You’ve probably read or heard that laughter is the best medicine. Heck, it’s also one sure way of getting to a girl’s heart!
Do be warned though that dating a funny guy isn’t like dating your average Joe.
For one, you bet he’s going to be a crowd pleaser, the talk of the town, as well as the life of the party.
So if your potential partner knows how to tickle the funny bone, here are some vital things that you need to know before dating him.
A funny man is like a juicy chapati
Do you know what makes a bad day instantly better? Yeah, that’s right, a well-cooked chapati.
So that’s exactly what your man will be once you get home from a mundane day at the office.
As soon as you get to the door, you know you’re up for a good laugh so you better not be thinking of drinking a milkshake when you’re around him!
Your own supu ya nyama
Chipotle sauce makes everything taste so much better, right?
You can literally use it on just about anything and suddenly, you feel like you’re dining at the Chateau Eza! Funny guys are exactly the same.
Even a simple stroll around the neighborhood can turn into an epic episode of straight out of Comedy Central.
In fact, you’ll want him to be your plus-one in just about every family function; especially those cringe-worthy family weddings!
He’ll frown though when you call him funny
Weirdly, funny dudes don’t like it, even in the slightest, to be identified as funny.
In fact, your hubby probably won’t like it if you introduce him and comment that he’s funny, or when he’s coerced to say a joke on the spot.
More likely to tell a joke to ease tension
In the middle of a serious family meeting? Then count on your boyfriend to lighten the mood by tossing one or two jokes.
Surprisingly, he will always get a pass for it because he’s known to be funny.
But when it’s time to get serious, he’ll play his part
Just because your new hubby is funny, doesn’t mean that he won’t understand the dynamics of specific functions.
For example, don’t expect him to crack a joke during your aunt’s funeral. That’s just not part of the plan.
He lives for comedy, but don’t always remind him
It’s always weird how much pressure funny guys are given to enter comedy.
However, you’ve got to understand that just because someone is funny, doesn’t mean that they automatically qualify to be a comedian.
So it’s probably wise for any girl dating her ‘funny bunny’ not to pressure him to crack a joke while they are out in public.
Sometimes, behind all the jokes, is a sensitive soul
In life, there’s something called a defense mechanism. A lot of people use it to hide the pain and tears of the past.
One way some people do this is by lightening the mood all the time.
However, behind all those jokes, your hubby might have some serious mental or emotional stress.
He will effortlessly disarm anyone
Need to charm your boss at the official dinner party? Then let your hubby be your plus-one and watch him work his magic.
They will automatically make any of your awkward colleagues at ease! How helpful is that for your career?
All in all, having a funny boyfriend is such a treat that comes with its positives as well as its negatives. In the end, all that matters is the love that you share!
