Dear Diana,
I'm 26 and don't have the personality that can keep a person enthralled. I wouldn't describe myself as intellectually challenged. However, I do struggle to understand sarcasm and lack a sense of humour. I feel uncomfortable with small talk. I do not know how to react when women are around me. I have heard that women like men with humour and I totally
lack it.

Dear Riyaz,
You may be a shy, reserved type of guy, but that does not mean that you will not find a woman of your choice. You may have heard that women dig guys with a sense of humour, but there are a lot of women out there who also like the serious, brooding types. If you feel you lack social skills, learn to loosen up and do not get self-conscious when striking a conversation. If need be seek counselling as well. It is best to be just you instead of trying to ape someone who you cannot be.
