Two magic words my friend: Erotic monopoly.
Google the rules, but tailor it for your own tastes and pace. It'll get round the self-conscious corniness of being intimate, because it's inherently corny and un-spontaneous anyway. Plus it starts very slowly, as monopoly does (for example, give a compliment for landing on old kent road, then a peck on the cheek for landing on a blue with no houses, all the way to Mayfair). You both have a long time to relax into it and slightly manipulate the situation in the form of the game (trading properties becomes a proxy for certain types of intimacy). It'll also give her something to think about other than being in an intimate situation, because it's really just a by-product of the game. If you want to take it really slow it doesn't even have to involve any actual sex. Have a bottle of wine with it too.
It's kinda like when young lads play spin the bottle with the girls they fancied. In my younger days I remember no one ever kissed anyone unless they already wanted to in the first place, some would say that defeats the point of the game, but I think that's actually the entire point of the game - take the pressure off actually initiating a kiss and make it fun and it suddenly becomes easier to do.
