Welcome to the board... you have more beard than you give credit for... you can have a nice circle beard at the very least but I can't tell on the sides. If you are someday going to call this 'beard-friendly' girl a gf, then for sure you're not going to admit to her that you will wait for a beard... on the contrary, tell her you've been looking into this and learned that it'll take a few months to see your potential and you are excited to give it a try.  Whether you stick with her or not, please stick with the beard.
