I happened to be single and felt like dating again ..
= And now we're engaged after dating for 7.5 years!
I just noticed you were from Vancouver, my hometown, hope the weather is treating you well! I tend to find that people from Vancouver have less than 3 degrees of separation between each other
