10 Ways to Make Him Jealous
We have to admit: intentionally making someone jealous is kind of cruel, be we totally understand that sometimes jealousy is the only tactic that works. Sometimes people need a taste of their own medicine, or sometimes they just don’t react until it really affects them. Whatever your reasons are for wanting to make him jealous, here’s 10 easy ways to get his blood boiling.
1. Look Amazing
You know when you see your ex walking down the street, and they look 10 times hotter than when the two of you were dating? Suddenly you feel like maybe it wasn’t the best idea to break up with him over that stupid text message. You hated that feeling, right? So why not give it a shot!
If you want to make someone jealous, it is really as simple as that: look so good they regret the day the broke up with you, ignored your call, or just simply didn’t give you the time of day. Then when they realize your mistake you’ll be getting too much attention from everyone around you to even notice them. Now that’s some sweet payback you can enjoy!
Some great ideas to suddenly look better than you ever did before:
-Try eating healthier and following a regular exercise routine to shed a few pounds.
-Switch up your makeup. Maybe some romantic red lipstick would catch his eye?
-Get a new hairstyle or brand new hair color that pops. Maybe he’d be mad about missing out on a brand new blonde?
-Wear your most flattering clothes. That flirty skirt has never looked so good!
2. Act Like You Don’t Care
Human nature is so weird sometimes. I mean, why do we suddenly want something or someone more when we can’t have it or they don’t want us back? It’s so ridiculous, but that’s just the way it is.
Let’s say you’ve been trying to get his attention for some time. Every text you send or flirty comment you make is ignored and brushed off like it doesn’t matter. Have you tried doing the opposite? Don’t send him text messages, in fact, act like he doesn’t really exist. Try not to look at him, and when he comes up to talk to you act like it doesn’t really matter. A simple smile and a few short words before you have somewhere else to be. A little taste of his own medicine might realize what he lost.
3. Pretend to be Busy
So he finally decided he wants to hang out. After days of trying to set something up, he is finally free enough for you. Well you know what? Don’t jump on it- in fact, do the exact opposite: pretend YOU are the busy one. To make him even more jealous, keep your plans mysterious. Are you busy seeing someone else? He will never know!
4. Don’t Respond to Him Immediately
If you’re trying to make someone jealous, you can’t be needy. That’s a fact. So when he tries texting you or calling you, you definitely don’t want to respond right away. You should wait anywhere between 30 minutes and 4 hours, but any longer than that is just plain rude (and yes, that IS something we are trying to avoid). Unless you are actually busy doing something, we recommend a 30 minute wait to keep him on his toes. When you do finally respond, try to keep the conversation brief- tip number 5.
5. Keep Conversations Brief
This roots back to not being needy and keeping everything mysterious. You don’t want to seem like you have all the free time on your hands and never want to stop talking to him. Instead, make him jealous by not saying much and being very casual with him. Here is an idea of what we mean by keeping conversations brief.
What not to do:
Boy: Hey what’s up?
Girl: Oh my gosh, hi! How are you? I was just thinking about you. I’m just relaxing in my room. What are you doing? We should hang out soon!
What you should do:
Boy: Hey what’s up?
Girl: (Remember, at least 30 minutes later. If you’re really wanting to talk to him, 15 minutes is the absolute lowest amount of time to wait!) Hey, I’m just getting ready to head out. You? (Even if you’re just in your jammies at home, say something like that!)
Boy: Oh, doing anything fun? I’m just finishing up my lunch.
Girl: Yeah, it’s going to be a great night.
-Saying things like that makes him wonder what you are doing and WHY it’s going to be such a ‘great’ night. And yes, even if you’re just going to be at home in front of your television watching the X Files with a huge bowl of popcorn, you don’t want HIM to know that. Make him jealous with simple comments like that one!
6. Have a Great Time Without Him
When someone thinks that you need them, they think it’s impossible for you to have a good time without them. To kick this certain someone off their high horse and make them seething with jealousy, all you really need to do is have a great time without him. He won’t believe it. After all, you’re supposed to be lost without him, right? There’s no WAY you could enjoy yourself without his company. So go ahead and put on some heels, call up your gal pals, and have a night to remember- all without that certain guy you’re trying to make jealous.
If you want to make him a little more jealous, try adding some guy friends to your outing, or going on a one on one outing with a guy. Doesn’t have to be a date, just two friends hanging out. But remember- whether it’s one guy, two guys, or twelve, he will be incredibly jealous that all these men around you but he isn’t one of them.
