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?
