10 Signs Your First Date Failed

Published

April 20, 2017

If you’re a vigorous player on the dating field, you need to have one very important skill – that is the ability to embrace failures. You’re not secured against unsuccessful dates, so be ready to figure out that a girl is not very much into you and a second date is not in her plans. Here is how her behavior gives her away. Thanks to our kind friends, Dating Brides, for providing us with this crucial information.

She wasn’t nervous. Don’t confuse it with the elaborately concealed anxiety. A first date is a stressful event for both of you. If your woman does care, she’ll be at least a little nervous. Calmness is usually an indicator of indifference. She doesn’t give a thing to a small piece of dill stuck between her teeth because she hopes to never see you again.

She avoided eye contact. Women flirt using their main weapon – eyes. If she actively casts glances, stares at you and then modestly looks away, she is trying to seduce you or show her interest in you. If she doesn’t do anything like that or, even worse, avoids establishing eye contact looking at anything but you, this date with her will be your last.

You didn’t break the distance barrier. If a woman is attracted to a man, she’ll unconsciously cut the distance between her and him. Sitting across the table, she’ll lean towards her companion, accidentally touch his hand, or adjust her hair. If there is not a hint at narrowing the distance between you two or establishing a tactile contact – that’s bad. And don’t think she’s paralyzed by your charm.

She couldn’t stop checking her phone. She was answering calls, texting, and scrolling through her Facebook feed. She was as if saying, “This video of a yawning cat is far more interesting than our date.”

Communication wasn’t smooth. Awkward silence kept setting in, your jokes were getting less witty, and she didn’t even try to save the situation. Perhaps, it was a pleasure for her to observe how you were desperately trying to breeze life into your conversation.

She didn’t try to find any commonality between you. If a girl aims to establish common interests and other shared aspects, she’s interested in you. It’s important for her to realize that you are on common ground. So, she’ll show how glad she is that you have similar views or like one and the same band. An indifferent girl will ignore any similarity between you and won’t show she cares.

She mentioned her exes. Probably, every educated man and woman knows that this topic is a taboo on a first date. So, if your date deliberately violates this unwritten rule of the dating etiquette, she is either not that interested in you or is not that available as you might think.

She rejected your offer to continue the date. She doesn’t want to have a cup of coffee at another very atmospheric place; she doesn’t want to take a stroll in the park; she doesn’t want to listen to your childhood story once again. That’s bad. If something makes us happy or gives us pleasure, we want to prolong it. If the main part of your date lasted about an hour and your woman is not keen on continuing it, the date is deemed unsuccessful.

She had other plans. She doesn’t conceal from you that she’s going to a party with her friends or meeting with her colleagues right after your date is over. The verdict is clear as day – she didn’t fall for you. And vice versa, if she cancels her appointments just to be with you, you can be sure you impressed her.

You said goodbye hastily. Of course, the atmosphere that exists between you throughout your date is extremely important. However, the way you end your date is even more significant. Although meaningless conversations, expressive moments of silence, prolonged stares may seem dumb from the side, in fact, they are positive symptoms. But if a girl says she’s leaving and leaves without looking for an excuse to stay, forget her – most probably she leaves for good.

What to Look for in a Marijuana Smoking Device

Though there are various ways to enjoy marijuana, smoking remains the most popular way to get high. This method also happens to have the most devices available.

When buying a smoking device, you must get a high-quality product. Not all apparatuses are made the same way and provide the same doses. Various studies prove that the device you use is equally important as the weed itself and can make the overall smoking experience better.

Buying a suitable smoking device is all about understanding your preferences and tailoring accessories accordingly.

The Main Types of Pipes

There are many ways for cannabis users to smoke marijuana. A hand pipe, also known as a dry pipe or bowl, is a convenient and easy method to smoke weed, especially for people who occasionally smoke. Featuring a small chamber, a hand pipe delivers harsher hits than other types of marijuana pipes.

On the other hand, a water pipe or a bong is ideal for experienced users. From small designs to large, water pipes, unlike hand pipes, contain specific chambers to hold water and deliver a smoother experience.

The one-hitter is a tiny and discrete pipe designed for a single inhalation or, as the name suggests, one hit. One-hitters are popular because they help users control the dosage of their marijuana intake.

And then, there are portable vape or vape pens that offer a smoke-free experience. Vape pens are a discreet way of getting your fix when on the go.

How To Choose A Good Dry Pipe

Whether you are looking to get high at home or while hanging out with friends, pipes make consuming cannabis much easier and quicker than packing blunts or rolling joints. As they are practical, every marijuana user must have at least one good dry pipe. With so many different pipes available at various price ranges, you should consider multiple factors to find a suitable dry pipe.

The first thing you should consider is size. The size directly translates to portability. For those who travel a lot, a pipe smaller in size might be ideal. In contrast, if you plan to use the dry pipe as a tabletop centerpiece, you might want something bigger.

