I will admit: I am not a funny man, but I am very supportive of my girlfriend. I am a great provider, but I just feel like there isn't enough laughter in our relationship. I am very insecure, and I try to make her laugh, but my sense of humor is very dry. WOMEN! What makes a girl laugh? How can I be funnier. I am not very witty, but I am open to suggestions.

I say it pretty important to HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR, not necessarily be funny. Meaning you can laugh at things together, when something funny happens. You don't have to be a comedian to have a sense of humor, but knowing when to laugh in life can sure help take the edge of a bad situation that will invariably come up in life. I had a boyfriend (still dear to my heart) that had not one joke in him, but he did have a good sense of humor, he never took himself too seriously and if someone said something that could be taken one of two ways, he'd take it the nice way (even if someone didn't mean it that way). We sometimes would laugh ourselves silly when the person would just walk away shaking their heads and trouble was averted. Having a sense of humor doesn't mean being Richard Pryor, it means being able to look at the light side of things when things get a little gloomy and being able to laugh even when you might think you should be crying. As my one brother quips around tax time (VERY stressful for him) he says "finally, the kids are worth something to me". I know it sounds crass, but it kinda break the tension and he can get back at making all those little deductions. Hope this helps you! Good luck!

A sense of humor is very important. I can't be in a relationship if it's so serious 24-7. I can't really tell you how to make a girl laught. Everyone has a different sense of humor. Go out and watch a comedy movie. There are some comidies that are kind of dry but still really funny and some that are just stupid funny. Here are my suggestion: Office space and Stranger than Fiction for a dry comedy and Old School and Dodgeball for stupid funny. It might show you what type of humor you both have.

Haha. This question is funny in itself. You don't sound terribly unfunny or unwitty.
Are you completely comfortable with your girlfriend? If not, that could be the problem. Also, it is possible to have different types of humor. I love dry humor. Some people don't get it. Maybe she doesn't get it?
I don't really believe there to be a class or book on "How to Be Funny"...so you're kinda out of luck there.
Just relax and be yourself. If you don't have the same humor, it might not matter in the long run.
Personally though, if a guy and me don't laugh together, we don't stay together.

I am not a woman, but I will answer your question. Laughter is very important in a relationship. you have to have laughter to break up the monotony.Try going to some comedy clubs with her or some funny movies. Try to be open minded with it. You'll get the hang of it after a while.

Ya... I looked at the examples. Well, some people may not find the jokes funny. Having a sense of humour is important in a relationship. It helps brightens up the day, clears up emotional upset, brings laughter to a home, keeps conversations interesting, etc etc. Your future wife may find the jokes not interesting. However, it is not her priority that you must crack all those jokes to her liking. Just make sure that whenever you want to crack jokes, it is at the right timing. If a person finds it not funny or stupid, it can be irritating sometimes.

You sound like a great guy. Not all people are funny. Take her to a comedy club, and stop worrying about this.

Be yourself, and if you can't make her laugh, then find something that you both can laugh at together.
Examples- Funny movies or comedy clubs
