There\u2019s a time for humor and there\u2019s a time to be serious when you\u2019re trying to get the girl.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s something that you\u2019ll want to remember. <\/strong><\/p>\n

If it\u2019s something serious to her, it should be something serious to you.<\/h3>\n

\"manIf she laughs about her job, then it\u2019s okay to be funny about that. But if her job is something that she\u2019s worked hard to get and she\u2019s proud of it and doesn\u2019t say anything even remotely funny about it, then you shouldn\u2019t either.<\/p>\n

You should be serious if she mentions an ex who was a jerk to her. Cracking a joke when she\u2019s opening up to you about a guy from her past is a foolish move. When a woman does this, she\u2019s telling you because she\u2019s trying to find the ground where you stand. If you think the way that the ex treated her is wrong or not, always be serious whenever a woman is being vulnerable around you.<\/p>\n

You should be serious whenever you\u2019re talking about subjects that can be hot button conversation bits. For example, if she says something about one of her family members, you don\u2019t want to jump on that bandwagon with a joke. You\u2019re still a stranger to her and while it might be okay for her to say something about her family and even to crack a joke, you don\u2019t have that right.<\/p>\n

And what will end up happening is she\u2019ll get defensive. So don\u2019t make jokes or try to be funny about a woman\u2019s family. It\u2019s okay for you to share funny things or insights about your own family, but not hers.<\/p>\n

What if you could be loved for exactly who you are? At eharmony, you can. Join today!<\/a><\/p>\n

Be serious when you meet her friends for the first time.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Save the humor until you know them better. They don\u2019t know you and this is the time when they\u2019ll be checking you out to see if they think you\u2019re a good idea for their friend.<\/p>\n

Friends have a lot of influence. You won\u2019t want them to think that while you\u2019re funny, you\u2019re so funny you couldn\u2019t possibly be good at a serious relationship in the future.<\/p>\n

Finally, be serious when you have an argument.<\/h3>\n

While humor can help ease tension, it can also come across to her that you\u2019re not taking her seriously, that you\u2019re not really listening to her and that\u2019s a good way to bring about the end of a relationship.<\/p>\n

Do you have a sense of humor?<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re not sure whether you have a good sense of humor, ask some of your close friends and family members.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t use crude humor, sarcasm or stale jokes. Just learn how to be light-hearted about things. See if women react with a nervous smile, like they\u2019re feeling awkward, or if they\u2019re genuinely laughing along with you.<\/p>\n

Make sure you\u2019re not \u201con\u201d 24\/7, though. A sense of humor is a great personality trait to have<\/a>, but it shouldn\u2019t be your only one, either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
