Do you try to be funny on a date..And what are some things you said or did to be funny?
Good question.
In short, yes, I usually make my date laugh...
The long answer, TRYING to be funny and BEING funny are two different things. One can only be as funny as their personality will let them be. When one Tries too hard to be funny, it just comes off as cheesy and stupid. When one IS funny, that's called confidence and personality.
For example.. I love to rag on women - I'll give them a hard time about anything.
I went bowling with this chick that I had just met. Sure, bowling is kinda outdated, but that's all there was to do.. so, I made the best of it. She wasn't very good, and she had this certain way that she moved her body when she bowled - it made her rear end wiggle in a very pleasing way, if you can imagine.
Anyway, I picked on her about it all night - stood behind her like I was taking a picture, asking her to move a little to the left so I could get a better view, etc.. Thing is, it kept her laughing all night. She got laughing so hard once that she ended up throwing the ball two lanes over..
Or, if a chick looks like she's the type to go clubbing and get all wild, I'll accuse her of being a library chick - and then run with that.. Or, if a chick says that she's tired and IS the library type chick, I'll rag on her about staying out too late partying.. and then I'll accuse them of trying to seduce me, or tease me, or whatever.. typical role reversal crap..
But, because of my personality, it comes off as being funny instead of lame..
It just depends on personality. If I was a shy, quiet type of guy, none of those things would work. But, if a shy, quiet guy all of a sudden burst out with some amazing story that had a wicked punch line, well, it wouldn't be expected, so I think it would come across as funny.
Again, it's pointless to TRY to be funny.. Just be yourself, and let your style of humor come through. If the chick doesn't get it then she's not right for you..
er... well, that chick wouldn't be right for that guy anyway.. You get the point.
In all seriousness you should try to make your date laugh. I can't stand going on a date with a guy who isn't trying to cheer me up. I don't like downers, sad saps, boring buzzards, or stoic stick in the muds. And a lot of people are like that. It makes sense to have a little fun and humor when dating and going out on the town.

Don't try to make her laugh, just make her laugh. Period.
Right?
But yeah, there's some chicks that just don't laugh, no matter what.. I'll leave those where I found them and move on.. I hate a downer..
Sometimes I say funny things--but usually I'm just funny looking.