7. Talk About Other Men
You know when you’re talking to a guy you like, and he keeps commenting about other females? Which ones he likes, which ones he thinks are pretty- hey, he even commented on how great that girl looks in her short shorts- RIGHT in front of you. Pretty irritating, right? Well, why not pull this same trick on the guy you’re trying to make jealous. After all, if it works on 99 percent of the rest of the population, why wouldn’t it work on him too? Remember to keep your comments smooth and natural, not obnoxious so you give it away that you are actually TRYING to make him mad. Some things you might consider saying:
-Slipping in that you hung out with a guy the other night and watched the movie he’s talking about.
-Mentioning how hot the singer looks in a certain band.
-Telling him to hold on so you can respond to a text message from this guy.
-‘Accidentally’ blurting out loud how muscular and handsome that guy looked in his tank top.
8. Flirt With Other Men
If he’s not getting the attention, someone else is- and that is bound to make him ferociously jealous. But with this tip, you need to be extra careful. You don’t want to take the flirting overboard and make it look like you’re a bit of a floozy. Just keep it simple and casual. Laugh with other men and touch their arm. Tell other men they look good in their shirts. Ask other guys if they’ve been working out. Nothing overboard, yet all comments that flatter another man other than the one you’re trying to make jealous.
9. Date Another Man
Ladies, let me warn you: this option can either go really bad, or really good. It all depends on the guy and how he will react to you dating another man. However, it is certainly the most extreme way to make someone else jealous and if he reacts in the way you want, then consider yourself lucky. This could go one of two ways:
-The first situation starts out like this. You want to make a guy jealous, and nothing seems to be working. You decide enough is enough and try to make him jealous by dating another man. The other guy gets overwhelmingly jealous and decides that it was a mistake to dump you or not pay attention to you in the first place. He decides he will do anything to get you back and take you away from your newfound lover. He comes to your window at night with guitar in hand, singing your favorite tune. He brings you a bouquet of roses and tells you how beautiful you are. After a week or two of some serious courting, the two of you decide to become a couple. And while you successfully got your dream guy, you left the other guy hanging. It’s a little messed up, but maybe he will understand.
-Second theory. There’s a guy who just recently dumped you or acts like you don’t even exist, despite your many times to get his attention. You think that the only way he’s going to react is if he sees you hand in hand with another man. So you go out and land yourself a good looking guy, and flaunt him everywhere- especially in front of the other guy. The only problem is, the other guy saw- multiple times- and has done nothing. In fact, he continues about his business like nothing even happens. And in that moment, you realize he doesn’t care. Maybe you didn’t get the guy of your dreams, but at least you found a man that likes you, right?
10. Use Social Media
Social media is a useful tool for an abundance of things. I mean, you can find your best friend from preschool, sell your brand new weight loss product, or create a cool horror movie fan club group where everyone shares their favorite scenes of the most gory films. So why not use it as a tool to get that guy jealous? You can use social media in so, so many different ways. Here are just a FEW awesome examples below.
-Post a hot picture. You know, the one you took before heading to the club last weekend. The one where you have the red miniskirt and crop top and your hair came out just oh-so-perfect? That’s the one!
-Post a picture of you and your friends having fun. Remember, you’re not supposed to be able to function without him, let alone have a great time.
-Post a picture of you and another guy- even if you’re just friends. How would this NOT make him jealous?
-Post a status about how great your night was, but keep the details mysterious. You might want to end your status update with a winking smiley face or something along those lines.
-Change your status to ‘In a Relationship’, even if you’re still single. At least that will get his attention right?
-Comment and like on another guy’s pictures and statuses; just don’t go overboard.
-If he decides to message you on the social media website, think of it as a text message and use the same rules listed above: brief conversations, keeping plans mysterious, and not responding immediately.
There, you have it. The top 10 ways to make a guy super jealous. And whadd’ya know, they’re all fairly simple tips, right? Look your best, have a great time (with and without other guys), and don’t act like he’s too important. You will probably have him in the palm of your hands before you know it.
Ladies, what are some tactics you have used to make a guy jealous? Did they work?

