I can be funny sometimes. When I am with a different group of friends who aren't so obnoxious I do open up a bit more. I also sometimes do teach the salsa class and I can be funny in there too. I seriously considered taking an improvisational comedy class. I'm sure it wouldn't only help me in expressing my funny side in general, it will also really help my salsa teaching skills. It's expensive though and I don't have a job yet. After I get a job I'm planning on taking the class.

Back in the day, I was only somewhat witty and humorous. Over the years, I learned to develop it. I learned to basically lie to people. Telling people you're a hand model instead of web programmer usually ends up in a more humorous situation (this all depends on who I am with of course). I didn't necessarily change who I was, I just improved my existing skills. Exaggeration and acting are also forms of lying and can be used for humor. I also learned how to tease and poke fun of people (after I have built somewhat of a rapport). It seems that when a person is being teased and they know it's in jest, then they feel more accepted. I've noticed this helps in breaking the ice.

Good advice. Thanks. I don't like lying to the girls I'm interested in. In fact, I take great pride in that I do not ever lie to them. But maybe if they know that I'm lying... the hand model thing. That would be great. And I don't have the prettiest hands. Mind if I use it? LOL

Also, you seem very open and talkative online. But you say you aren't in real life. What is the difference? You say that it is because of anonymity. Well, it's because you don't care what we think, right? You don't feel like we need to approve of what you say. Has there ever been a situation in real life where you are as open as you are online? What were the factors that lead to that situation?

It's really not that I'm anonymous. It's that I have time to formulate my answers and I don't get interrupted and walked all over.
