Do you have a pretty good sense of humor? Maybe you have one of those senses of humor that it just comes out of our mouth before you have the chance to filter it? What may be funny to you may not be funny to others. So, when it is appropriate to be funny? When do you use humor on your date?

But, for the most part, most people enjoy a good sense of humor. Most women love it when a man can make them laugh, and vice versa.

If you are a woman on a first date, it can ease a bit of tension and nervousness if you expose your sense of humor. However, make sure you are showing off your sense of humor with out degrading or making fun of the person you are with. And always, just be who you are. If you are naturally funny, and you see the world through eyes that see the world differently than others, let it shine! Maybe you find many things funny, and see it in a different light than others do. There is nothing wrong with that.

However, don't try to be funny. If you are trying to be funny, it may come across as fake and too pushed. This can really turn off your date. Natural humor is always the best. Letting you come across as natural and real.

It's always great to bond with someone over a good laugh. Laughter can be healing, bonding, and ease tension. Allowing yourself to laugh, and making your partner laugh can actually increase the neurotransmitters in the brain, which will cause a great association between yourself and your new partner. So, it can be quite beneficial to allow your humor to come through as soon as the first date. Let your humor and smile shine, and your partner may just warm up to you quicker than you thought! Don't be afraid to have some great humor, and have some fun.
