I don't own a TV (well, I do, but it's in my game room and only used for old school video games), Netflix account, or anything that involves television.
What I find works is bringing her back to my house, fixing a drink (with a napkin, ice rock, and straws) and turning on music. My Sonos speakers were the best $3k I ever spent. Maybe I'll play my acoustic guitar, or cook a meal. Analog guy in a digital world.
I'm not trying to be a prick, but TV is so ordinary.
I rock out with the same Klipsch 6 piece set I bought in 1995, recently the neighbor in the house behind me came over just to see what he was hearing over at his place.
Hank, what is your go to cocktail of choice? Assuming you stay in frame and serve something out of the ordinary.
Women tend to like vodka, cranberry, and club. I make it with a blue napkin, and black straws. Looks cool and it's easy to drink.
If I'm feeling fancy, I'll throw some frozen fruit into the Ninja, add wine and rum. Sangria.
Women tend to dig anything with a red hue.
Otherwise, my bar is pretty basic but the presentation works. Pony bottles of club soda, tonic, ginger ale, Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Diet Sprite. Ice bucket. Vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and whiskey. Bitters and olives. (Cranberry juice has to be kept in the fridge). Boxed wine put into a decanter. Bar strews, blue napkins.
Personally, I just drink whiskey on the rocks. But with a big ass rock.

For some reason, the big rock makes a world of difference in presentation, and the set cost me $10.
Glassware: red wine glasses, white wine glasses, tumblers, and martini glasses. A few pint glasses in the freezer for beer drinkers. I keep some basic beers in the fridge, but they'll go untouched for months.
Also, to answer OPs question, I keep board games at my house. 70s board games. Board games force her to interact with you, plus she's probably never seen another dude bust out a game of Scrabble.
They look cool and they're nostalgic. You'd be amazed at how many times I've gotten laid over a game of Scrabble.
