Post subject:  The funny guy

Hi,

I have a problem. So there is this girl in my class (in general the problem could occur everywhere) that I really like, but a very good friend of mine is a very funny guy, who likes to crack jokes all day and laugh. So the problem is not that he is funny, but that it looks like I am a boring person next to him (which I believe/hope I am not). I'm a more serious guy, and although I like to make people laugh, I don't do it all day and therefore the girls seem to give him more attention.

Now my question to you guys is, how do I make it look like I am not boring and that I am interesting but at the same time don't have to crack jokes all the time or looking for attention.

Problem is that material won't really help, I need more of a mindset, because we spend so much time in class together that I would run out of material in a day.

Thanks in advance,
Trust

It's really all about frame. Being a class clown can work against you often.

If you just sit there showing that you're enjoying his humour, but at the same time you're almost 'above' it. Try to picture a Dad with his young child in a room full of adults. The Dad sits back and lets the young kid tell its terrible baby-joke, the Dad smirks because the joke is funny (even if it's just funny because it's cute that a young child is telling a bad joke!) but you know that the Dad is the one in charge. The Dad might make a joke off the back of the kid's joke (whilst not being nasty about the kid, just telling an actual joke which bounces off the original joke), he might roll his eyes to the other adults with a telling smile and wink, but he's happy to humour the child and let them have the limelight for a little while. But you also know that when the kid gets bored and goes out of the room, the Dad can then switch over and do the hosting duties just fine, because he's really the one running the operation.

Be the best you and lead from strength. You arent the funny guy so be interesting in your own ways, being the funny guy isnt all its cracked up to be and if you try to be one it will come off as phoney and incongruent.

you ever tried just not worrying about it and asking the girl that you like to hang out with you outside of school?

who cares what that guy does, the early bird gets the worm, just go after what you like and you might be surprised at what happens

While her BT is up, ask qualification questions. Get her to invest in you. He whom she invests in most wins her affection.

I'd would go with this. I grew up in a small town so the
only entertainment we had was to make jokes all day.
I consider myself a very funny guy but I had friends
around me that could make you laugh like they're
Dane Cook but the problem would be that they
would get stuck being the "entertainer". So while
they entertain the girls, I would slowly start
making my move with eye contact and isolating
them (never being butthurt that they were funnier
then me.) Woman like laughing but after awhile it
gets old..so wait until the jokes start becoming
old and then make your move.

Do what YOU do best! Who cares about him? While he's being the class clown trying to impress the whole class you can focus on one girl, take action and get her number.

Keep your focus off of him and just focus on getting dates. Even if it's easier for you to approach them when he's not around. Don't try to compete with him at his game... just be you.

Figure out your strengths and go full-fledged with them.

Just ask her our. Having a full on conversation in class isn't the way to go, especially with your friend to jump in on the conversation. Ask her out on a date and see where things go from there.
