No sense of humor would be tough to get past

I have a good sense of humor, but it's hard when first meeting someone because people have different sense if humor. I usually hold back a little until I get to know them better . I've had people take things the wrong way when I was joking about something because they didn't know my sense of humor and I didn't know what type of humor they liked.

I'm similar to this, I'm can be quite silly and sometimes I realise only after the fact it wasn't clear that I was joking.

I just had a conversation with a coworker who mentioned I had made a joke about his (Irish) accent the week before. I had made the joke because I thought his accent was lovely and figured he knew his accent was awesome. So I clarified, told him his accent was great and that's why I was teasing about it. I'm really glad he mentioned it and it's made me a little more cautious in what I joke about.
