To say relationships are tough to handle at times is an understatement, particularly if you are with someone, who’s not quite ready to make changes for you. Oodles of women don’t get the love and respect they deserve from their partners simply because they are too giving.
Relationships are give and take, and if you’re doing all the giving and he’s doing all the taking, somethings have to change.
These pointers will make him think of the consequences of losing one of the best things that has ever happened to him.
How To Make A Guy Realize He’s Losing You
Pointer One – Stop Being Available
It sucks when a man is taking you for granted. If this is the case, you can give him a subtle dose of his own medicine by making sure you aren’t around when he needs you. Back off when it comes to telling him about the details of your life. Make him guess where you are and what you are up to.
Don’t back off with this tactic too quickly because it won’t be effective. You need to stick with it long enough, so he realizes something is wrong and he’s forced to figure out what it is. This should make him try harder to make your relationship and life better.
Pointer Two – Mention Plans Down The Road Without Him
Talk about an in-your-face pointer. If you let him know you are going away with friends for the weekend and you’ll be back Monday, he’s going to ask himself why you are going away with them and not him.
Maybe you want to tell him you are going out with work friends, guys and gals, and you don’t plan on coming home because you are just going to crash at a friend’s place. The vaguer you are, the better.
This will make him worried about what you will be up to because drinking and distance are never a good combination.
No doubt, this could be a nice slap in the face that he needs to change his actions pronto, or you will be gone for good.
Pointer Three – Relax With The Replies
Men don’t like clingy gals; there’s no question about that. If you really want to make him stir, chill on replying to his messages. Make him wait for you to reply; that will make him worry.
This will make him realize he’s got to go the extra mile if he’s going to get your attention. Keep doing this until you see your relationship improve. If it doesn’t, then you’ve got your red-hot signal to kick him and move on to a man that really wants you and is willing to show you every day.
Pointer Four – Show Him A Few Bedroom Moves
You want to make him wonder where the heck you learned the new moves in the bedroom. This is going to send his brain wandering into uncharted territory. All you’ve got to do is make him think for just a few minutes that you might be with another man and that will shout loud and clear that he just might be losing you.
If he loves you, he will jump on the bandwagon to start making changes for the better quickly.
Pointer Five – Treat Yourself Nicely
When you take the extra steps to take care of yourself, you are going to make him worry about losing you. Perhaps you want to hit the gym and lose a few pounds, go for a lingerie shopping spree, or hit the spa for a full body makeover. It doesn’t matter as long as you let him know the focus is solely on you.
Guaranteed, this will make him fret about losing you.
Pointer Six – Get Flirty So He Can See
This one takes a lot of guts, but it works. If you are serious about making your man worry, you need to step it up a notch or two when you get near a hot man. Just make sure your guy sees you in action. It could be a shy smile or that longer than normal glance. Do whatever it takes to let him know he’s not the only guy on your mind.
It’s even better if a cute guy asks to buy you a drink or, better yet, buys you one without asking. Guys really hate it when another man seems to be in the picture. Guess it has something to do with survival of the fittest. Guys just don’t like losing, especially to another guy.
Pointer Seven – Back Off With The Clingy Crap
Truth…You don’t give your guy a chance to miss you if you are always hanging all over him. That’s really doing nothing for you. If you want your guy to worry about losing you, you need to let him know you are independent and you don’t really need him.
When your guy sees you are stronger than he thought, he will realize he better shape up or he might lose you.
Pointer Eight – Back Far Away
This is a tough one, but if you want to make your guy worry about losing you, it’s important to make sure you are vague more often than not. Sometimes, a girl’s got to be a little wicked!
If your man isn’t paying enough attention to you or he’s acting rudely, you are best to start being a little distant with him. When you do this, you force him to wonder what you are up to and where you are.
When he finally decides to ask you if everything is ok, just play it cool and tell him everything is fine.
Don’t stop what you are doing and do not give him any of your attention. If he can’t figure this one out, he’s definitely got some issues. Put the ball in his court to take action to make things right. If he’s not interested in doing something, then it’s time to kick his sorry butt to the curb.
Pointer Nine – Do Not Be A Pleaser
Many women just want to please their man. That’s a great trait in a healthy and happy relationship. However, when you want to make him realize he’s losing you, it’s important you don’t give him everything.
That just stifles change and reiterates the message you are happy and everything is fine.
