Figure out how to not bring up your relationship experience. There's the real skill.
Otherwise she will think you're comparing her to your ex at every turn. Resentment will build. Not healthy for either of you.
Relate the same way you'd relate to any person. Find like interests. Explore your similarities and differences. Talk about family,friends, how you were raised, current politics, silly stories or jokes...
