You can help her choose a few outfits to get the ball rolling and give her endless compliments as she shows you her look. We bet she’ll happily keep modeling for you all day after that!

8. Go wine tasting

While the rainy weather might not make exploring vineyards very fun — it’s still a great time to go wine tasting!

See if you can also request someone to walk you through each wine and describe the subtle flavors and notes to pay attention to.

9. Watch her favorite movie — in a private theater
