There are a million reasons why a man might want to make a girl jealous, whether it’s his girlfriend, a girl he likes, or – in some cases – a girl he doesn’t know at all. No matter the goal, and no matter the situation, there are dozens of ways you can get a girl’s attention with just a little bit of effort.
In the following article, we’ll discuss how to make her jealous as well as why you might want to in the first place.
The Motivations of Jealousy
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of how to make her jealous, let’s first analyze what your motivations are for wanting to do so. For those that view relationships and dating as a “game,” invoking jealousy in your significant other (SO) or a girl you’re crushing on is just one way you can play your cards.

Situations like this can be frustrating for men, especially if they like the girl back and don’t see any other way to convince her to give them a shot.
So, if you suspect a girl might be in denial about her feelings for you, making her jealous might help her realize where her heart lies. If she displays signs of classic jealous, this will, in turn, let you know that your suspicions were correct.
You Want Her to Miss You
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but jealousy can make that absence a much more exciting experience for both individuals. This is often the case when two people are already in a relationship.
