I feel the same my friend. I'm also an aspiring artist who wants to get into the video game industry with either game art or animations. I have distractions that takes me away from my focus in life as an artist. I haven't really met any girls yet that truly fills in the hole inside me, so I try to make myself become the best artist I can so that I may meet someone out there who would appreciate my art and who I am.
I see that your current situations is different from mine, since you have found a girl that you like. Which is a major distraction to your goal in becoming a comic artist. So I would try to ask her out after you get to know her better. You will continue to be lost until you solve the problem in front of you.
