Funnier with my girlfriends than with my partner ( 23F & 27M, 10 months)

Love

I’m wondering if anyone else can relate to this.

When I’m with my girlfriends, I’m genuinely really funny (and they are too). I can always make them laugh, I come up with the dumbest jokes, and I somehow manage to deliver them well. With my boyfriend, though, it’s not really like that.

He does think I’m funny, and every now and then I can get a really good laugh out of him, but most of the time his reaction is more subdued. The same goes the other way around. I’m wondering if it just takes time until we reach that stage, or if this is actually pretty normal in relationships.

The thing is, we generally have the same sense of humor. Maybe it’s also because he just doesn’t laugh as loudly or wholeheartedly as my girlfriends do. Another thing I’ve noticed is that I can never tell a story in a funny way when I’m talking to him. I always end up messing up the punchline somehow. Is this normal or will it get better over time? Do man just dont laugh?
