How to Use Humor to Get a Boyfriend

Once upon a time, the way to a guy's heart was through his stomach. Those days are long gone in an era of fast food and microwave meals. Today the way to a guy's heart is through his funny bone. Read on to find out how to use humor to snag the boyfriend you're hoping for.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Crack a joke. Seriously. Many men try those horrible pick-up lines because they simply cannot think of anything clever or witty to say. Take it upon yourself to be the icebreaker. Not only will he feel grateful in many cases, you also have the opportunity to score points for originality.
2. Be natural instead of forcing yourself to be something you're not. Your natural humor is the perfect place to begin. Just dig down deep and find it.
3. Flash those pearly whites. Your smile and the sound of your laughter are what you will want a potential boyfriend to remember when you've left the room--not what you were wearing or who else was in the room. Guys want to build relationships with girls that are fun to be around.
4. Show him your intellect. Most men realize that fluff may be nice on occasion, but substance is much better when building a relationship. Intelligent humor is often funnier than "dumb blond" jokes, and it will score a boyfriend faster than sitting in the corner without contributing to the conversation.
5. Enjoy the time you spend with him. If you are having fun it is much easier to insure that he is also having fun. And having fun is what relationships are all about in the beginning.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid using humor that would reflect feelings of insecurity. Focus on the positive in yourself and others when cracking jokes to attract a boyfriend.
