When you approach a girl, as a friend or as a date, both of you are out of your comfort zones. Both of you don’t know the other person’s likes and dislikes. And most importantly, there’s nothing common to talk about yet.
So with every sentence you say, the discomfort in the air would only increase unless you cut the tension with something.
And that’s where humor can help make things comfortable for both of you. Humor is universal and something everyone can relate to unless you’re making crude jokes about body parts.
Just like it’s easier for two people to have things in common to talk about when they’re at an art gallery, a music concert or even at a hospital, using something that both of you can relate to will help you break the ice and make the girl feel more comfortable in your presence. In every situation where both of you don’t have too many things to talk about, humor will always come to your rescue.
Humor will not only make the girl you’re talking to feel comfortable around you, but it also makes her laugh, feel happy and have a nice time with you. And at the end of the conversation, it will leave her thinking fondly of you because she had a nice time with you!
You can exchange flirty glances with a girl the whole night, but if you can’t make a move and have a fun conversation with her, you won’t be able to impress her. And that’s where the effectiveness of good humor can help you win her over.
10 things to remember while trying to make a girl laugh
Now that you understand the need for humor and the little nuances that matter in differentiating a wannabe funny guy and a truly funny guy, use these 10 humor tips that are always effective with the ladies.#1 Situational humor. Use circumstances around you to say something funny. If you notice something funny around you, talk about it. If she’s noticed it too, she’d definitely be able to relate to what you have to say.
#2 Don’t be mean. For many guys, being mean to another friend or a minion may seem like the easiest way to make a girl laugh. But that’s not humor, that’s just you being mean and it will only make the girl dislike you.
#3 Self-deprecating humor. Women love self-deprecating humor. It makes them feel comfortable instantly because you let them see that you’re willing to put yourself down just to humor them.
#4 Tease her. Teasing a girl is a great way to make her laugh and have a cute fight with you. Once you get to know her and you’re a few minutes into the conversation, put her down about something that she’s very confident about. She’d retaliate in jest immediately and she’d know you’re only teasing her anyway.
#5 The dumb dude. Pretend to be dumb and clueless about something she says *as long as it’s trivial* and then let her know you knew it already. She may take offense, but if you laugh it off immediately while placing your arm around her, she’ll laugh along.
#6 Flirt discreetly. Flirting is always a great way to make a girl laugh, and even better, blush. If there are others around, be discreet with your flirting. If no one’s around, go all out. The wilder your flirting, the more she’d laugh and smile about it.
#7 Light-hearted laughing. Don’t take yourself too seriously when you’re trying to be funny with a girl. If the girl says something to put you down, try to use humor to get back instead of letting her know you were offended.
#8 Tall tales. A funny story is always a conversation maker. It gives you several minutes to bond, and make yourself look ridiculously funny, silly or even awesome! Do you have any life experiences that are funny? Keep these memories *fake or real* in mind and when the right moment comes up in the conversation, say “aah, that reminds me of the time when I…”
#9 Current events. If you don’t know what to talk about and don’t have any life experiences that are worth laughing, talk about current events. And take a jibe at either a TV show or some movie star. Use just about anything, as long as she finds it funny.
#10 Sex. This is a scary place to be because you don’t know whether the girl you’re talking to would be comfortable discussing sex. Use double entendres, seemingly innocent lines that also have a hidden sexual innuendo in it.
If you smile naughtily while saying something with a hidden meaning, she’ll know your true intentions. And even if she takes offense or tells you that you’re rude, you can just laugh it off and say you never meant it that way. And in return, you can call her a dirty pervert because her mind is twisted and she only sees the dirty side of things!
