I think it's great that you're playing HU.  It's good practice and everyone should try it as much as possible.
 
That said, I do think that HU's no exception for the streaks common to poker.  You're doing well so far, but I've a funny feeling you won't be able to tell just how good you are until you've played a lot more.  So keep playing and remember one size does not fit all.  There's no set in stone method to winning.  It's true that most of the time the aggressive player wins but I see a lot of head to head aggression where people are fighting fire with fire.  That's backwards.  You fight fire with water.  If your opponent's very aggressive then be passive and let him bet into you all he wants when you've got the best hand.  It should be obvious, but sometimes people forget.
 
Also, and this is just my nutty opinion, since you like $5 HU matches you should try the $2 matches with 4-8 entrants.  That way you have to win 2 - 3 times in a row to take it down(but you win more loot).  It's just my opinion but the more times you can win HU 2-3 times in a row, the better you are.  Like say you win 2-3 times in a row more than 50% of the times you've played total, then the better you are at heads up.  The 4-8 entrants thing just means you get paid better when you are that good.
