What are signs a guy is trying to make you jealous?

So this a guy that I’ve been on and off again for years. He appears to be recently dating someone new but I don’t know if it’s serious or he’s just trying to annoy me. He last reached out to me around 3 months ago asking to see me and then started dating this girl a month after that.

So how is dating a girl trying to make you jealous, or "annoy" you?

Well in terms of social media. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with stories but he created a private story and added me to it where he keeps posting her usually when she’s not even paying attention but on his original story for other people to view he never posts her. So that just makes me question his actions a bit.

If he's been with her two months don't you think he's kind of past that? Has he ever tried to make you jealous be over?

*jealous before

That’s true, he could be by now. But there are a few times over the past 4 years where I feel like he might have been trying to but who knows I guess. I feel like when I stop paying attention to him it bothers him though because I’ve done it in the past and he will post more or unfriend me for a while.

Oh boy, stop overthinking and looking for clues in social media and don't worry about what he is doing.

You’re so right. I needed to hear that lol.
