Oh. Well. She was your wife. And you guys clearly did the deed. So it can't JUST be about making friends with her. You know her, she knows you. All this other stuff sort of keeps the ball rolling smoothly. Keeps it from being awkward. Calling her instead of text if you can means you don't want to avoid hearing from her or have some pause in between that you sometimes get with text. And food, like I said, fill in the awkward silences. Looking good and shaven says you care about what she thinks of you still. Sincere compliments mean you appreciate something about her, of course. And the meaningful conversation says you want to get to know her better. I pretty much learned through trial and error.