Stop trying to please him all the time, and he will start thinking something is wrong. Wow, a breakthrough moment.
Make sure he’s not first for you simply because he doesn’t deserve that. If you let him take advantage of you, he will. Never forget that.
Try being a bit of a demanding bitch and see what happens. He will see you are serious and change his tune pronto. The tables will turn, and he will do everything in his power to make you smile, and that’s exactly what you deserve.
Pointer Ten – Hang With Your Own Crowd
Too often in relationships, you wind up hanging out with friends you have in common, not ones that are only special to you. That’s a huge mistake in the big picture.
As a couple, you are already sharing a lot. Leaving a little to the imagination is a fabulous thing. You do not need to share your friends with him. If some of your friends are men, even better!
The purpose is to make him worry about who you are with and what you are doing. This move will show your man he better not hurt you, but he should appreciate you and go out of his way to make you happy.
It takes dual sided sacrifice to make a relationship stick, and it’s time to make him step up to the plate.
Pointer Eleven – Show Your Independence
When you show your man you are a strong, independent woman, he’s going to see you with envy in his eyes. Men really do like a girl who knows how to take care of herself.
If you are clingy and needy, he is going to run right over you. Make sure he knows you don’t need a man to make you happy. With this attitude, you will make him think twice about who you are and what you mean to him. And if he’s got any brains, he will scoop you up and work to prove to you he will help take care of you and love you, only you.
Pointer Twelve – Get Sexy
Sex makes guys go crazy in more ways than one. When you make sure you are looking sexy hot, you are making him want you, and he will do whatever it takes to get your undivided attention.
If you get all dolled up, the first thoughts that will fly through his mind are that you are doing this for another man. That will be enough to make him start worrying about how much he’s been neglecting you in this relationship and how much more you deserve.
Hopefully, you will see an immediate change in his behavior, and that should steer your relationship back on track if that’s what you still want.
Pointer Thirteen – Just Be You
Make certain you don’t fall into the trap of letting him treat you like you don’t deserve anything. You do, and you should get this respect by just being yourself.
Your guy doesn’t control you, and there’s no doubt you should have the confidence to make the decisions YOU want, not just what you think he wants.
Let him know you aren’t easy to please but do it in a warm manner. If you are too standoffish, he might start seeing you in a negative light, and that’s not what you want.
Show him what you have to offer and that any man would want you just because you are you. He needs to think, see, and feel there is no other you, and that will make him try even harder to make sure he doesn’t lose you. Making him worry is a good thing.
Pointer Fourteen – Don’t Accept Number Two
Bustle relationship experts say you should never accept your man treating you like you’re number two. If he makes plans with his friends and they skip out on him, you’ve got to make sure you aren’t available to fill the void.
Making him worry about losing you isn’t hard if you are willing to use a few innocent tricks.
If he knows you are always available for him, he’s not going to appreciate you for you and just assume you have nothing better to do than please him. It’s important you get the upper hand and don’t let go.
Don’t let him take you for granted. Believe in yourself and what you want and never let him make you settle for less than you deserve.
Pointer Fifteen – Use Social Media To Show You Are Having Fun!
Social media is both good and bad in relationships. In this instance, you can use your Facebook or Instagram account, which of course he’s following, to show yourself having fun.
This is especially effective when he’s not in the picture. This will help you show the world that he is not the most important person in your life, and that will make him want you more.
Hopefully, he realizes he wants to be that man, and he’s going to start acting on that want right now.
If he is always overanalyzing things, this tactic should work wonderfully.
Be consistent in your posts and make sure you show him you are having fun doing different things with a wide variety of friends. Boys, in general, don’t ponder emotional romance as much as we do, and from time to time, you need to remind him to wake up and get to work to prove himself to you.
Pointer Sixteen – Back Off Being Interested In His Life Stories
A surefire way to make him worry is to make sure he knows you aren’t as interested in him as you once were. Make him realize you have much better things to do than to listen to what he has to say. This may seem a little harsh, but sometimes, the answer is tough love.
You can try texting someone when he’s in the middle of a story; that will make him wonder what’s so important that you can’t listen attentively to what he has to say.
Using these pointers at the right time will give him the signal that, if he isn’t already worrying about losing you, he better start right now.
Here are a few pointers to help you make your ex regret losing you
Tip One – The Zero Contact Rule
No matter what, you can’t act like a doormat and contact your ex after a breakup. He’s your ex for a reason. All that will do is show you are needy, and that will make him see you really do need him, which of course, you don’t.
