Humor
Although you may not be the next Chris Rock, we all can bring out the more playful side of our personality. Don't be afraid to:
- Joke around
- Tease women you already know and poke goodnatured fun at them
- Come prepared with a couple of silly stand-by jokes
- Be sarcastic; try quick comebacks, one-liners to enliven exchanges
- Be silly
- Create a recurring joke and each time you are together return to the joke

—Chris Rock
