I walked into their apartment a few minutes ago, to try out the joke idea.
Their door was unlocked so I just went in, and one of them was laying down on the couch taking a nap. I turned the lights on and told her i had a joke for her.
As she was waking up I go:
"Why did B-Shoc cross the road?"
...
"To get to the Weessssttt--Siiidddeee!"
and then I told her, "check out the album at www.b-shoc.com"
For some reason she was screaming at me to get out. I think maybe she mighta been a bit too tired to appreciate my joke.
Oh well. What a bitch.
ok look all humour aside, you should never, ever go into a room uninvited when the door is closed (personally i cringe at the thought of walking in uninvited or unescorted - its someones home, and you dont ever invade. ever. everevereverever)
also, you have to learn to figure out when things are appropriate socially - waking someone up in their own home to tell them a joke is completely innappropriate - you wait until its a social/party environment and say it amongst company that is there for that sort of thing.
your biggest problem, from what i can see, is making people feel comfortable around you.
were i you, i would keep it simple - be respectful, kind, and yourself. say hi when you see people, ask how their day was, and try to remember something about what theyve told you to ask about next time you see them. youll gradually earn their friendship and regard, and things will follow on from there.
if youre looking for a relationship as you said, remember that relationships are based on friendship and respect - which is why a lot of 'players' etc that i know have so much trouble in relationships - they build relationships on foundations of deceit or sex. doesnt work. sincerity is the key.
good luck