He should not be speaking with other women and thinking about having children with them. Speak directly and honestly to him about your feelings. Take this time to become closer with your family and friends who care about you. They will be able to support you if substantial changes come to your relationship. You may benefit by speaking with your friends about his actions. They will help you in the future. Best of luck, Shania!

hi. I have a crush on this guy at school and I opened up to him about my feelings but he said he wasn’t so interested and I told him that it’s cool. The thing is that I know that he likes me but is just trying to play hard to get… I’m planning to make him jealous, and I’m going to start ignoring him in every possible way. I will make him want me and by the time he does that, I will tell him that I am no longer interested even if I am. I just want to make him feel what I feel, am I being selfish?

Playing hard to get and making someone intentionally jealous do make make a very good foundation for a relationship. If you tell him you are no longer interested in him, then he will think that you are not interested in move on. Is that what you really want to happen? If you think he does not like you, then just move on and forget about him. If you think that he does like you, then just try to stay friends and hope that he makes the next move. If he likes to play games though, he is probably not the type of person you want to date, so be very careful before you decide what you want to do.

The only way to know for certain if someone wants to develop a relationship with you is to speak with them honestly and directly about your feelings. This will give you the insights that you need to make your life changing decisions. If you are dating someone, then you should be seeking a relationship with this person at this time. It is both unfair to your partner and this person that you are seeking a relationship with. Remain honest and mindful as you move forward and good things will come your way.

Hi I’m in a distant relationship its been a couple of months now… We were on and off two years ago because I wasnt ready to commit so he waited for me and now we are here…. He does everything he is supposed to,he contacts me as much as possible and he gives me no reason to doubt him…He makes me feel extremely loved for sure and being with him has brought me so much joy…..My only problem is he doesn’t like posting about me on social media and even if he does its for about twenty minutes…At least a status with my name and a heart would make me feel better.. I questioned him about it and he couldn’t give me any valid excuse….We are so far apart and it will be a while before we see each other so at least him posting about me will show I’m there so other ladies should back off…..what should I do?

It is possible that he is not the kind of person who shares public displays of affection. It is also possible that he doesn’t share loving feelings over social media. However, since it is important to you, you should speak with him directly and honestly about your feelings again. If he decides that he agrees with your standpoint, then you may convince him to do just that. But be sure to remember that other people may show their affection in different ways than you do.

If the two of you have shared your feelings with your respective families and they have accepted your relationship, then you can move forward. If he continues to hide his desire for you, then you may have some concerns. However, do not allow something like religion from stopping you from nourishing your relationship. People from all over the world have relationships with people from other religions. Remain positive and be the cause for change in your society. The world will only become a more inviting and pleasant place if more people challenge religious norms that prevent people from finding love.

If the two of you are in a long distance relationship and he is not paying attention to you, then you need have a direct and honest conversation with him. Message him with your feeling and desires for your relationship. If he agrees, then you two should have fewer problems as he will be paying more attention to you. If he does not share your feelings, then you know that your relationship is in trouble. You may need to visit him in person to reignite your relationship.

If you think a guy likes you, then he probably likes you. If you want to develop a relationship with this person, then speak with him directly and honestly about your feelings. If he shares your feelings, then you know that you can nurture your relationship. If he does not share your feelings, then at least he knows how you feel and it may sprout feelings in time. Remain positive as you move forward.

If he’s ignoring you, say “F*** him!” and ignore him, FOREVER. You deserve someone who responds to your needs, likes you enough not to be detached, and who pursues you. Period. If you don’t believe that about yourself, no one will.
(Oooh, I just made my own self feel better!)

Thank you for sharing your response. It is always wise to demand respect for yourself and if someone is ignoring you, then it is good to ignore them as well. We are happy to hear that you also feel better, so thank you for sharing your positive ideas.

if your boyfriend is overly jealous that isn’t a good thing. That can be very unhealthy. If he cannot open up to you I would tell him I don’t think it is going to work. A relationship takes effort from both people not just one side. After you heal from the break up I would move on.

