talking and honesty are important and a way of coming to 'agreements' etc
maybe you could also have a long hard think about what you know of your girl and try and work from that not just about her likes and dislikes cans and cant dos no go areas etc, but perhaps try thinking up things that you could help you get to know her and the way she views her submission and your Dominance.

maybe you could try and make some of the rules and tasks more mentally focused rather than just the physical aspects etc that will give her time to really think about things adjust and 'settle' into your D/s side of the r/ship.

this might lead to more talking,more undertanding of both your needs and whats right for you both, the more you can learn work together and learn together the better.

if its a semi-serious D/s r/ship then keeping things pretty simple and not imposing too many rules and too much discipline might be a good way to start,to help ease you into things.
