If it's me I'd simply suggest meeting for coffee, tea whatever. That way it's just a casual low pressure experience for both of you. Over coffee ask her about herself as suggested.......... respond when there is something in common.......... show appreciation for what seems to be important to her. Ask questions if or when appropriate. People appreciate being taken seriously.
Step two would be a day date based on something in common, hiking boating, tennis. whatever.
Don't mention the JW's or religion. Don't boast......... downplay your accomplishments like being a semi-pro tennis player to just liking tennis.
It's very appealing to learn about another person's accomplishments over a more extended time frame..........a first date is not a job interview.
Make a new friend first then a relationship may come along.
Best of luck!
