How To Make Your Ex Boyfriend Jealous

What does this mean really?

According to experts, when you are trying to make your ex jealous, it gets very complicated fast. You need to first start by showing him and the world that you just don’t need him at all to be happy.

We all know that guys have egos and you better not stroke it. Smack it instead.

Now it’s time for you. Do what you like and open the door to new opportunity for you. Take advantage of only having to answer to yourself and not your boyfriend.

If you are serious about making your ex jealous, the number one move you can do, no matter how hard, is to show him you don’t need him and you are free and happy.

Just do it please. Pinky swear promise, you’ll be happy you did.

Pointer Two – Make A Point Of Pampering Yourself

Hands down one of the worst things about a breakup is feeling crappy about yourself. Please understand that’s normal.

One way to overcome this inevitable feeling is to pamper yourself until you feel good about yourself. Work on building your self-esteem and your ex will have no choice but to be jealous.

When you breakup with someone, you are forced to question your self-worth and whether or not it was all your fault. Stop it please.

You are better and you deserve; and that’s all you need to know to make your ex crazy jealous.

When you get hurt of course, you want to hurt the person back. In this case, it’s your ex boy-toy.

VIP – Take action to take care of yourself and the hurt will shrink.

If you want to go for the spa for a day to feel better, go for it!

If a shopping spree will help you feel better, give yourself permission to do so.

Focus on treating yourself to things that make you happy and you will make him jealous.

Pointer Three – Go After Your Dreams – Don’t Be Afraid

We all seem to lose what we want because we are in a relationship. The worst thing you can do is stop chasing your dreams.

When you want a man to be jealous, you need to show him you are chasing your dreams – End of story.

If you want to successfully make your man jealous, you need to make your dreams real. You need to show him that you are going to make them come true.

Make your bucket list and start making it happen and I guarantee you will make your ex jealous. No questions asked.

Pointer Four – Get The Beep Out Of There

No doubt you sensed it was coming so please don’t act surprised. Your ex will go nuts if he can see that you are actually back out in the real world without him.

What you need to do asap is find a man that is going to scoop you up fast so your ex can see.

What’s this going to do?

Well, it’s going to make him question why he dumped you in the first place.

No doubt your ex is going to be crazy mad that you are out seeing other people. Too bad, that’s his issue. You have every right to get back out there and find the man of your dreams. Which of course is a trial and error process.

If he doesn’t like that, he better take action to change it.

When he actually sees with his own two eyes that other men find you desirable, that’s going to make him jealous. Every guy wants what he doesn’t have. And worse for him, he did have you not long ago.

So get out there and make new friends and most definitely don’t be afraid to have some fun with other men. Particularly if you want to make him crazy jealous.

Pointer Five – Set Up An “Accidental” Bump Into

Make sure you wait for at least a month before you try this tactic. After a month has past, it’s time for you to find a way to get face to face with your ex. If you seriously want to feel his jealousy, you’ve got to do this.

This is where you can use your trusted mutual friends to help you out. For a no pressure run-in, you might want to meet him at a party or club. Where lots of other people are around and it’s pretty hard for him to pin this on you. Not that it really matters at this point.

If he seriously doesn’t still have feelings for you, he just won’t care.

Keep in mind, you might have to do a little digging to make this one happen, particularly if his social calendar is bland. Don’t go crazy, just make it happy and bask in the glory of his jealous response.

No matter what you do, just don’t fall into the trap of crying about your ex when you could be out there snatching up another super great man. Yes, it hurts to get dumped but it’s time for you to take the bull by the horns and get over it fast.

Pointer Six – Just Ignore

I’m not gonna lie, the silent treatment has been around forever and it works.  Don’t give in and answer his drunken wee hour of the morning texts or calls. And don’t you dare reply to his emails or set up to meet him just because.

It was his choice to end things so he gets to live with the consequences. One of which is not having access to you! So get that into your brain right now please.

I just have to say this but absolutely no booty calls either!

Pointer Seven – Selfies Via Snapchat

This social media vehicle is a brilliant route to shout out to your ex boyfriend that you are active and happy in life without him.

Plaster your account with happy selfies and you will drive him crazy jealous. Make sure you include your friends and all sorts of different outing adventures. And whatever you do, just don’t ever check out his profile because he might be doing the exact same thing.

You just can’t care about that. Mind over matter please.

I promise you that your ex is going to feel super low that your life is so exciting and alive and he couldn’t step up to the plate. Too bad loser is all you have to think.

