If you are out on a date and you have to keep asking the other person are  they having a good time than that should be a obvious sign things are not going so hot.  Instead you should easily be able to tell what’s going on by the amount of laughter both of you are sharing.

Laughing on a date has a wonderful way of cutting thru any initial nervousness and potentially awkward moments. It puts you and your date at ease and goes a long way to establishing a good comfort zone that hopefully the two of you can use as a springboard to launch into a deeper relationship.

That’s not to say you should go to the library and read the history of joke telling volume one or rent the videos of every successful comedian who has ever done stand up. Chances are storing up this wealth of information and then trying to use it on a date will backfire.

Instead try to relax and find your humor zone. It may be a funny observation or a quick joke that fits into the context of the evening.  Quick is the operative word here. Sometimes when a story meant to be humorous starts to drag before you reach the punch line then a yarn becomes a yawn or a stifled one at least. When telling your joke it’s best to remember the old Hollywood maxim for movie making: Get in late and get out early. This is a very good way to keep your date’s interest. 

Now there’s another side to this coin and that is the mistake of overdoing it. You may be a very funny person with natural wit and timing. The key is to show some restraint.

Laughing at everything is not a good sign. Your date may appreciate your humor but they did not go out with you to watch you audition for a comedy club. Not taking anything seriously (even when your date may occasionally want you to) can get old and tired in a hurry. After awhile, your constant attempts at humor may have the other person laughing half heartedly as they start looking for the exit.

Also be sure to share some of that spotlight. Try to find your date’s humor zone and encourage it. It doesn’t mean you should laugh when they say something that is brutally unfunny but if it is funny than by all means let them know it. If the other person is still feeling uncomfortable this can be a major boost in helping them get over it.

Nobody wants to go out with someone who is serious to the point of dullsville. Any attempt at humor always escapes them. In fact they find a way to turn it into a serous point. Laughter on a date can be a powerful connector with many side benefits. Just remember don’t force it, don’t over do it and don’t be afraid to share center stage. Keep this in mind and you and your date will be hard pressed not to have a good time.

It’s a very common problem for new people. They don’t really know how to react or how to behave perfectly on first date. In fact it all depends on the type of date it is. But regardless of the type of date a few things are common, which should be followed for a successful and long lasting relationship.

Some tips for guys:

• Try to be in your best possible mood at that special time.

• Dress smartly for the occasion; don’t be so formal, you are not going to appear for an interview.

• Never forget to buy some gift. It should not be too costly. The costly gifts may reflect your eagerness or your habit to show off your wealth.

• Choose a place where your partner can feel comfortable, never try to arrange your first day at an isolated place.

• Try to be a bit close to her by knowing her favourite things, favourite food, favourite music or similar not so important things. It can be helpful in judging her mood.

• If possible don’t try to be physically too close to her, until you realize that she is interested for that.

Some tips for girls:

• Agree for a public place only, if you agree for an isolated place then your partner can try to take undue advantage.

• Show that you really care for him, by asking some simple questions like her favourite things, favourite food, favourite music or similar not so important things. It can be helpful in judging his choices.

• If possible don’t try to be physically too close to him; it may build your negative image.

By following these tips, you can make your dates memorable. As time will pass you will discover several new things about your partner, that’ll make your dates better.

Dating Warnings

Jane Saeman asked:


When asked the top traits desired in a relationship, most people are likely to list humor as one. Humor is something that seems to speak to the human soul. People use humor in many different ways, including to help nurture and maintain relationships. Everyone has encountered someone in their life who can make them laugh and they cherish the person and the relationship for that. Humor in relationships is a really good factor that can help make a relationship last.

There are many reasons why humor is important to relationships. The following explains a bit about how humor affects a relationship and the benefits it has.

- Humor can create a bond. Humor when used correctly can bring people together. It can make people like each other. People love having a good time and laughing is associated with a good time. The body reacts to humor in a way that people associate a humorous person with good feelings. That is why funny people always seem to have a lot of friends.

- Humor can open up communication. Just as humor creates a bond between people it also creates a feeling of kinship or trust. People feel it is easier to talk to someone who is humorous or uses humor often. Humor used in a constructive manner can really be a great way to improve upon communication in a relationship.

- Humor can change a situation. Most people have used humor to cover up something embarrassing. It is common because humor has a way of being able to shift the focus and change the situation.

Humor is not just a fun weekend night out activity. Humor can be found in everyday life. A person who can find humor in anything is someone who is likely to be well liked. People prefer someone who is happy to someone who is grumpy and funny people just tend to be happy people.

Humor can be used negatively, though. Negative humor can destroy relationships. It can create tension and it can be very destructive. Humor should never be used to belittle someone or to embarrass someone. Humor should always be upbeat and keep that crazy, funny edge to it.

Humor in relationships is a great stepping stone. Many times, though, people find a relationship that is only built on humor fades quickly. Humor alone cannot sustain a relationship. A relationship needs other factors in order to grow and last. Humor in relationships, though, is a great addition and is always welcomed. Everyone loves a good laugh and by using humor in relationships a person is likely to find they are generally more happy and their relationships are longer lasting then people who leave humor out of their relationships.

Most high school teenagers are disturbed by rather very simple things. According to their mentality, it is very important for a junior *********** to have a boyfriend. Teenage dating is perceived to be cool and fashionable. Their focus is mostly on clothes and boyfriends/girlfriends. Dating for teens is important such that it is no wonder to see a girl spending sleepless nights crying over lack of a boyfriend. Teen dating has influenced the way of dressing for many youths. They watch their fashion of choice and they can nag their parents nonstop when they want expensive dating attire. This is the age when teenage daughters and sons give the parents a lot of headache since they demand for a lot of money with no explanations.

They probably want to take their girl friends out for dates and buy them expensive gifts. You will be able to recognize a teen dating through her behavior. Her fashion choice changes all over a sudden since she is out to impress someone somewhere. May be you used to buy her clothes as gifts which were much appreciated until recently. If she no longer likes your taste in clothes give her the money to buy for herself but this should serve as a warning bell. She is probably involved in teenage dating which is a normal stage in life. However, a teen dating is probably moving on a slippery ground. Dating for teens become risky when she/he does not have the right information. Nothing is wrong if the right rules are followed.    

When you notice that your daughter or son has entered the phase of teenage dating, provide a lot of information wealth. A teen dating is usually so excited to reason. She will probably want to experiment a lot of things most of which might ruin his/her life. They are subject to peer pressure so you should let them know the dangers of it. Dating for teens is an adventure which the adults do not want them to enjoy. Unwanted teenage pregnancies, drugs dealing and alcoholism are some of the bad repercussions of improper parental guidance. Make sure your information is educative and not provocative. There are some parents and guardians who do not have the skills to pass on the message. They criticize, rebuke and insult the teenagers.

A loving parent should understand that teenage dating is completely normal. A daughter or a son is probably in the process of identifying their sexuality. The attraction to the opposite *** is a major feature during the adolescence. This should tell you that it is perfectly natural. As a good parent you should help in the sexuality identification. Provide all the relevant information using the right language. A teen dating is always on the defensive and will become indifferent when you use harsh words. Dating for teens is a confusing exercise so get involved and offer your assistance. Get to know her boyfriend if any and instill some values in the two of them. For instance you can broach a subject about how dressing affects relationships, put it fourth as a general discussion and let them know that the clothes do not have to be expensive. You will also know their minds.
