One important note.

While humour is important, and girls like to laugh. I think it was Chris Rock that said "no one wants to fata a comedian, they want rock stars, and actors. No one says Chris Rock, man I want to FATA HIM! They'd be strategic about it, have to think about it, you know if I was to fata Chris Rock, I bet he'd pay my Visa bill."

In my before mentioned scenario, I could make that girl laugh like no one else, I'd still argue I can. A simple look, or tone of a response would make her break down into tears from laughter (in part why I never understood why she didn't want to date). In the end it's a combination of things, while humour is important, it's not the most important thing.

And I agree with Pyro, honesty is the best policy (as lame as it is). When it comes to advice or needing a shoulder to cry on, I'm the guy that will tell it like it is, and not sugar coat things because you're upset. My theory is, if I'm upset I want the truth, and I want to know where I stand. If you lie, or sugar coat things for me I won't know and that doesn't help nor solve things.

On that note, slow and steady wins the race, it's a long shot, but a long shot is better than no shot if you don't try.

Good luck.
