To make a guy jealous through texting, you have to make him think you're spending time with other guys-even though you're actually hanging out with your little sister or your beloved cat. The trick is to do it subtly and make him think that you have lots of ways to pass the time that have nothing to do with him. If you do this right, the guy will become very jealous and will want to be closer to you.
Step
Part 1 of 2: Making Him Want You More
Step 1. Don't answer the message after a long lag time
One of the best ways to make a guy jealous via text is to do nothing. If he starts texting you, wait at least a few hours before giving him an answer. If he texts on a Saturday night or Sunday night and you don't intend to see him, you can answer him the next day, leaving him wondering what you did to spend the night before.
- While it may be tempting to answer right away with something pompous or witty, you should wait at least an hour or two before responding. This will keep him guessing. He may start to wonder if you didn't answer because you were too busy with other guys.
- If he feels like he can talk to you whenever he wants, he won't think your time is so valuable.
Step 2. Make your activities seem mysterious
When you text her, don't tell her about your entire schedule this weekend. Even if you're actually just going to your grandpa's birthday party, you can make him think you're out on a date with the man of your dreams. Instead of revealing every little detail of your plans, just let him know that you're busy, that you have an event, or that you won't be able to chat with him. Here are some subtle ways to make him jealous:
- "I have work here…"
- "I've got a lot of plans this weekend."
- “Last night was really fun for me. So much fun!”
Step 3. Make your message sound like you're out on a date
You don't have to openly tell the guy that you have some cool plans for the night, but you can certainly get him to think that way! With just a few carefully chosen words, you can direct his mind to imagine… and keep on imagining. Here are some sentences you can say to make him think you're going on a date:
- "The conversation will be continued later, okay? I have to buy a new dress for tomorrow night.”
- "Last night I had the most incredible pasta dish."
- "I still can't believe how late I got home last night."
- “I have to get out now… I want to meet someone later.”
Step 4. Tease him, but don't overdo it
You'll need to flirt a little with the guy to keep him interested and to show that you're ready to be in a relationship with him. Give him a few cues that are just enough to make him feel that you really like him without making him think you're in his arms. Just giving a few compliments or casual comments at the right time can make this trick work. Try saying something like this:
- "I have to admit, you looked pretty good when you played basketball yesterday."
- "You always know what to say to make me feel better, don't you!"
- “You can make me laugh through texting, but can you make me laugh too if we meet…”
Step 5. Mention about other men casually
You don't have to be so outspoken about the fact that you hang out with other guys-whether they're real or just fake. You just need to give subtle hints or comments about other guys to make the guy you're talking to worry about what you're going through. But if you overdo it, the guy will know you're just bluffing. Here are some subtle ways to mention about other men:
- "This guy I just met actually went to a concert with me."
- "Bima took me to school yesterday…"
- "Satria lent his gramophone for my party."
Step 6. Try to look busy
Another way to make a guy jealous when you're texting him is to simply make it look like you have a lot to do, whether you're hanging out with other guys or not. You may be very busy with your classes, with a new odd job, with your soccer team, with one of your hobbies, or busy with your friends and family. Let him see that you have other priorities and he will get jealous because you have so many ways to spend time that have nothing to do with him.
- Don't just talk about how busy you are. Mention a few things you do in your free time on a casual basis and he'll wish he could spend more time with you.
- Your short message also doesn't have to sound like you've been writing and correcting it for hours before it's sent. Sending a short message that isn't completely clear or has a typo or two in it shows that you're too busy to have time to impress him.
Step 7. Act like you don't really care what he thinks
If he tries to make you jealous or talks about other girls, just take it easy and don't let him get a reaction from you. He'll see that you have the upper hand and there's not a single thing he can say to make you jealous. This will frustrate him a little, but will also make him feel more attracted to you because he will be more determined than ever to win your heart.
