Does making your crush jealous work?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Im going to tell you an extreme example that happen to me.

The girl wanted me but was too depressed to follow up and one day i told a guy to fuck off and those two dated the next day i never acknowledged her again. She would follow me with him to try to make me jealous.

Then one day she was gone, all the gossip was that she got pregnant from the asshole at i already hated. The guy had a tendicy to go in and out of jail also the kids name is jr by the way.

To this day almost 10 years later i tear myself apart about the fact that i did not have the balls to say "fuck off" so she didn't have to fuck up her life with that guy. So DON'T PLAY THAT GAME!

Works only for weak and insecure guys. If you want to attract real men, you should be subtle but more honest with him. A man will walk away when you play games. A boy will chase harder when you make him jealous.

No. It's a sign of immaturity.

A person either likes you or they don't. So intentionally trying to make your crush jealous wouldn't faze them if they didn't like you , and if they did like you , they'd be turned off by such immature behaviour.

If you have a crush on someone then you should flirt with them , not some other guy.

In my case, absolutely not. If a girl I like finds another man attractive, I don't want to know. If she makes it obvious to me that she is lusting after someone else, she becomes "ruined" in my eyes (so to speak). There's no coming back from that.

It's even worse if she's doing it for the sole purpose of invoking a reaction out of me. That's so petty, that I'd want even less to do with her (if that were even possible).

Does work but only at times, playing hard to get usually back fires because in today's day, relationships are already getting difficult due to social normalization of promiscuity and hookup culture
That being said, if you are looking for a hookup or just a fling, then it might work, but if you are looking for a relationship then it will mostly backfire because the moment that mind play and manipulation falls into the dish, relationship oriented guys are gonna step back

Depends on this personality. If he isn't confident and doesn't belive in himself then you will just bring his spirit down by doing that and he'll probably drop down every hope that he has ( if he likes you ). However if he is confident it can probably work ! :D

Anonymous · Answer

If you're crushing and he's undecided, then a little jealousy can spur things on. It can make him realize he has feelings for you.

But only a little bit. Let him see you flirting with someone else or tell him you're thinking about dating someone. No more than that

It always depends. If your crush has his eye on you, then yes absolutely. But if they aren't really interested, you're just making your life harder.

in my opinion, it works on women - which is why women think it works on men. It never works on men. Which is why most men don't seem to realise just how well it can work on women.

It is immature. If someone tries that with me, I just lose all interest because they are playing emotional games and seem less reliable for long term.

Playing stupid games just signals to them 'I will play stupid games'.

vjedi · Answer

No. It's a good way to send the wrong signal to both guys, and drive him off.

Maxemeister · Answer

Nope. That would send them packing, trying to get over you, not looking to "rescue" you
