same goes in dating, even if this girl considered you creepy and stalker person from the first moment and you succeeded in making her laugh, most probably she will be attracted to you and your mission will be somehow easier.

Second point, your chance in dating a girl you don't know on a social network like Facebook substantially increases by one of two points, your look and your popularity, even popularity has more impact than your look, for instance if you tried to date a girl on Facebook and she opened your profile picture and found hundreds of likes and comments, I believe that everything will be going on well.
yes this is shallow and superficial but she doesn't know you, so she should have to find something to be attracted to you, otherwise she will not react.

do you agree?
Making a woman date you isn't a mission....

If someone was to be continuously bothering me, sure, they COULD make me laugh... but it sure won't be making me feel less uncomfortable around them. It might make them seem less two-dimensionally creepy, but it wouldn't make me change my mind about them. I can actually say that with 100% certainty, as it happened. Had a man that I worked with offer to give me lifts home after he saw that I lived near (and walked an hour when the buses weren't running). It didn't take very long before I found things really uncomfortable, but I didn't know how to back out politely - but he was calling me on days off wanting to know what I was doing (he's old enough to be my dad). He even made me laugh a few times during the drives, but overall I was HORRIFIED to be around this person and eventually asked other coworkers to drive me home and pick me up.... So no, his persistence in trying to make me laugh had zero effect.

If someone makes it clear that they are not interested, it is extremely disrespectful to keep pushing.
