Well women tend to judge a man in many ways; one way is by how well he treats his mother so this may be a good opportunity to show your love and respect for women.
However people tend to change a lot from their youth to adulthood so I would strongly advise a friendship and nothing more than that until you are both 100% positive about each other.
You are also very young and it is normal and correct to want a companion but everything should come in its time. Just Enjoy your time together and avoid any premature decisions. Patience is a virtue!
