Whether you happen to be dating someone new or you’ve been with the same girl for years, it’s a good idea to break away from doing the same old boring “date stuff” and occasionally introduce something new and exciting into the mix.\u00a0\u00a0To help get your creative juices flowing, this dating coach <\/a>is\u00a0gonna share with you one\u00a0of\u00a0his favorite date ideas that contains (what\u00a0he considers to be) the three most important components of a quality date:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. It\u2019s cheap<\/p>\n

2. There\u2019s alcohol involved<\/p>\n

3. You have great logistics (aka: the environment is conducive to getting sexual)<\/p>\n

I call it: The Vaynerchuk Experience<\/p>\n

I came up with this idea after stumbling upon the website: www.winelibrary.tv<\/a> a couple of years back. The site\u00a0belongs to a\u00a0wine expert by the name of Gary Vaynerchuk who\u00a0puts\u00a0together\u00a0a daily video blog about wine. Before I get into date details, I’d like to give you a little background on this social media superstar.<\/p>\n

When they first came to the USA from Russia, Gary\u2019s parents opened up a wine store in NJ and immediately put young Gary to work. By the time he reached his mid-twenties, Gary realized that he had amassed a lot of knowledge on the topic in addition to possessing an ability to get people pumped up about wine.<\/p>\n

So one day, he decided to give video blogging a try. He would turn\u00a0on his\u00a0camcorder, taste a few different wines and offer his unique insights and suggestions. His idea was to get people interested in the wines from his shows and then have them visit his family\u2019s website to order them (a great idea which helps eliminate the hassle of having to go from store to store to track down what you want).<\/p>\n

After a year of pumping out daily episodes, he still didn\u2019t\u00a0have much of an audience. But sometime during his second year, the word finally got out and his audience started blowing up. Now, three years after starting his little video blog, Gary has over 80,000 viewers that tune in religiously to hear what he has to say. By sticking with his original plan and not giving up, he was able to grow his family\u2019s store into a\u00a0$50+ million dollar company through the power of online media and social networking.<\/p>\n

Not only do I admire Gary for his persistence and dedication to becoming a maven in his field, but I really enjoy the content he puts out. His shows are extremely entertaining (you’ll just have to see for yourself) and very educational. I highly recommend his show to anyone who is even just a little bit curious about wine.<\/p>\n

Getting back\u00a0on track…\u00a0Let\u2019s say that\u00a0the girl you’re dating\u00a0happens to enjoy Cabernet Sauvignons. Winelibrarytv.com gives you the ability to search through\u00a0the show archives by wine type, so you would go ahead and do a search for Cabernets. Next, you can watch the shows that pop up and look for a Cabernet that is either highly rated, or that sounds like something you would enjoy based on the way Gary describes the taste and complexities. Once you have a cool wine picked out, you can either try to find it locally, or you can order it online direct from Gary.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

So now that you\u00a0have a bottle ready to go, go ahead and pitch the date idea to your girl. I like to introduce it by saying that I have a really cool surprise for her, while setting up an arbitrary condition, i.e. \u201cI have this awesome surprise for you but there\u2019s a catch\u2026 I’ll only bring it over if you promise to dress up like Rainbow Brite.\u201d This is a good way to build up her curiosity and get her excited for the date (I do this a few days in advance which usually results in\u00a0your girl pestering you for more info. Don\u2019t wuss out and ruin the surprise).<\/p>\n

\n

When the day arrives, I\u2019ll scoop up my laptop and the bottle of wine and head over to her place. While I\u2019m setting up my computer, I\u2019ll start telling\u00a0her Gary\u2019s story \u2013 the same one I just told you. Next, I\u2019ll ask her to go in the kitchen and grab us some glasses and a corkscrew.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Now, if you happen to be\u00a0hanging out with a group of people, make sure to pour the wine in order starting with the oldest girl to the youngest girl, and then the oldest guy down to the youngest guy. This is considered the \u201cpolite\u201d way to pour for a group. After you do this, you can tell them the following story about how this custom originated.<\/p>\n

\n

The funny thing is, there is nothing polite about this custom at all. Back in the day (love this phrase lol), royal families had to constantly worry about their enemies using poison to kill them off. And since the most common way to do this was with liquids, they were forced to take\u00a0a few\u00a0precautions.<\/p>\n

\n

One of these\u00a0entailed having the women in the room taste whatever the family was drinking before the men did, starting with the oldest woman and moving on down to the youngest. Then, they would start with the oldest man and go down to the youngest child. They essentially went in order starting with the least important member of the family (“important” in terms of being able to contribute to the family lineage).<\/p>\n

\n

So if the wine was poisoned, poor granny would float up to the magical bingo room in the sky before the youngest of the males brought the cup to his lips, saving little Junior from imminent death. Rejoice! (yes, I’m aware that this is absolutely horrible. I’m\u00a0ashamed of myself for even bringing\u00a0it up. Bad, bad person am I.)<\/p>\n

\n

\n

While this story makes you seem intelligent and cultured (ok, maybe not so much), you should refrain from repeating what you’ve just read if your date\u2019s grandmother is the designated chaperone for the evening. (I’ve made this mistake a few times. Whoops. )<\/p>\n

\n

Getting back on track, it\u2019s actually a lot of fun to watch these episodes while tasting the wine along with Gary. This is a great way for you and your girl to learn about wine together and anyone else who is hanging out with you (friends, roommates, etc.) will enjoy the experience as well. It gets everyone involved, having fun and most importantly, drinking alcohol. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\n

The other cool thing is, if your girl enjoys the experience, you can easily do this a few times a month, since Gary puts out a new show everyday. And since he occasional talks about which wines he’ll be tasting in advance (he calls them \u201cmystery packs\u201d), you can buy them before the show comes out and have a fresh experience as you taste the wines along with Gary.<\/p>\n

\n

\n

The best part is,\u00a0you now have\u00a0a great reason to cuddle up next to your girl on the couch without\u00a0having to go\u00a0the\u00a0night-at-home-with-Netflix route. Interactive wine tasting sure beats the\u00a0snot out of watching “Twilight” for the sixth-billionth time (sorry ladies).<\/p>\n

\n

Also, in case you aren\u2019t aware, the stage will be perfectly set for sex. But before you bust out your player moves, I recommend that you wait until everyone else in the room takes off… or at least passes out. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

\n

Of course, if you wield a mighty pimp hand, you can ignore this bit of advice and even go one step further by\u00a0asking your date’s sister to join in, but I can tell you from experience that\u00a0drunken date\u00a0+ hitting on the sister = corkscrew in the eye.<\/p>\n

\n

But if you have a good insurance plan, by all means, give it a go and report back. I promise to come visit you in the hospital.<\/p>\n

\n

Till next time…<\/p>\n