Tip Two – Block His Number For Good!
This is another step you’ve got to take to show your ex that you never want him in your life again. This is a tough step, particularly if you’ve been together a long time, but don’t kid yourself; it’s necessary.
Tip Three – Change Your Life Positively
This is another step to show him you are moving forward for the better. After a breakup, it’s time for positive change, and this needs to happen pronto after a fresh breakup. Maybe you want to lose weight and start hitting the gym? Perhaps you want to take a vacation or move to another city?
Reflect positively on the doors that have just opened. Mind over matter is a positive thing. Dressing sexy, getting your hair and nails done, and making sure you always look like a zillion bucks won’t hurt either.
Give it a shot!
Tip Four – Make Your Life Overloaded With Fun!
To make your ex regret losing you, it’s important that you step outside your comfort zone and spice up your life with oodles of fun. You can find a new circle of friends to help you focus on what’s important in your life, not the crap of the past.
When your ex sees you are super happy, he will have no choice but to accept defeat and the fact he lost the best thing that ever happened to him.
Tip Five – Focus On Making Him Crazy Jealous
This move just feels good. I’m not going to say it’s nice, but neither is he or this never would have happened. Show him via social media that you are happy and healthy and moving on to bigger and better things.
Tip Six – Make Sure His Friends Know You Are Happy – For Real
It’s important you tread carefully here because, if you don’t, it can backfire. It doesn’t hurt to reach out and touch his close friends now and again. Show them you are very happy in life and don’t say a word about your ex.
This might get a bit emotional, and you need to make sure that doesn’t happen. Don’t ask anything about how your ex is doing. That’s an excellent route to pass the message to him that you don’t need or want him…ever!
Tip Seven – Shine With Confidence
You may need to practice this one a little, but by showing your ex you are incredibly confident and secure, he will have no choice but to get sad about losing you.
Tip Eight – Get Rid Of The Bitter Card
No matter what, you don’t want to fight with your ex about the past. If you are truly focused on making your ex regret losing you, then you need to keep everything light if you ever communicate.
When he knows you really don’t care and you’ve let all the anger go, he’s going to see just how amazing you are. How can that not make him regret that you’re gone?
Tip Nine – Give Him A Card
This one doesn’t always work, but if you send him a nice postcard of you having fun, perhaps sipping drinks on the beach, he’s going to feel super bad about hurting you. A woman has to do what a woman has to do!

Carol Charles says
I really needed these tips as I realized that my guy was taking me for granted and behaving like he doesn’t care anymore, so I used tips 1, 3 and 8 under: How to make a guy realize he’s losing you. I sent him a loving message about how much I love him and wants to be with him forever but I am not sure if he still feels the same way about me as he is acting differently. his response was that he loves me but is going through some rough patches in his life right now. So I told him: “Then I’ll give you your space to sort out yourself…bye…all the best by the way…”
He was quick to realize whats happening. In less that 1 minute he responded if I am gone and sent a love message to me…I never responded though. All this happened an hour ago. Within 30 minutes of me telling him that I’ll give him his space, he sent a love message like he used to do
So I know it is too early to tell if things are going to work out but I believe they will
Cheddar says

I love him but I broke up with him but now we re back and yet no changes.. I will go with those tips and see aw it goes…
Grace says
My boyfriend is making me feel unloved and he’s losing me. I wasn’t sure how I would make him see it himself. I used some of these and learned he doesn’t care. I told him we needed a break and that was a huge wake-up call for him. He instantly tried his hardest to get me back. It’s gonna take a lot more than that but, at least now he knows, he’s going to lose me if he does this again
Bill O Reilly says
This is great lol I love using what woman use to men against them it tends to really work well. The reality of it? We are all the same :)…men just arent as smart and articulate to come up with these kind of tactics. Spy on the enemy! Learn the tactics of the opposing team hehehehehehhehehehe
Enna says
It’s been one year I’m in a relationship with my guy and from the day one it has been very complicated out of 12 months I cried for 9 months and still I am. I cry the whole night and he dosent even care. In the start he used to be very ignorant and after that when I met him I said I’m leaving you he stopped me with his lovey dovey messages and then he changed he never gave me his passwords and we used to had a fight on it and one day I said I’m breaking up with you but then I felt that it did not matter to him anymore and
George says
That guy you are with is a Narcissist. What you just described is crystal clear. You need to cut ties with him and move on asap! I promise that if you stay with him, you will live one excruciatingly miserable life.