If he doesn't reply to your text messages for several hours, don't text him asking how he's doing. Wait for him to come to you
Step 8. Stop suddenly in the middle of a lively conversation
Another way to make a guy jealous is to make it seem as if you suddenly have to leave just as the two of you are starting to get excited. If you leave a text message after the topic gets boring, he'll think you're just losing interest; but if the two of you are having a nice chat and then you suddenly say you have to go, he's likely to get jealous because he'll think you're meeting another guy or being picked up on a date.
Plus, stopping in the middle of a lively conversation will let the guy realize how fun and easy it is to have a conversation with you
Part 2 of 2: Know What Not to Do
Step 1. Don't insult him
While you may want to make the guy jealous, you don't want it to hurt his feelings so much that he stops talking to you. You must respect him and never make fun of his appearance, income, or physical flaws. This will make the guy lose interest quickly and will also increase his chances of advising other guys to stay away from you. Here are some things you should avoid when messaging:
- "Ugh, you're so ugly."
- "I'm so fed up with assholes like you."
Step 2. Don't compare her to other men
While you can make a guy jealous by saying you're hanging out with other guys or even sending hints about the fact that you're on a date, you shouldn't start talking about how much better off all the other guys around you are than the guy you're texting. After all, you really want him to like you and if you go too far, he'll just think you're the bad guy. Here are some words you should avoid:
- “All the boys here are way cooler than you”
- "I just came back from a trip with a guy who earns twice your salary."
- "Why can't you dress more like Bayu? Today she looks really cute in a new jeans jacket."
Step 3. Don't be so cold that he thinks you don't like him
While you can't fully express how you feel when you're playing high-end, you don't want to be so overly cat-shy that the guy doesn't know if you really like him or pay attention to him. You have to give him hope or he will start contacting other girls he thinks he really wants to be with. You can be gentle and still let him know that you care about him. Here are some simple things you can say to him to keep him interested:
- “I missed you at the Sheila on 7 concert last night. Surely the concert would be much more exciting if you were there.”
- "You, you can always make me laugh."
- "Glad you contacted me. Entertainment after a long day.”
Step 4. Don't insult the girl he's with
While you might think that putting down the girls he's with will only make you look better or make him doubt his other love choices, in reality this will only make you seem insecure and unworthy of his time. If he says he's hanging out with other girls, you can simply act like you don't really care or say something nice about the girl to show that you're confident enough to not care if he's with other girls.
You should always be the more mature person and say something nice about the girl you're with instead of putting her down. If he mentions a girl he's hanging out with, you can say something as simple as "Oh, I like the Princess. She always makes me laugh."
Step 5. Don't ignore him completely if he sounds upset
While you might think that not texting him for two days is the best way to win over the guy's feelings, in reality if you go too far he'll just get angry and lose interest or even start to dislike you actively. If he really needs your help or has an important question and you ignore him just because you want to prove something, it will give him the wrong impression of you.
- Of course being cat-shy and looking like he's too busy to reply to his messages right away probably isn't that much of a problem. But if you're so outspoken that he feels like you're being mean to him on purpose, you could lose him.
- Try to understand the tone of the message. Is he just playing around, a little impatient or really needs to accept your answer?
Step 6. Don't mess around with love too much
Of course, playing with your feelings and getting a guy interested in you by making him jealous when you're texting each other can be fun. Playing with feelings during a face-to-face encounter can also be a great way to capture his attention. However, if you really want to start building a relationship with this guy, eventually you have to let him know that you really care about him and he needs to know that there's no other guy you care about but him. This is the only way to really advance to the next step with him.
While playing games to keep a guy interested and keeping his attention on you can help propel a relationship forward and will keep things interesting, you don't want to spend too much time making a guy jealous via text if you want to. start a genuine relationship with him
Warning
- Be careful not to look desperate or as if you are deliberately trying to make him jealous. Use your best judgment.
- It can make you look evil and can have the opposite effect of expectation.
- It might not really work
- If the guy finds out that you're deliberately trying to make him jealous, stop doing it and apologize.
