Keep up the usual, dating, just spend sometime together keeping no expectations, just try and enjoy having her around. Would she go to C?
When physical affection lacks it hurts so, I remember. Would she allow you to hold her hand? would she read a R book w/you? As someone said here a while ago, to feel love, you have to do loving things (gestures), it is hard for the WAS who comes back to understand this.
Keep being who you are, the good listener and friend. It hurts to think this way, but the old R is gone, it's like starting something you, you and her have changed after your ordeal. Now you both have to learn to love the new "you". Start slow, if she allows you to hold her hand for a little while, good, keep it at first base for a while and go from there. Mostly find something to do that you both truly enjoy and don't focus about doing/saying the wrong thing.
