Is He Trying To Make Me Jealous?

Is He Trying To Make Me Jealous?

It appears to me that you like this guy or maybe you just don’t know your feelings yet. It’s okay. Give it some time and I’m sure you’ll find out. But the reason why you’re here is probably because there’s this guy who’s acting all strange with you. One day he’s acting cool with you, and then the next day, he’s the total opposite. Sometimes when we get jealous of someone it’s most likely because we are attached to them way too much to even admit it. Just think about it. If you were to remove that attachment, that feeling of jealousy won’t even be there because you probably won’t care. But still, feelings do come up and guys tend to play games. So, let’s talk about these 10 behaviors to help you answer your question, “Is he trying to make me jealous?” By the way, these are all hypothetical situations; they might not apply to you. If you have a specific question, I’ll get back to you on the comment section.

1. He flirts with others when you’re around

Okay we’re going to have to give him the benefit of the doubt here that he’s just talking to other people and not flirting. Because you know guys aren’t going to admit they are flirting with others when you confront them. But there are ways to know if he’s trying to make you jealous. If he’s using his soft voice, whispering, and sweet-talking to others and he knows you’re around, then yes, he probably has some intentions. So be careful. But if you’re standing there and he’s being loud and proud, then he’s probably just hanging out having a normal conversation, which is totally fine.

2. He talks about his past relationships

This is such a turn off in new relationships, but I have to talk about it because it often comes up. If he’s constantly talking about his exes and how great they use to be, then yeah… he’s probably still attached to his past relationship and hasn’t really moved on. But if it seems like he has moved on from his past relationship and instead uses this topic more as of getting to know you, then it’s totally fine, he might try to see if you get a little jealous because he’s been through a lot of relationship, but then again he’s probably not flexing and could just being honest with you, so you can be honest with him. Who knows.

3. He talks about other hot people with you

Now this one might be tricky. If he’s doing this here and there, he’s probably just testing you and seeing how you react, therefore trying to make you jealous but hiding it. But if he’s constantly talking about how so and so is good looking and putting others on a pedestal and fantasizing about them, then it’s pretty obvious that he’s not into you so there’s no reason to make you jealous.

4. Rumor has it that he likes someone else

Rumors are rumors and it can’t always be trusted. Now your best bet is to go directly to him and just talk to him about it so you can get your answer upfront. Sometimes rumors like these can backfire. If he was the one who initially planted the rumor and tried to make you jealous, it could backfire and you could’ve just lost interest in him. Or maybe the rumor could be true and it’s just a sign for you to move on. I know it’s tough, don’t worry, I’m still here.

5. He’s hanging out with others and posting it on social media

Now if you know this guy and he knows you and you both have been talking for a while, then all of a sudden you see him posting stuff about a party he went to and to top it off, he includes three other girls in it. You might just flip out. But wait, like com’on could he really get those three girls if he had tried? Most likely posting things like that on social media is probably just to flex and make it seem like he has an interesting life. Plus, I don’t think you can fight all 3 girls, but if you only see him with one girl in the photos, then you should maybe consider re-evaluating everything about him.

6. He hypes you up but lets you down

Just from the heading alone, I’m going to say, yes, he’s trying to make you jealous, but in some cases, he might have other intentions. The reason why is because he’s actually putting the work and time to hype you up. And you know it’s all fake when he ends up letting you down. For example, he says, “Hey, you should go to the event with us, you and I would have a fun time!” And when that day comes along, he bails out on you the last minute. Wow thanks for getting my hopes up.

7. He pretends to be popular

If he has to pretend, then you know he’s trying to make you jealous. Talking on phone and acting like he’s busy but in reality, he’s just talking to his parents. Posting on social media and getting a lot of likes and followers, but in reality, he’s just buying them. Or even better, he pretending to be hanging out all the time with his friend acting busy, but in reality, he’s just probably gaming inside his room.

8. He’s asking a lot of hypothetical questions

So, there are questions out there that could make you feel jealous if he knows how to ask them. For example, “Hey, I’m studying with Michelle tomorrow, is that cool?” or “What do you think, if I go hang out with Ashley next week?” If that’s the case, then yes, he’s trying to make you jealous because why even bother asking them.

9. He’s being nice to others and not you

Okay, he’s just straight up being rude at this point. I mean to some extent, it could be consider teasing, but still. If you notice he’s a little fake on his end, then you could probably say he’s just trying to make you jealous. But if he’s always rude and mean to you, then it’s time to step away and just not deal with him, it’s not worth it.

10. He craves for your attention

So, this right here is going to cover most of the things that I didn’t talk about. If he’s constantly around you, annoying you, or acting weird around you, then he’s going to do whatever it takes to get your attention and try to get you to notice him. He’s probably feeling a little insecure, lonely, or maybe sad because he’s probably out of your league. I know it’s crazy how some people act, but it’s true. Therefore, to some extent, he’s probably trying to make you jealous to get that attention from you.

Overall, don’t stress out too much about whether he’s trying to make you jealous or not. If he’s constantly doing these things to you or making you even question about your loyalty, then any relationship you might have with him in the future is probably not going to be healthy. Best bet is to just disconnect from him, focus on yourself and take a sip of coffee while you smash that like button. Or you can just talk to him… Hope you found this to be helpful.