Jacki says
Truth to what George says there.
I was married to a narcissist.
It’s been nothing but hell for 15 long years.
I was young and thought I could change him. But all he could do was think about himself. It sounds like your dude is worse off than my husband. The 100% NPD.
my husband would act like he cared for about 3 months and then he would go back to not caring about me nor his family. Yours isn’t afraid to show you that he doesn’t care. Like he’s reeling in a fish 🎣 with a worm only to let you down with closing you up in a canister so he could eat you for lunch. You’re just emotional food for him. Let him go.
Mitzy Speer says
I would have to agree
Cate shiny says
My boyfriend has also been acting like he is not interested in me anymore.Am not sure if he needs space or is it that he is ghosting me.Am willing to try the above tips and hope for the best.Thank You
George says
Cut him loose asap and move on.
Caitlin says
i wish i knew about this tips about a year ago…. it would have really helped me to be a stronger woman in my relationship since there was no one to talk to… he exploited me a lot and dumped me when he was done… lol.. but that’s all gone now. will use these tips with another new person
Staypositive says
Tbh if a guy makes you feel this way, it really doesn’t matter how much you love him he’s no good. He should always treat you right no matter what. Just be single it sucks but fall in love with yourself so when next time u get in a relationship and he treats you like this you’ll have the lady balls to leave his sorry ass because you know your worth! Am I right?
Si says
These points are a sure fire way to make any bloke run for the hills because his girl has turned into a slag! Whoever wrote them needs to really have a look at themselves and the person who employed them for their ‘skills’ needs to re-assess!
Esther wamboka says
Am really thankful …you have helped me with this tips hope my guy wil change
Esther wamboka says
Thank you so much.You have really helped me out hope my guy wil change
George says
How about instead of hoping your guy will change… you dump him instead?
It is much more easier for women to rebound than it is for men.
Helen Tavares says
Novel idea!
Dianne says
If you have go through all these manipulations to get a guy’s attention, you’re with the wrong guy. Why do you want a man you can’t be yourself with? Why do you want a man you have to trick into paying attention to you? Move on!
Tizzy hanz says
wow! nice tips.
VEE says
I have been in a relationship for almost two years now with a guy i truely loved,last year he was pushing me away telling me to go to my parent’s yard he had enough with me..he started telling me painful words & end up beating me,i am his punching bag now…i love him deeply its hard to break up with him.
Helen says
I’ve been where you are twice and the sooner you can cut and run the sooner you’ll heal. I’m very sorry, but get out now
BGee says
I have been in a relationship for almost two years and I am always fighting with this guy about the other girls that he is involved with and claiming to be his friends. He once brought a girl at his place n took pics of her half naked in the same room that we sleep in n it was not only her and claimed not to have done anything with them.He sometimes beats me for asking about those girls. He claims he is not cheating but he would go out and call around 2am drunk and tell me he is sorry.I am now Preg and he continues to do the same thing.I only got to see him today since the 16th n yet he is out again and telling me that I should not worry he is not being unfaithful.We used to talk on the phone a lot n now he tells me we should stop all that because,we gotta give ourselves a break from each other. He no longer cares whether I am doing well or whatever that might be going on with me.He expects me to tell him about my whereabouts and he ensures that he calls every second to know what I am doing and who am I with but,he would even insult me if I did such to him. I’m thinking of doing an abortion and break up with him because I can’t handle it and imagine my baby growing up in this kind of life to experience my pain No I cannot
J says
How is it possible you’re dumb enough to not leave? What’s wrong with you?
Jes says
Its not the baby’s fault. Im in the same place before, but i never thought of abortion. I alwats talked to ny baby bump when i was stress an telling her to be strong too. When i gave birth, i realized i made a good decision. From all the stress and tears she is the only reason who makes me happy and i never feel alone. You dont need a man like this, but i know in future you will meet a guy who will take care of you and your child
Zenee says
Dear writer you are blessed…..these are exactly the tips I need in my life right now. I can The imagine the level of sanity these would actually give 🤩. Thank you for sharing.
Rownak Jahan Nowrin says
Why would you all these steps?? I think its better to break up with the person who doesnt know your worth
