Why funny texts work (according to science)
Humor doesn’t just break the ice, it builds the bridge. Studies show that when someone makes us laugh, we interpret it as a sign of warmth, intelligence, and even creativity. And in relationships, shared laughter is linked to higher satisfaction and closeness. 📚 Source: DiDonato, T. E., et al., 2016, Humor styles and romantic relationship quality
