How to show my fun side during dating?

[Bunnymumy]

So I had a wonderful date the other day (miracles do happen lol) and I'm actually a little giddy at the thought of seeing him again.

The next date is an activity date (gallary).

I could do with some advice on how to show my fun side (not a euphemism haha). Especially in terms of actions. It's good we can chat with ease but I'd like to show I have a little bit of a wild side as well (I mean, fun wild, not batshit wild lol).

Anyone got ideas?

Or could you ask your partner for me about little things that endeared them to you early on? (Not looking to change myself, but just if they were something I could focus on doing more of).

Please and thankyou :)

The best advice I can give you is to stop trying to stage manage your personality!

You can't pre-plan your actions or speech without coming over as fake.

Please don't try to plan little things that might endear him to you! Be yourself! He obviously already likes you...and that's because you're you.

We get along really well and its flowed brilliantly but I just want to inject a bit of fun into things. I wont be doing anything that feels unnatural don't worry lol.

God yeah, please don't contrive little set pieces. It'll come across badly. You'll be trying to shoehorn in prerehearsed stuff that'll just come across as unnatural and possibly cringey.

Be you.

What they all said.

I'm totally cringe anyway so he'll have to get used to that haha

Ok so I mean little fun things to do like taking some pictures pulling faces next to the painting ect. Totally the sort of thing I would do. But stuff like that. Im not taking about changing my persona guys, im asking for little activity suggestions.

Wear a gorilla suit.

Just be "normal you". Really. And have fun.

Oh God....you do realise this is MN don't you?

This thread is making me cringe- just be your normal self!!

Whoopee cushion?

I believe wearing these denotes a fun personality.

Or you know, crack a few jokes, laugh at his, be enthusiastic about the activity you’re doing and about life in general.

category12 😂

@Mycatismadeofstringcheese I'm sure I have those in green. Probably not suitable attire for an art gallery though lol. Might be a bit close to the fun vs mental line. (...maybe on date 4 lol).

I have to say, if I went to see an exhibition at a gallery and the person I was with started pulling faces and taking photos I’d assume they’d lost their mind and I’d leave.
But that’s me! He might think it’s hilarious

I’m quite disappointed, I just googled “Mona Lisa deely boppers” to see if I could prove you wrong about them not being suitable for an art gallery and nobody has photoshopped that image.

Right... I take it the gallery was his idea... bloody hell woman, you are not only going to embarrass him, you will make him runaway!

Honestly, be yourself, he liked what he saw last time, follow on a joke he makes but unless you are 8 do not go into prefabricated posing.

Sorry but I’m with @SunscreenCentral erm, this will sound condescending but how old are you?

I think you should just be yourself and don’t try so hard. He will think you’re a bit fake if you have to make up fun x

If you have a fun wild side it will naturally reveal itself.

If you don’t, then don’t pretend to be someone you’re not. It would be exhausting to try and maintain that.
He likes you enough from what he’s seen already for another date.

Don’t overthink it. Go and enjoy yourself.

Don’t worry about how to make him like you and think carefully about if you like him (not just fancy but actually like as a person) You sound a little smitten so make sure you pay attention to his actions, not just his words.

You're either fun, or you are not.

Knowing people well enough to know what their sense of humour is like and feeling comfortable is the key.

If he has chosen a gallery for your date then I would think he was a person with a serious, thoughtful side and obviously interested in culture so going wild and being the court jester won't go down well. He might think it fun to have a deep and meaningful discussion about the art rather than engage with gurning selfies next to it.

Agree with PP if he's chosen a gallery then he isn't going to be looking for you to be making silly faces in an attempt to be wacky!

Chill and let your personality come out naturally.

Just don't go full Sistine Chapel wailing on him
