Hi, Kirkland, welcome to PsychCentral.

I would add sensual in first; touches on the shoulder, occasional hugs, pats on the knee; get the day-to-day "human" partnership going so that the familiarity builds to the sexual. Do some light talking, joking, sharing of things you enjoy. Appreciate her. My husband always thanks me when I make dinner, that I took the time and made the effort, whether he likes what I made or not. He enjoys when I experiment and come up with something different. I, in turn, enjoy his enjoyment of me and we get a self-perpetuating, enjoyment, appreciation cycle going that builds.
