6 Ways To Have Playful Banter And Keep Your Relationship Fun
By: Kratika Fri, 18 Feb 2022 2:27:14
Many people don’t realize the importance of flirting and having playful banter in your relationship. We all do this in the beginning of our relationships but this fun flirting usually slows down after the honeymoon phase is over.
We end up committing to someone and, since we’re no longer trying to “win” them, we stop the cutesy behavior that won them over in the first place. As a result, our relationships lose a bit of that fun edge that’s needed to make it the best it can be.
You always have to flirt with your partner. Flirting isn’t reserved for those few months you spend getting your significant other to like you more. You should always do it or your relationship can end up getting worse and worse.
When you have playful banter and keep that flirty behavior alive, you continuously show your significant other that you’re into them. You make them feel wanted and cared for and, most importantly, desired.
Having this as a major strength in your relationship will also help you maintain a healthy sex life, too. And we all know how important that is.
# Always be thinking about comebacks
Even when you’re not flirting or having banter, always have comebacks ready to go in your mind. This helps train your brain to think a lot faster.
The quicker you can come back with a witty comment, the better your playful banter is going to be. This also helps you be more unfiltered, which can be really funny and entertaining in its own respect. Allow the words to just flow immediately.
# Use what you know about your partner
Flirting is made so much better if you know what makes your lover tick. What do they love you saying in bed together? How do they respond to funny or naughty things?
Using what you know about them to adjust your own banter is essential. Think about what they like and what they don’t like. Make banter that is unique to them only and say things you know will hit them in just the right spots. You know what they find funny, so use it.
# Make sure the mood is right
There is a very specific vibe that makes for great banter. Both of you have to be in a very relaxed, playful mindset. If your partner starts getting a little flirty and makes some jokes, up your wit game.
Drop a few lines that’ll give him the hint that you’re ready for some playful banter. Being able to read the mood right will help you flirt and have fun as much as you can. The second you’re feeling it, go for it.
# Initiate it as often as you can
You don’t always have to wait for the right mood, though. You can start it as much as you want. In fact, it’s better if you initiate it a lot. Otherwise, your partner might not.
If you both aren’t trying to flirt with one another, then you never will. This will make your relationship a little more boring and can affect your sex life negatively. So even if you’re not 100% in the mood for some banter, do it anyways and see if your significant other wants to have some fun.
# Be as outrageous as you can
Let things get super silly. Try to challenge yourself to see how insane and ridiculous your banter can get. Let it be a sort of game together. See who can go the furthest and make the most ridiculous and hilarious comment.
# Get a little naughty
Let your freaky side out when you’re having playful banter. Show your significant other you can get a little naughty. Just because it’s banter doesn’t mean it can’t be really sexy and dirty.
Use some dirty talk to get your partner in the mood while flirting this way. You can even make it a little game with yourself. See what it takes to make your partner grab you and have their way with you in the bedroom.
