"I think this is the the girl but I really need some great date ideas, and great things to say."

The last 4 words are the problem. You want someone to tell you what to say! This is kind of like the movie scenes where the guy is wired and someone is telling him what to say next. It doesn't work that way. You will be found out in the 3 rd sentence. You have to be yourself.

She is into fine wines. Do you know anything about wine? If you do then fine you have a common area of interest. If not, then it's best to just be honest about it. Women know when they are being pursued by phony talk. This is the time to learn a different approach.

In sales a powerful technique is the open ended question. I'm sure you can find more by googling that term. Goes something like this. She says, " I am really into Fine Wines".
You say, "Really? Tell me how you got interested". "She says something else. You come up with another question that plays off her previous statement. When you get really good at it, you can have a conversation where the other person does most of the talking and you listen. Women talk about two or three times as much as men. So this techique fits their tendencies. Watch overdoing it.

Also women often are put off by guys following them around like a puppy. In other words, you may have to act somewhat dis-interested to make them interested in you.
