I think humor is one of the many corner stones of dating and successful relationships. Keeping your sense of humor about yourself and the other person can go a long way to keeping your relationship on an even keel. I accidently gave the wrong address to a man I was meeting for the first time. I neglected to include the South part of the street name so he went North, quite a ways in the wrong direction before he called to tell me he was going to be late because he couldn't find the restaurant. My apology was immediate and I said, "Good thing my house payment isn't dependent on my giving accurate directions." This made him laugh and he was grateful that I acknowledged it was completely my fault that he would be late. We had an additional laugh when he arrived and our lunch got started on a lighter note than it could have if either of us had been upset.