That is often true. Jealousy is not always a positive emotion that you want to cultivate in people, especially people that you care about. Jealously is a tool that is used, but should be minimized as much as possible.

hi I would just like to ask for an advice, i am in a 5 yrs on and off relationship, but the first 1-2 yrs were aren’t as good as for the last 3 years.
for the past 4 years we are on long distance set up but this last year we were meeting each other but because we are on strict place we just say hi and hello in our workplace. i often got jealous everytime i saw him smiling with other workmates and i feel angry everytime he didn’t talk to me or even say a single word not knowing that this is our chance to be together compared before.
my question is, is my “overreaction” is right or is just because im not used to in this kind of relationship that we dont see each other for a long time? what should i do in order for me to carry and hold my emotions everytime im angry because he just remain silent.
please do help me thanks you

If you find yourself angry at people for their actions, then take a moment to determine what about their actions are influencing you to feel negative emotions. Detach yourself from your desires and look inward. Determine what it important to you that you have control over. You do not need to let your feelings be controlled by someone else. Speak with this person directly about your feelings. If he chooses to respect your feelings, then go from there. But, if he chooses to not respect you, then you know that your relationship is over and that you can move on.

If he is having a difficult time communicating with you, then perhaps you should try to reach him on the level of his current mindset. You explained before that he is now playing football, so your best option is to show interest in football. See if your school has a girl’s team, or maybe try for another sport that will allow the two of you to be practicing near each other.

As narcissitic as this sounds.. I want your help please! So I was sort of friends with benefits with this guy, and we hang around the same people so like whenever i felt like i wanted his attention i would try to spice things up and do something he likes but be cool about it and act regular. He started ignoring me and things went bad — I sort of just want to make him jealous and want me back before I move in July. He recently just got into a relationship with one of his exes and I kind of want him to still be in a relationship with his girlfriend but want me? I just want to make him jealous to a point where he wants me instead of her and whenever he’s trying to pay attention to her, he ends up paying attention to me. I want him to somehow end up texting me or calling me or pulling me into a random staircase and tell me how much he wants me. Can you help?
web admin
June 4, 2016 at 1:16 pm
I do not think that making him jealous would be that effective. If he is with her and goes for you, then you will have trust issues and never know if he would just do the same thing to you. Plus, he had a chance to date you when you guys were friends with benefits. If he did not ask you out then, it is unlikely that he will ruin this relationship to be with you. If you continue to try to make him jealous, his new girlfriend may even make him stop talking to you completely, so be careful.

See i am dating thus guy and he touches other girls like on their butt and stuff when im not around and every time i see him hes with a girl touching all over her so should i break up with him or make him jealouse and see if he changes his ways
web admin
May 23, 2016 at 8:59 am
He shouldn’t be touching other girls or slapping their butts. He obviously knows that he should not be doing that, which is why he does not do it when you are around. I think that trying to make him jealous would only make your relationship situation worse. If you are hopeful about making the relationship work, tell him about how you feel and ask him to change. If he does not actually change and stop doing that, then break up with him. Good luck, Faith!

Hey. I am a girl and i can somehow relate to your post. I have been with this guy for almost 3 years now. We have had our share of ups and downs but there were times i had to give up on him for not being as serious as i was. there came a time when i finally thought of giving up on him even though i was going through serious depression. in the meanwhile, a guy from my workplace, (who i used to have a crush on but we still decided to be on good and decent terms,) started telling me how he liked me from the day one and all and that he knew he had a crush on me too. So he asked me out too,i wanted to try getting out of my relationshipwhich was going no where, so i agreed and we met up. i just thought of it as a casual meeting, while he was trying to be flirty sometimes kissing my hands. at some points, i even discouraged him for doing that. And since that meeting, he is lost for good. He is continuously avoiding me. its almost been a month now. i don’t think turning him down would be a major reason. i never cared even if he existed and he was always the one to say hi. so this is kind of strange. is this his way of trying to keep me thinking about him or is he actually avoiding me? and to add more, he has been married for like 5 years i believe. Im back with my guy now and he is making all his efforts to woe me back and i think its better to make all my efforts for this relationship rather for for someone who might have ill intentions for me.

