Tips on how to make your man jealous

1/6

Here's how you can go about it

There are times when you think your man is taking you for granted. You have this urge to make him feel a bit jealous and insecure of losing you. Sometimes it gets necessary to do so because a monotonous relationship can very easily fizzle out. To make him jealous, we are not asking you to have an affair with someone else or throw yourself at a cute guy in front of him because that will be the best recipe for disaster. Here are some subtle tips that will work as long as you know how to do it tactfully.

2/6

Take time to return calls

This one is the first rule but equally difficult. Your patience is indeed tested because all you want to do is take his calls, talk to him, listen to his voice with so many butterflies in your stomach. But if you do not want him to take you for granted and want him to be a little jealous, then take your time to pick the call or respond to the text he sent you. Sometimes do not respond at all as this will get him thinking about what has all your attention other than him. He has to realise that you and your attention is not exclusive to him and that you have a life beyond him.

3/6

Have fun with your friends

Other than hanging out just with your love, it is important to spend time with your friends as well. You must make plans to go out with your friends and make that your no call zone unless an emergency arises. Be active on your social media, post fun pictures and randomly send him pictures of you all ready in your best, dolled up for that outing. Let him know that your life does not revolve around him and that you can have fun without him too. This will keep him on his toes.

4/6

Skip a few dates

It is not necessary and sometimes it is important that you let go of some date nights. Being available for someone all the time makes the other take you for granted. To make him jealous, you must skip a few dates with a work excuse or that you already have plans with friends.

5/6

Lie about someone asking you out

If someone else has then it would be great but in case no one has, do cook a story on how this cute or ruggedly handsome guy asked you out. Be smart with the description because remember that you have to beat around the bush and not get entangled in it. This white lie sometimes shakes up even the most confident men.

6/6

Complimenting his male friend

This is cheeky but if you want him to be a bit jealous and pay attention to you then a subtle compliment or two about his best friend or any other close friend will help. It can be a wake up call for him that he needs to get it all together and care for you like he did earlier when you began dating. It will remind him that you cannot be taken for granted.
