I don't think you mean in an established relationship, do you?
Try and establish eye contact. If you catch her eye, try and determine whether she thinks you're creepy, or not. Try smiling. If she smiles back or looks approachable, then go talk to her. Ask questions, listen to replies. Try and make her laugh, but don't be crude. Be open, and friendly and receptive. Try a compliment and see how she takes it. Do her small favours and kindnesses. You don't want to go touching her all over before you get things progressed to a certain stage, but If you feel rapport, you might put a gentle hand on a shoulder, or arm. Hands, faces, hair, and torso are off limits unless you are fairly intimately acquainted.
That might be more info than you wanted, but I hope some of it helps.
That's good advice. There's a lady friend of mine at work who I really like, and I've been doing these things listed here. So far, it hasn't freaked her out. I have even touched her hands on several occassions, and she didn't mind at all. I think she's comfortable around me.
