Another vote here for asking.
The approach of saying "did you have a good weekend" to start a conversation, and then seeing if she mentions an SO can work, as can "I see that new movie/play/restaurant is opening soon - have you got plans to go with your SO?".
Just remember, thinking about things doesn't get things done - DOING thing gets things done.
