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.

• Take care of her likes and dislikes; don’t force her for a drink which she doesn’t like.

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

• Try to know more about her, his family, his education, and friends.

Some tips for girls:

• Wear your favourite dress for the occasion; remember the dress should be appealing, not revealing your body.

• Before going on a date with a guy, try to know more about him. You can’t really trust over someone whom you never met.

• Never forget to buy some gift. Avoid precious gifts, it should reflect your emotion not your wealth.

• 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.

Francis Githinji asked:


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.

Mr Online Dating asked:


Girls and guys love funny people.  Ever met a person at a party who appears to always have people wanting to sit near them and to be in their company?  We all love a laugh and an easy going, laid back partner who doesn’t put others down is just great at the dinner table.  But what about when online dating?  Is it enough simply to be funny?  Its certainly a start…

 

Laughing and making other people laugh is a big asset in life.  Laughing produces good hormones in the body that help people feel more positive, healthier and even tolerant of others.  Even though naturally funny people exist, making someone laugh is a skill that can be taught.

 

 

Real life stories are funnier than made up ones.

Great comedians draw heavily on their actual life experiences, so the joke is on themselves rather than on other people, drawing focus on little details that may have appeared insignificant and showing other people an insight regarding the workings of their mind.  As we can relate to the actual aspects of the story, the entire joke appears believable and the humor in it comes across genuine.  Comedians who are well known for this type of comedy include Billy Connolly, arguably the funniest scot alive.

 

Repetition, saying the same thing several times can cause it to become humorous.  Sounds unbelievable?  Sometimes pushing a joke beyond the boundaries works.

 

Misdirection.  A style many comedians  apply is misdirection.  This means they include a story that goes in a totally different direction to that that was expected.  Groucho Marx would use this technique. The basis behind this is that when the listener knows what is going to occur then it won’t be funny however by catching them by surprise, their mind can see the funny side.  Chevy Chase often uses this tactic with his joke telling.

 

Escalation is another different technique to be humorous.  This means that the story begins in a sensible, predictable way and then escalates into the very funny.  You add more and more funny dialogue until the listener begins cracking up in laughter.

 

Understatement is when you make an important topic seem really trivial.

 

 

Reversal means moving the story around so that it refers to the incorrect noun - like “residents dangerous to local dogs”

 

The error many of us make when trying to be humorous is to try to be funny non stop.  They end up sounding idiotic and embarrass themselves.  The answer to humor is to inject it into a story.  It is sometimes someone who is usually fairly straight, that comes across really funny when they throw in several random lines to a conversation or who then tell a really clever tale of their lives.

 

The main difference online is that you need to count on the content or context to display humor - sarcasm, unless you know the person does not work very well online.

Mark Date asked:


The average Australian family no longer necessarily consists of a mother, father and children. In today’s society we find a variety of different set ups living happily side by side. Singles are on the increase and are increasingly found to be enjoying this additional time “on the shelf”.

Decreases in marriage rates, increases in the divorce rate, wider acceptance of cohabitation, same *** relationships and the growing independence of women all have helped shape the diverse society we find today. Having children outside of wedlock is considered the norm and the increases in cohabitation mean that not all family separations are documented - making the figure far higher than the 33% divorce rate documented by the Australian Bureau of statistics. Of the people who do marry, most are doing it later in life - the average age for a man to marry now stands at 30.5 and 28 years old for women. Divorced people have a far higher likelihood of remarriage compared to those widowed with 56% of divorced men heading down the aisle again and 46% in women - in contrast only 3% of widows were likely to remarry.

So what does all this mean for today’s aging, once again singles? In some ways its good news. There are many more daters of both sexes available on the market! Businesses of all types have sprung up to target this market segment with singles speed dating nights, singles socials, singles clubs, singles online dating sites, singles adventure activities, singles friendship meets and even single Christian congregations! In the UK well known supermarkets even advertise singles shopping nights with statistics showing that singles often end up meeting their would be partner at the supermarket.

Finding a partner, if that is what you want, need not be a stressful or desperate endeavor. Singles who are confident and comfortable with themselves and who are happy socializing will always do well but not all is lost for those a little more shy or who live in an area that is less densely populated than central Sydney!

Online dating sites make it easy to chat and to meet other people with similar interests. Online dating allows anyone to be a social butterfly - with some sites offering the ability to set up groups for singles to attract those with similar mindsets to your own. Of course the best online dating sites for singles are free - it seems silly to spend money on standard communication tools such as webcam chats, groups and email contact. Commercial sites end up costing a fair chunk of money that could be invested in self improvement or on socializing. Larger sites are impersonal too and can easily overwhelm the genuine dater as the professional, serial romancers take all the credits. Why not choose a smaller, well set up site and really let your confidence build - set up some groups, be the initiator of conversations and take a more positive step towards being one of Australia’s marriage Statistics!
