But the best thing to do is to be patient. Once i get to know someone more the more open i am with them. Maybe its the same with this girl?

As was previously said, engage in conversation which include her interests.
She may be just shy and there is probably lots of things she wants to say.
Just give her time and allow her to become more comfortable around you. Soon she will start to feel more confident and will eventually open up her feelings and thoughts to you.
Patience is the key here, try not to pressure her to open up.

Ask her opinion on something that interests her. What does she like to do? Is she interested in a special show on TV? Is she a computing whiz? Does she raise chinchillas in the garage? Does she work for a political party? Does she dance? Is she a vegan?
You know her and her interests. If you can get her started on something she's passionate about, believe me, she'll talk with you, and all you have to do is keep asking questions.
This might require that you do a little research on a subject that she knows about, so you can ask intelligent questions about her interest, but I'd say it's worth the effort. Furthermore, she's likely to be secretly flattered that you made the effort.
