Does making a girl jealous work?

[Anonymous]

This girl acts like she likes me in class and always comes and talks to me and laughs at everything I say. I asked her out twice and both times she said she couldnt make it. I want to write her off but she keeps approaching me to chat and looks all happy.

Im thinking of flirting with some other girls in class to see how she reacts. I figure then I will know.

This question is, more complex than it appears at first glance in my opinion. The answer in short is, in my opinion, no you don't want to actively play games because that's obviously childish and just creates problems. BUT, it is wise to not become too invested in a girl too early (a mistake many, Maaaaannyyyy of us guys have been guilty of). Therefore, it is best practice in my opinion to play the field! Flirt and get to know with several girls, even if she happens to be near and see you with other girls, it'll help validate you by her seeing you with other girls, etc.
So don't play games, but make yourself high status and MAKE yourself a catch. Good luck!

Trying to make someone jealous is an immature thing to do, it's a childish way of trying to get a reaction from a person. It's never a suggested way of going about things.

My personal opinion, I don't think making someone jealous will actually work. More often than not it backfires, it fails.

I would suggest that don't waste your time and energy on trying to make this woman jealous, just mind your business, leave her alone, live your life don't keep any contact with her. If she is interested let her ask you out and if she doesn't then just let her be.

For most girls, trying to make her jealous would just be a turn off. Unless the girl you're talking about is into playing games like that, I don't think making her jealous is going to help. Now making her jealous could tell you whether she does have an interest in you or not. Also, not every girl who comes and talks to you is into you. For example, I'll start a convo with anyone I feel like wouldn't mind talking to me, guy or girl. She could be just like me and enjoy talking to you.

You got to know that some people are flirtatious naturally and she might have all the guys wondering but if she really likes you she would make an effort for you to notice her... If she keeps passing off ur dates then she might genuinely be busy or just not that interested. U can try making her jealous but it's not very nice to just be straight forward with her :)

[Asker]

Should I just tell her I like her? I just want to know if she likes me or not. I'm confused because I never see her talking to any other guys and whenever she sees me she comes over and constantly talks to me. Thats why I thought she likes me. She keeps doing it even after rejecting my dates. I just want to know how she feels. I'm fine with being just friends.

[chanicarose]

I'd tell her how you feel even if it may seem like an awkward thing to do at least she knows your feelings for her

If a guy tries to make me jealous it's like he's trying to make me compete for him and I find that such a turn off, I'm not gonna compete for a guy, and if they're trying to do that then it shows me that I'm not good enough without playing games, it's just silly, I don't recommend it

[LeFrogDog]

I've been down this road and yeah it is possible it can get her attention but its cheap. Just have fun around her and don't sweat the little details. I believe deep down women want a guy that won't bullshit her and is a real blast to be around.

[HiiLyFe]

Yes it does work. Women are very competitive when it comes to men and other women. But don't do it to make her jealous do it to show her you have other options!

[marioz766h]

No IT DOESN'T. She'll just slowly back off if u do. Fyi, only girlfriends get jealous and can act on it

[Nobori]

Eh, maybe. When a guy purposely does things to make me jealous, it would just piss me off and lower my interest but that could just be me.

It has a higher chance of backfiring than it does of working.

I'll be honest, I think yes. Of course it doesn't work for everyone but I do think it does work enough times to not eliminate the tactic.

It won't work in your situation though, I mean it'll extremely obvious what you're trying to do...

[HeresJames1]

It can work if you're trying to judge if they're interested in you or not, but it won't work in trying to get her to go out with you.

[Anonymous]

Well if it makes her jealous, you know she's into you lol

[takumii]

That's kinda lame, and pretty much have the opposite effect.

[Anonymous]

Yeah it does. Sometimes she could ignore and lose interest though if she notice you with other girls often.

[SüßeJäger]

Don't play games, be honest.

[amfbruzer]

Personally I would just get pissed

[Anonymous]

No, more like just piss her off, it doesn't work.

[teawrecks]
