Act Silly with Your Girlfriend
Relationships have many different sides to them. One thing we often forget is that being silly isn’t childish, it’s actually a great way to de-stress, explore your sense of humor, and deepen your relationship while not taking yourself (or life) too seriously. This will stretch you both in ways you hadn’t considered and open up opportunities to grow closer and more intimate. After all, there’s no one we’d rather laugh and have fun with than our girlfriend (aka best friend).

Steps
Doing Things with Her
- Ask funny questions. Not only will they make her laugh but they will make her think at the same time, and that is something all girls love: stimulating their funny bone and their mind. You don’t have to limit your imagination; be true to your own warped sense of humor and viewpoint because that’s really the whole point. Being yourself in a fun and funny way – there’s nothing sexier than that. Some examples could be:
- What would your superpower choice be?
- If you could only wear one color for the rest of your life, what would be it?
- if you could be any animal for a day, which would you choose?
- You can beam one person to live like an Inuit in the North Pole never to be seen by society again. Who is it?
- What would be the hardest food to give up?
- Go to the park. Swing on the swings, slide on the slide, climb the jungle gym, play king of the hill, and just let it all hang out. There’s nothing more fun than getting in touch with your inner child.
- Narrate your scene. When you’re in the room together narrate what’s happening, what you’re thinking, what she’s thinking, and make it different genres: drama, noir, romcom, detective/thriller, action movie, or superhero movie. She can join in and you can switch narrators.
- Head out in your pajamas. Have a little quality time at the diner, coffee shop, shopping, or doing just about anything while in your PJ’s. You can’t help but feel a little silly and have a little fun.
- Pretend you’re from somewhere else. Can you do a Scottish accent? English? Hindu? Even if you’re not good at it you’ll both have a lot of fun creating new identities and speaking in a foreign accent.
- Play truth or dare. Get old school by bringing back this game from your childhood. Just make sure you both agree to keep the dares safe and legal because it’s no fun going from silly to incarcerated or hospitalized.
- Feed her while she’s blindfolded. Mix in an assortment of hot and cold, sweet and savory, spicy and mild. Chocolate is usually a must, and it’s a great idea to touch her lips with something cold then switch it out with something hot. Make sure it’s not too hot as you don’t want to burn her tongue.
Doing Things To Her
- Give her a cute nickname. The best ones are nicknames that mean something to you both that create or reinforce an inside joke between the two of you. The best part is, it doesn’t have to be the same one all the time. You can continually change it to fit the situation or to make light of something fun or funny either of you have done.
- Tickle her. This is a standard, go-to move. Nothing stirs up the good kind of trouble like tickling. There are too many areas for her to hide them all and besides, you should know where they are anyway.
- Wrestle her. Just like when you were little kids, it’s fun to wrestle with someone you care about or love. It’s even better when it’s done in surprise, sort of like a surprise attack of fun. If you do wrestle remember one key strategy: it’s okay to “cheat” once you get going.
- ”Cheating” is often tickling or some other fun trick that gives you the advantage.
- Attack with pillows. It’s a well-known fact in movies and on television that girls love a good pillow fight. In fact, it’s so popular that it has it’s own day now. So start your own romantic comedy with a stealthy surprise pillow attack.
- Act as if all she says is too complex for your small brain. Be astounded, amazed, confused, perplexed, and blown away by her continual brilliance.
- Wear her clothes. Pick out something that you can fit into (or not fit into?) and stroll through the house as if that’s what you’re wearing today. If you have the courage to do so, head to the coffee shop wearing her clothes.
- Be her medieval attendant. Call her m’lady and speak in reverent language and tones. Don’t let her do anything for herself for doing things for herself is above her station. Wax poetic, be her court jester, and fulfill her every whim.
- Pull out of a kiss. Look deeply in her eyes, move in for the kiss…then say, “Nah,” and walk away. More likely than not you’ll have to run away because that will definitely get a big response.
- Parlay this into the chase around the house. Run, feint, and flee and keep her chasing you because there’s nothing better than letting her catch you.
Tips
- Never do something halfway – go all out and the fun will escalate.
- Remember this is supposed to be fun. If she’s not into one thing, try another or turn it down a notch.
- Read her mood so you know how far you can take the silliness.
- Don't tickle her too much. This might cause her to no longer like being tickled or to become annoyed with you.
Warnings
- Tickling your girlfriend might cause a tickle fight.
- Some girls hate being tickled. If you know your girlfriend doesn't like it, don't attempt it.
- Some of these steps could be found very annoying.
- Never make fun of her.
