Laughing a lot during a first date is typically a really great sign that you're hitting it off well. Sharing a laugh means you both have a similar sense of humor and have fun together. It also means that you let your guard down around each other, so it's a good indicator that the other person is into you.
If you want to try getting more laughs on your first date, ask them a silly question like "What's the funniest memory from your childhood?" or "What made you laugh the hardest this week?" When it feels natural, don't be afraid to tell a clean, flirty joke to show off your sense of humor and break the ice.

It's a good sign because humor is a huge part of relationships. As you choose to be with somebody, there are going to be great times, and there are going to be very tough times. If the other person generally has a good sense of humor, you're probably going to sail through a lot of things a lot easier than expected.
One thing to look out for is what kind of humor they are participating in or communicating. Are they continuously putting other people down and making jokes at other people’s expense, or are they self-deprecating? Do they have a lighter sense of humor and something that isn’t too politically incorrect, or vice versa?
