As I find this thread interesting enough to talk about with people not on this forum, I got the following answer from my wife's parents:
If the object of your intentions was somehow rendered incapable of taking care of himself/herself, would you gladly take care of him/her?
I suppose some of gufu1992's problem is that many of the suggestions (mine no less than others) take the question far too seriously for someone who just wants to know if he should ask some girl out. If that is the case, ask her out and see if the relationship evolves into one where the more serious responses are applicable.
Communication is the key. Use your time together to find out what you share. Common interests are less important than common values. Do not be afraid to talk about how the two of you perceive the relationship, so that neither of you has unrealizable goals. Hopefully, you will recognize irreconcilable differences while it is still possible to part amicably.
