I met a guy, 36, and we connected as mates as it seems like we are very much alike apart from one thing. He’s just way too serious. Work, work, work, work. He doesn’t seem to know how to have fun, enjoy life a little.
What can I do to help him to realise there’s more to life than all seriousness? In general.
What is fun for you?
Don’t say sex or video games! 😀

Sex AND video games
Think of something you do for fun and invite him. It’s not complicated.
Snowboarding in the winter. Golf in the summer.
when was the last time he took a vacation
what does he do on his downtime
does he even take downtime
do the things he likes to do on his downtime and then introduce fun things to do during that downtime.
Drugs and music
Social conditioning. We are expected to work and like it, be thankful that we can provide..
My partner was surprised one time to learn that no, I didn’t like mowing the lawns and cutting the hedges, I only did it because  no one else will do it for me_
Just reflect on pop culture (music).
It’s all ‘girls just want to have fun’ and ‘Johnny is working down at the docks.’
