Breaking the Ice in Online Dating Conversation by Being Funny


Both guys and women love someone who is funny and outgoing Being with a person of such traits make us very comfortable

Both guys and women love someone who is funny and outgoing. Being with a person of such traits make us very comfortable. We love their company and there is certainly no dull moments when we are with a funny person.

The same trait is welcomed in online dating. When we are chatting with a funny person it somehow eases us of our tiredness or any problems we have at the moment. This is very true since laughter produces good body hormones that make people feel healthy, positive and good inside-out.

If you still have not figured out how to have a healthy conversation in online dating sites, you may as well explore yourself by becoming funny and making someone laugh. Although being funny is a gift to most, everyone can still learn a few pointers or tricks to become funny.

So how do you drive ?humor? to become part of your life? First, you need to see humor on the actual events in your life. Like for instance, you accidentally slipped in front of your doorstep. Even if this is an accident, you can practice being funny by exercising your thoughts on that situation. You can then tell this incident to your online chat mate and make some excerptions based form what you are thinking when it happened. When the joke is on you, people find it very humorous. In time, as you practice this habit of finding the funny side of your everyday events, you will find yourself as naturally funny.

Another way to become funny to your chat mate is repeating a word or phrase several times in the conversation. This may sound unbelievable but believe me, it works like wonders.

Surprising your listener of a different ending to your story can sometimes lead to laughter. You can tell a story that has an obvious ending then at the end you throw a different one. This sounds very hilarious. The logic here is that you are surprising your listener and at the same time making them laugh and see the funny side of the story. It is even like you are not telling a joke.

Another twist you can share with your chat mate is escalating the story. You begin to tell a story seriously and as it develops it goes humorous. This is also unexpected as you are supposedly telling a story that is not funny at all but only to find out that your listener is already crackling with laughter.

There are also other several techniques you can put into your story to make it funny. Like for example, making an ?understatement? which makes a topic very trivial. Or you can also do ?reversal? or moving the story around so it refers to incorrect noun. Like for example, ?residents dangerous to local dogs?.

The bottom line of these all is that learning to be funny must always inject a ?humorous side? to every story. This requires clever and wit. A trivial story, a twisted ending, an unexpected ending--- all can be very humorous.
