You have a fantastic camera, but your eye needs work.
Find a huge group of flowers - take a picture of *one*. Make it the best picture you can possibly think of... the angle, the focus (like making the other blurry and it stands out?), the way the light is playing on it... pick ONE and take a picture of it.
Now, find another huge group of flowers that are a different color. Again, pick ONE... but change something in the way you approach taking the pic.
Do this with as many different groups of flowers that you can, then take the pics home and compare them.
Using the different colors you can easily identify what it was you were doing in that picture that makes it different from the other pictures. (This is why you don't just keep shooting the same flower different ways.)
Identify what methods worked best to make the best pictures.
Keep doing this with different subjects... practice, practice, practice until you can look at a subject and see it from all of those different methods, and hopefully know which one of those will look best.
PRACTICE.
If you can't do it with flowers and can only do it with your girlfriend, then have her sit in the same exact spot with the same exact lighting conditions, etc - but in each shot she changes shirts. Again, you need something to help you identify one method you were using versus another method you were using.
