Get a strange and exotic pet, have it with you where ever you go, when she finally sees you, she will most likely inquire about the pet.
At this point tell her a heartwarming story about you and the pet overcoming diversity, facing hardship and separation, and spanning a contentment to be reunited, finding yourself and fixing your broken soul along the way. If she isn’t cooking you dinner by that point, she is probably a lesbian, and if that’s the case you were doomed from the start.
