Act Silly with Your Boyfriend
Being silly can be one of the most satisfying aspects of a relationship. You can act playful and let your guard down without being judged, and you can connect with your boyfriend on a whole other level. You can be yourself. If you're willing to explore new things in your relationship, you might be surprised by how much your boyfriend wants to do the same. Your boyfriend means your best friend. Being comfortable with each other makes your relationship grow and stronger. You don't have to be in a steady and straight forwarded relationship, you just have to go with the flow since as both of you age, a lot of things will change but keep in mind, in a relationship, you need to be silly at times so you will stay in love.

Steps
Things to Do Together
- Take silly pictures, making odd faces. Have a contest to see who can come up with more faces, then put together an album of your exploits. Or, try to recreate famous paintings. Ex. stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a shovel and a pitchfork to imitate American Gothic; plank and touch fingers to imitate the Sistine Chapel.
- Speak in foreign accents. Pretend to each be from a different country as you try to go about your daily business. Or, act out movie cliches: have a whirlwind romance on a Parisian train or stage a showdown over an explosive that’s set to go off in ten minutes.
- Give each other embarrassing makeovers. Do his makeup and let him do your hair. Whoever does a better job gets to post a photo of their masterpiece on Facebook.
- Have a food fight. If you cook together, attack each other with flour, spaghetti noodles, or anything else that won’t cost you the deposit on your apartment.
- Go to the park and play on the jungle gym. Push each other on the swings, go down the slide, and swing on the monkey bars.
- Do impressions of each other. Imitate each other’s voice, habits, and gait. Act out a typical interaction while you’re both still in character.
- Play catch with your food. Split a bowl of popcorn in half and kill off the whole thing by tossing it into each other’s mouths. Whenever you make an especially good toss, yell, “GOAAAAAAAAAL!!!”
- Play-fight with him. Pretend to fight in a specific fighting style like boxing, martial arts, or sumo wrestling. Take turns being the announcer.
- Play hide-and-seek. Reward him with a kiss when he finds you. And give him a big hug!
- Act out a scene from a movie you both like. Do the whole thing in bizarre voices or create alternate endings.
Things to Do to Him
- Tickle him! If he's ticklish and likes to be tickled, tickle him often and keep finding new ticklish spots. Try tickling his tummy, sides, ribs, etc. Stroke his feet with your fingernails.
- Surprise attack him. If you’re on the floor, grab his leg(s) and attempt to drag him somewhere. Or, wrestle him (gently) to the ground yelling, “You’ll never take me alive!!”
- Bite him (gently). Sink your teeth into his shoulder and act like a crazed Chihuahua wrestling a large chew toy. Make growling sounds. Or, nibble on his ears or eyebrows. (Some guys find this extremely ticklish and will squirm.)
- Call him by a silly nickname. (Ex. Puddin’ Pop, Smoochy Pear, Mr. Biggles, etc.) Talk to him like he's your "darling wittle sweetheart", and cover his face with smoochy kisses, especially on his cheeks. Be sure he knows you're kidding and that this isn’t going to be a permanent lifestyle change.
- Jump on his back when he isn't expecting it and yell, "Piggyback ride!" Be sure that his knees aren’t bent at the time or he will collapse. (In fact, just be ready for the possibility that you’ll both end up in a pile on the floor.)
- React to a completely mundane statement with exaggerated awe. “You ate TWO bananas? By YOURSELF?? And you’re sure you didn’t drop one?”
- When he's about to kiss you, close your lips firmly, scrunch up your eyes and shake your head. Make it clear you're playing, though, so he doesn't think he's coming on too strong. (Only do this if you kiss often and are comfortable with each other; if your relationship is still in its early stages, you might make him self-conscious.)
- Be random. Only do this every once in a while or it will, by definition, stop being random. If you’re snuggling and he does something you like (petting your hair, stroking your cheek, etc.), purr and pretend to be a cat. Or, stare at him. Just stare. Then when he finally says, "What?" stare more, inch closer, and whisper something completely unrelated, then give him a kiss.
Tips
- This works best with easygoing guys. Be aware that your guy might not be into it.
Warnings
- Some of these things might turn guys off. Make sure he likes what you're doing before you take it too far.
- Don’t be pushy or annoying. This stuff isn’t funny when only one person’s in the mood to be silly.
- All of these things might cause embarrassment if you two are not alone.
- May contain suggestive themes. You decide where you want it to head (i.e. whether it's a tickle fight or a moment on the sofa).
