9 Ways To Be More Playful On A Date

Dating is complicated, because you never know how it will go. Sometimes, it can be fun and exciting. Other times, it just ends up being dull and dreary. We all know which one we’d prefer, right? But how can you achieve that without knowing what awaits you? How can you be playful and fun without making your date think you’re trying way too hard to make her feel at ease?

If you want to diffuse a tense situation, the best way to do it is by keeping things light and breezy. Rather than faking your enthusiasm, why not build it up from scratch? When your date doesn’t seem to be enjoying herself, make it a point to start being playful around her.

There are many reasons why people aren’t having fun on a date. It could be due to a bad location, a rowdy or stale crowd, or it could even be your fault. It takes two to tango, and if neither one of you steps up, how do you think the night will end?

# Joke around

Try using a funny line you heard or tell your date a funny story. Either way, your chances of getting a laugh out of her is pretty high – considering the lack of joy in the situation.

# Take your date somewhere fun

There are a lot of places that offer fun and exciting activities for couples. You can sign up for a cooking class or play paintball. Do something that requires you to interact. An endorphin boost from a playful activity is also a bonus.

# Always smile

Did you know that smiling for no reason can actually improve your mood? That goes the same for smiling in order to make the people around you happier. Don’t creep her out by smiling for no reason. Tell her you’re just really psyched that you’re on a date together.

# Find something to tease her about

Some people aren’t really used to being teased, but it might just surprise your date and make her laugh. Tease her about something that definitely won’t offend her.

For instance, you can tease her about the way she looked like she was about to run the moment she saw you. Make sure she knows that you’re just kidding around, though. It’s better not to push a button that you might regret later. If she doesn’t like it, pull back. Immediately.

# Make her blush

The purpose of this exercise is to urge your date to show a little bit of her vulnerable side. Aside from trying to amuse your date with your playful antics, you can make her blush by complimenting her or appreciating something good that she’s done.

# Flirt!

It’s as easy as saying your date’s name in a sexy way. Make your date feel wanted and admired. Just focus on her and every word that she says. You can also slip in a little quip here and there about the possible outcome of your date.

# Be spontaneous

Planning everything to the last detail guarantees a higher chance of success. Playing your night by ear can give you the best date of your life or possibly the worst. Either way, doing fun things on a whim ensures that you and your date start the night on a happy note.

# Keep the conversation light

Steer the conversation away from topics like politics, work and relationships. Talk about traveling, exciting hobbies, funny stories and the like. You’re not manipulating the conversation per se. You’re just focusing on the happier aspects of each other’s lives.

# Touch her when the mood feels happy and nice

This advice can be complicated, because some people are vehemently opposed to getting their personal space invaded. Your options are to start by supporting their back as you walk into the venue. If she doesn’t bristle or slap you in the face, you’re good to go. Ask to hold her hand while you talk.
