Humor is one of the most attractive ways to bond with a person. It reveals your character, destroys the walls between you, and enables a natural connection. So, if you want to learn how to make a girl laugh, don’t forget that there are several nuances besides jokes. Here’s how to use your sense of humor without being fake or inconsiderate.
Identify what humor is to him.
Humor is subjective, and what makes one individual laugh may not elicit the same response in another. A person might enjoy slapstick comedy, while another might like jokes or get humor through clever wordplay. Before you spill out your joke stock, try to know him, if he is a sarcastic person, if she finds humor in dark or maybe dad’s jokes. You can ask or gently probe her sense of humor to be able to tune into what she finds funny.
Tip: Get a glimpse of what she’s really doing by watching movie previews, social media, or TV shows. This can help you out without having to ask directly.
Use situational humor.
Situational comedy is one of the simplest and most organic ways to make a person laugh. It basically means finding the funny stuff in life, not forcing it. For example, if you go out with someone and the server mixes your order, you can diffuse it by showing your levity. Turning an awkward or unexpected moment into something funny shows that you are able to make people laugh; many people find it attractive.
It works for situational humor because it’s ‘here and now’, so it is more real and relevant to the audience. He learns, too, that he can adapt, be present in his mind, and make the best of whatever moment is given.
Master self-deprecating humor (but in moderation).
Humor can also be self-deprecating where you playfully make fun of yourself. It’s cute provided it is not done in excess, where you appear to be humble, confident, and someone who cannot be taken seriously. So try to make it subtle wherein you make jokes on not being able to choose good movies or being lost but in a manner that’s still full of confidence and funny.
Warning: Don’t overindulge in self-deprecation so you seem to be lacking in confidence. Make it lively and avoid sympathy in yourself.
Try playful teasing.
Playful flirting may build a laughter movement, but it can never be serious. This might mean joking around with the quirks or preferences she has in a loving manner. For example, if she has it that pineapple tastes better on pizza, you may jokingly say, “I didn’t know that I am eating with a rebel!”
Tease only works well if there already is some level of mutual comfort. Make sure she’s comfortable and feels it’s all in good fun. Do not tease about something sensitive or personal and watch her reaction at all times to ensure that she enjoys it.
Use witty wordplay and puns.
Pun and wordplay is a very light way to laugh, and a lot of them can be really surprising when you hear them, which makes them fun. Try to think about some funny words related to your environment. So if you are in a coffee shop you would say, “I am going to have to pull an espresso because I am so excited over this”.
Not everyone will love puns, but when done with charm and confidence, they can be quite effective. The thing is, don’t overdo them. One-liners can be great, but many are contrived.
Tell a funny story.
Storytelling is a great way to make one laugh and bond over a shared experience with a friend and often laugh about what you did or the joke that was made on you. If you have an embarrassing or funny story, this is the time to share it with glee. Does it have to be provocative? Can’t it be a simple childhood memory, the latest fender bender, or a mistaken misunderstanding?.
The more dynamic and descriptive you are, the better! It brings him into the moment with you, and it’s easy for him to get entertained and bonded. Also, it gives him a glimpse of your personality and past experiences.
Use observational humor.
Use observational humor to find humour in mundane things. It is one of the best kinds of humor because it finds fodder in everyday life and doesn’t rely on prepared jokes. You may comment on how the coffee line is longer than the theme park ride line or say a funny observation about how all the folks at the table beside you are on their phones.
Observational humor is effective because it’s new, light, and impersonal. It lets her laugh because you’re alert and aware of what’s happening.
Imitate or make sound effects (if you are good at it)
It would be really funny if it’s done nicely. If you can do funny accents, impersonations, or even animal sounds, go for it. Just ensure you make it light-heartedly and don’t offend anybody.
Impersonating fictional characters or even pretending to be a “professional” in a situation where you’re not can be hilarious, if done humorously. A lighter voice or character can show that you are comfortable being playful-some moments are disarming and funny because they are awkward.
Diss the unpleasant moments
Every date or encounter has at least one moment that is a little awkward. If you trip on the sidewalk or mispronounce something, do not scoff it off as uncomfortable-but go for it! Laughing over small, awkward moments can help decrease stress even make her relaxed. For example,
if you’re attempting to pronounce one of those intricate menu items and really butcher it laugh it off with a line like, “And that’s why I don’t work in French restaurants!
It’s funny enough to be amusing but also makes you so accessible and human.
Use physical comedy (in a discreet manner)
Physical comedy can’t be slapstickness, but small gestures, facial expressions can be just as fun as big ones. A funny face, a playful shrug,
or imitating some character’s pose from a movie gets you a real laugh.
Physical humor has to be taken with care because if applied overusefully, it appears childish. But when applied sparsely, with a well-timed gesture, it can be hilarious and cute.
Be authentic.
Above all, be yourself. If you don’t feel or need to use some of the types of humor, don’t. You don’t have to become a comedian. The best humor comes naturally and really says who you are. That’s more attractive than an attempt to imitate someone else’s comic style.
Girls (and boys in general) are perceptive about reading energy. So if you’re really trying to make her laugh because you want her to have a good time, she’ll catch on and admire the effort. Trying too hard, though,
can be utterly pointless.
Learn to laugh together.
It is sharing humor that most of the time provides ways to laugh together on any topic-under a jokey internet meme or over something funny that you or she has seen. You both laugh at the same things,
and people find that some compatibility with humor is one of the most appealing attributes in any relationship.
