Guys!! Super uplifting thread!! I'm glad to see that all of you are on a good vibe these days.

A DB move would be more along the lines of coming up with something she might like to do (sailing, ceramics class, whatever) and tell her you're going and ask if she'd like to join you. If she says "no" then act as if that's fine with you, and you go anyway. There's much less pressure in this scenario, she's going along with you to something you want to do anyway rather than being pressured into accepting a "date".
Good idea from AS. What about planning something with your S (that your W might like to do) and mentioning it in passing? Family time might get you guys doing something together and might be a step towards something else?
