JamesDean5398 Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 This friend that I am dating said that I am too serious and that I need to loosen up. I asked her what does she mean, and she said that too lighten up laugh at yourself. I just met her about 2 weeks online. She sees my photo on Facebook. We haven't met. It is a LDR. I met her friend who lives in state. I guess my question is how do I lighten up. I agree that I may not be the jovial outgoing personality, but if I need to do this to make this work. I will but I just don't know how. any ideas. Thanks in advance.
Dan Bray Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Just try to relax more. You could try making more jokes. Also, if someone else is making jokes try to see the funny side to them more often and laugh at them. Good luck!
robdrm32 Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I used to be way too serious myself, and when you are its hard to change your attitude but try to look at life a different way. Make enjoying yourself throughout the day your number one priority. That means sharing a laugh with friends/family/people you come across. And no that doesn't mean telling pre-scripted jokes. It's noticing funny things that don't offend people. If you can poke fun at yourself or a situation it puts people at ease. It's not always bad to be serious but for the most part you want to be light-hearted and fun-loving. Women are attracted to that. Your friend is right, try to laugh at yourself. Find something goofy about your appearance or personality and LAUGH at it. For myself, people find me attractive yet i have ears that stick out from my head and a watermelon shaped head. ITS FUNNY. If you can't laugh at yourself you shouldn't laugh at anybody else.