May 17, 2016 at 8:34 am
He may be avoiding you because he has realized the harm that this type of relationship could cause his marriage and your relationship. The fact that you told him not to kiss you may have made him even more likely to assume that nothing could happen and he should just ignore you. Since you are back with your boyfriend, I would not worry about it or think of him. He is most likely just trying to move on–and even if he is trying to make you jealous, it does not matter because you are in a relationship and trying to work things out with your boyfriend.

Girls, you dont need to stress yourself. Karma will take care of it. I caught my guy starring at a lady in a gay bar. Im observing them attracted to each other. I am steaming and before the show ends, I intentionally look at my bf and he got rattled to see me upset. I stay silent and I keep him think about his flirtiness. On the way to his friend’s restaurant he noticed me so silent. And he start caressing and asking me if Im okay (as if he is so innocent). I told him Im not looking for other guy, but if I find reasons to leave him, Well sorry, there are lots of men around too.
Karma take place so soon when his friend got so attracted and complementing me. He was trying to touch my face as if he was giggling but the difference is, I am not that type of a girl who can flirt. That way, my guy will surely think that I will be a big loss if I leave him.

Hello anyway i have a question, so theres this girl at my school who really loved me and i never really maned up and did anything with her and she ended up getting a boyfriend thing is he knows she likes me because she told him thinking he would help her out and as time went on , i saw that she would try and make me jelous while she was with him like kissing him infront of me while she looks and sees if im still looking at her or laughing very hard at what he does if im near them.(oh stop insert name here) and i decided that i want to tell her how i felt at first i just wanted to get that off my chest i never thought it would lead to soemthing else. So i send my friend to tell her that i really did used to like her and he tells me that she was happy and smiling. And later that day she started trying to get my attention again like old times but i was really sad and depressed about her being taken so i didnt really notice the things she was doing till now its been at this point the have been dating 3 and a half months and it looked like she wanted me to make a move first. Well i didnt because of the reason stated above well now i know whats going on completely like her getting happy and trying to get me jelous and all that. it has been 2 months since my friend told her and im here asking if i should start talking to her and will it go somewhere if i do? also she had a crush on me for like a year and a half now. i really cant believe she still had some feelings for me after some time and not acknowledgeing her in the pst and turning her down aswell. I was just shy and scared to try and approach her so should i talk to her and if so what will most likely happen?

If she is still in a relationship, do not do anything. You have to respect the fact that she is in the relationship. Otherwise, it could lead to a lot of drama and hurt feelings–plus, you would never be able to trust her not to leave you for another guy if she leaves another guy for you. If she is single, go for it! It sounds like she has had a crush on you for a long time, and she wants you to make a move. Once she is single, start flirting with her and ask her out. Until then, all you can do is wait. Good luck!

February 4, 2016 at 1:05 pm
Alright, I’ve got an off question. Gal I’ve known for several years. She’s pretty shy (she had an emotionally abusive ex..was a whole thing) She’s 23, works 3-4 12 hour shifts a week, is going back to school…broad strokes she has all of one day “off” a week.
We went out on Halloween, there was a very friendly hug, the next week while we were talking she was rubbing her foot up and down my leg the whole time, the next week was an even friendlier hug and an offer was made, she said she had been dating someone (lets just say the compromising state of dress and half hearted way it was said etc…)but I didn’t think it was appropriate so we didn’t go any farther. The next few weeks whenever we were together (unfortunately she lives in a shoebox with her sister and brother in law)there was the foot thing and heavy flirting the whole bit.
Two weeks ago she out of the blue sends some message saying she’s been spending a lot of time with some other guy and then yesterday implies she’s going out with him this Saturday. There’s a whole lot more to this but the gist is that she was spending all her time with me then just does a complete 180 but keeps throwing me texts etc. Is this the jealousy thing or straight up bi-polar disorder!?
web admin
February 6, 2016 at 10:55 pm
I do not think that it is bipolar disorder or a jealousy thing. Instead, it seems like she is trying to do the right thing by letting you know that she is not being exclusive. It is fairly normal to date more than one person at a time until things become serious or exclusive. She might not be telling you it directly, but it seems like she is trying to let you know that she is still seeing other people. For the moment, it seems like she may just want to get to know you better and see how things go. If you guys end up being the right match, you can always talk about making things exclusive later. Good luck, Frustrated!