Additionally, smoking pipes are made from different materials. While commonly made from glass, marijuana smoking pipes can also be made from wood, metal, or ceramic. Typically, glass pipes are the best option for marijuana smokers as you will be treated to smooth and flavorful smoke regardless of the strain.

You should also take into consideration your budget when looking to buy a marijuana dry pipe. Remember that a low price doesn’t always translate to a low-quality product. You will still be able to land some great deals if you look around.

How To Choose A Good Water Pipe

To find a good water pipe, size is the first thing you should consider. If you are passing the bong with your friends, a larger bong might be a better option. On the other hand, if it is for more personal use, choose a smaller one.

Secondly, think about the material. Cannabis users often prefer glass as it provides the cleanest and the purest-tasting hits. However, it can easily break and is usually pricey. So, for a rowdier situation, an acrylic water pipe might be a better option.

How To Choose A Good One Hitter

If you are looking to buy a one-hitter, the pipe’s material is the primary concern as one-hitters are all generally the same size. The material can affect flavor and durability, so you must choose wisely. The common materials used to make one-hitters are glass, acrylic, and metal.

One-hitters made from glass offer an unparalleled flavor, while those made from acrylic and metal can make the hit less flavorful.

Furthermore, one-hitters highlight various features like a removable bowl, self-ashing mechanism, design that allows for easier cleaning, and heat resistance.

How To Choose A Good Portable Vape

Unlike desktop vapes, portable vapes are easy to carry around and use discreetly. What’s more, they tend to be less expensive and versatile, making them an ideal option for beginners. When looking for a portable vape pen, you should consider if they are made for vaping dry herb or wax.

The next thing you should consider is battery life. This factor is vital if you are on the go without access to a device charger. A few vaporizers come with external batteries, while others have long battery lives.

Furthermore, you should consider things like temperature control and the type of heating—conduction or convection. Also, see if the vape pen is easy to clean or not. Lastly, look at the price. As you will be holding onto your vaporizer for a while, it is a good idea to invest in a quality product from a certified seller like WeedSmart, a Canadian marijuana dispensary.

Explore the Arena of Marijuana Smoking Devices

With a wide array of marijuana smoking devices available on the market, it might be daunting to decide the one that’s best for you. The right choice for you will depend on your needs and what you think might be the best for you. If you don’t like a specific device’s feel, you can always look for other options.

The Tide

Once upon a time, there lived a poor widow and her son, Jack. One day, Jack’s mother told him to sell their only cow. Jack went to the market and on the way, he met a man who wanted to buy his cow. Jack asked, “What will you give me in return for my cow?” The man answered, “I will give you five magic beans!” Jack took the magic beans and gave the man the cow. But when he reached home, Jack’s mother was very angry. She said, “You fool! He took away your cow and gave you some beans!” She threw the beans out of the window. Jack was very sad and went to sleep without dinner.

The next day, when Jack woke up in the morning and looked out of the window, he saw that a huge beanstalk had grown from his magic beans! He climbed up the beanstalk and reached a kingdom in the sky. There lived a giant and his wife. Jack went inside the house and found the giant’s wife in the kitchen. Jack said, “Could you please give me something to eat? I am so hungry!” The kind wife gave him bread and some milk.

While he was eating, the giant came home. The giant was very big and looked very fearsome. Jack was terrified and went and hid inside. The giant cried, “Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive, or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread!” The wife said, “There is no boy in here!” So, the giant ate his food and then, went to his room. He took out his sacks of gold coins, counted them and kept them aside. Then, he went to sleep. In the night, Jack crept out of his hiding place, took one sack of gold coins and climbed down the beanstalk. At home, he gave the coins to his mother. His mother was very happy and they lived well for sometime.

He climbed the beanstalk and went to the giant’s house again. Once again, Jack asked the giant’s wife for food, but while he was eating, the giant returned. Jack leapt up in fright and went and hid under the bed. The giant cried, “Fee-fifo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive, or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread!” The wife said, “There is no boy in here!” The giant ate his food and went to his room. There, he took out a hen. He shouted, “Lay!” and the hen laid a golden egg. When the giant fell asleep, Jack took the hen and climbed down the beanstalk. Jack’s mother was very happy with him.

After some days, Jack once again climbed the beanstalk and went to the giant’s castle. For the third time, Jack met the giant’s wife and asked for some food. Once again, the giant’s wife gave him bread and milk. But while Jack was eating, the giant came home. “Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive, or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread!” cried the giant. “Don’t be silly! There is no boy in here!” said his wife.

The giant had a magical harp that could play beautiful songs. While the giant slept, Jack took the harp and was about to leave. Suddenly, the magic harp cried, “Help master! A boy is stealing me!” The giant woke up and saw Jack with the harp. Furious, he ran after Jack. But Jack was too fast for him. He ran down the beanstalk and reached home. The giant followed him down. Jack quickly ran inside his house and fetched an axe. He began to chop the beanstalk. The giant fell and died.

Jack and his mother were now very rich and they lived happily ever after.
