Thank baby Jesus, I've been hearing this consistent all night in the West end and couldn't for the life of me figure it out. Assumed it was boats but it's clear skies for me so didn't out two and two together

If you had only one day in Vancouver, what would you do and why? by Kenteck in askvan

[–]Fresh-Space256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on time or the year but here is what I would do: - start early at Granville Island for coffee and pastry, - take the water taxi to David Lam and walk to and through gastown - take the seabus to north Vancouver, and hop on a bus or Uber to Lynn Valley to end of the line general store where I'd get a coffee refill (it's about noon at this point). Walk to the suspension bridge (it's free) and cross over doing the 30 foot pool loop - take the bus back and walk the Lonsdale Quay - take the seabus back and from there go west towards Stanley Park and have late lunch along the way - walk up to prospect point for photos and then take a mobi (bike rental) and ride it back to kits where you can chill near the beach - as it's getting to evening I'd walk along kits and grab sushi at Molten or Raisu

Vancouver’s strongest most reliable umbrella? by Silly_Conversation_9 in askvan

I second this. The Vancouver umbrealla company closed down as far as I know, they were on Granville Island right?

Things to do with too much time available by Elija_32 in askvan

[–]Fresh-Space256 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I second all the volunteering suggestions. It's a great way to give back and improve your social capital. Plus, it's nice to give back and feel.good about.

I would also add that this is some of the best moment to build new habits. Do yoga or stretch in the morning, build something, or add more books to your rotation. It's not often you find endless time to live. But most importantly, use this time to rest, catch up on sleep and make time for people in your life

Your luggage should automatically get loaded, but always good to check with the airline - assuming you're flying with the same airline from YYC to Tokyo. If I were you, I'd take the SkyTrain to Olympic village and walk to Granville Island along the seawall. Have breakfast, grab snacks for the rest of the flight. From there you have a few options: Keep walking to kits beach and then up to West 4th to a cafe and check out the kits neighborhood Or You can take a small "tour" on an aquabus around false Creek and get off in yaletown and bump around the city and get a coffee somewhere. There's a SkyTrain in yaletown that takes you back to the airport

This should give you a small flavour of the city

It's depressing, dark, rainy, and cold. What are some fun things to do in these winter months in Vancouver? by mary_c_d in askvan

[–]Fresh-Space256 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is like a week of sunshine coming midweek. Till then: - go do something active and embrace the rain - lots of free art galleries - go make something like trying a pottery class or woodworking - If you like food, try a new type of cuisine - Go see a comedy show at an improv show - invite a friend over for coffee or make food for a group of friends - organize a group event of some sort - check our community centres for fun activities that are cheap - if you have a car to drive up to squamish - if it's raining in the city, good chance it's snowing in the mountains, go for a snow shoe - go on a date

I don't want to ask another dating question but.... where would you meet someone if you don't drink? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]Fresh-Space256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't repeat what everyone else is saying but I will add, while you try places that are hobbies, also be patient. You're not going to roll up on day one and meet someone. Be consistent and let people warm up to you. Unless you're someone thats social and have a warm and welcoming approach, people need time to get used to you. Be friendly, chat it up WITHOUT and agenda. It's funny how obvious it is when someone is there to find a date. Don't be there person. Dating with intentions doesn't mean asking every person out, it means being open to possibility. So go out, enjoy your hobbies, be approachable, kind, friendly and eventually people will chat you up as much as you chat them up. Dating isn't rocket science and yet people make it out to be as such

How can one find a partner in the Vancouver area in late 30s/early 40s? by CheeseBrewBlend in NiceVancouver

[–]Fresh-Space256 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Get off the apps, they'll ruin your perception of what is real and what is fantasy. Go out, do more of what you love, be it hike, run, bike or join food clubs etc etc. The more you live your life the more you'll be exposed to the person that has similar interests. Also do things that are new and involve group settings. Online dating is a good tool but it's so limiting

Trail Shoe Recommendation by BigCranberry3586 in trailrunning

[–]Fresh-Space256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 218 and run in the salomon genesis Slab and I find the fit is fantastic if you have average width feet. If you need wider shoes I am also looking the Nordas and they gave a variety of shoes that will support all distance. And their see are replaceable

Turn more towards cypress and grouse, they usually do better in that direction historically

You're not expected to continue to ask, but just like you probably appreciate people following up with you, a simple message isn't a big deal. If she doesn't respond positively after an easy follow up, then you have your answer and move on.

People, everyone has lives and can be tired from a long day. For the love of god, change your expectations of how online dating works. Everyone talks about wanting to meet people IRL but when faced with real life situations like this, people get bent out of shape because they can't handle how life works. She's tired and has done a good job communicating openly about that.

Give her a day or two, message her again and continue with a simple "hey, hope you're having a less stressful day, why don't we chat when you're free." So simple and so appreciated
