OGOP) "The problem is when you're born and raised in a life, and know absolutely nothing else, you're not going to take well to somebody telling you its time to leave it all behind. All your friends, your entire social life, some of your beliefs, etc."

Brother, you really want this girl to leave her friends, companions, social life, and beliefs all behind? And knowing that she would not take well to you for saying its time to leave it all behind you think to conceal your true feelings from her?

If this is love, its not the marrying kind.

I think you should meditate on posts #7, #9, #10, and #11 on the first day of this hopeful new year and every day therafter until they sink in. Let their message penetrate your heart deeply, else I think both you and she are heading for a world of hurt.