Pointer Eight – Slowly Reply

At some point, it’s in your best interest to stop ignoring him if you want to make him jealous. Sure, you may have to be the one to bait the hook but that’s no problem.

One of the best vehicles to use for this is texting. Send him a casual text about sometimes missing him. Or maybe you both love the same movie and you can just tell him you’re watching it and thinking of old times.

All you’re trying to do is gently kick him out at the knees again just before he’s ready to move past you. This is going to stir up questions and feelings and it will make him miss you.

Pointer Nine – Another Angle When You Bump Into Each Other

First things first, just act like you hardly know him. And if you toss in a compliment, you will make him boiling mad jealous. Make it short and sweet and when you are walking away confident and smiling, he will hit the roof.

His buddies will see what a doorknob he is and he’s going to kick himself in the butt for letting you go.

Don’t forget, as you are walking away, glance back at him once but don’t gloat, just look at him. That will do him in for sure.

Pointer Ten – Thumbs Up To Hanging Out On Occasion

After giving it at least a month, it really is okay for you to hang out with him sometimes. If you happen to go over to his house that you know very well, pretend you don’t know it and you are visiting there for the first time.

Don’t just walk right in. Knock and wait at the door for him to let you in. That will drive him crazy jealous.

Gently remind him that you are just a guest right now and don’t want to overstep the boundaries.

Keep your meet clean and don’t be afraid to text with your friends while he is talking. You don’t have to give him your undivided attention anymore. Please remember that.

Pointer Eleven – Play The Friend/Family Card

There will come a time when you run into his family and circle of friends when he isn’t around. This is where you need to step up to the plate and be very friendly. Compliment then and tell them how much you’ve missed seeing them.

Plant it all positive in their brains and you’re on the right track. I can pretty much guarantee he will talk with them soon and he’s not going to be happy about you being happy.

Pointer Twelve – Put Your Jealous Card Away

It’s a two way street when you are focused on making your ex boyfriend jealous. So when you happen to run into your ex with his new girl toy, you can’t act one bit jealous.

Make sure you tell yourself she’s just a rebound and doesn’t mean anything to him. Never ever let this jealous card he’s played work. This one is totally up to you.

Pointer Thirteen – Don’t Be Afraid To Play Hard Ball

This one is a little bit nasty but so what! He was the one that dumped you so he gets what he deserves.

Try giving him a call to meet up for a coffee or something just to catch up and simply don’t show up. This is going to leave him feeling angry and bad and it will trigger the jealousy feeling.

You can also get flirty when you happen to be hanging out with some new hotties, preferably in sight of him. Make sure he sees you have moved on and it’s the visual that’s got the most impact – Don’t forget.

There’s no need to be nice here so don’t.

Pointer Fourteen – Get A Little Flirty With Him

Now I said a “little” flirty. If you get too carried away, you might wind up regretting it.

Connect with him on a surface level casually. So make sure he sees you once in awhile and is up to date on your social profiles. The information from social media between exes is enough to drive anybody jealous.

Now if you decide to sleep with him in an emotionally controlled fashion, make sure you leave something behind for him. This will be a reminder of what he has no more and that will drive him crazy.

It really doesn’t matter what it is. Could be your bra, socks, undies, t-shirt, whatever you think will make him regret the most.

Pointer Fifteen – Be Sure He Knows You Are Truly Happy For Him

Chances are he’s got a rebound girl attached at the hip but that’s okay. Tell him repeatedly that you are truly happy for him and wish him the best. Act like you don’t care and that will drive him nuts!

Make sure he also knows you just want to be single for a little while because the relationship stuff was a little too much. This explains why you haven’t got a boy-toy in the picture, at least a seriously one.

Less information is more here.

This move will make him think and chances are it’s going to make him feel stupid and crazy jealous. Can’t hurt to try!

A lot of this depends on how much time you actually spent together. If you were together a few years, you are both obviously very comfortable with each other and this increases the chances he misses you for sure.

However, if your relationship was just bad news time spent together, then the chances of missing and jealousy are obviously lower.

If he broke up with you for all the wrong reasons, he’s totally going to miss you and be jealous that you can let go and move on.

Truth – We all want what we can’t have, regardless of the reasons. This means if he sees you are happy without him, chances are he will be jealous like crazy.

Each relationship has different factors surrounding the breakup and this means you need to look at your own situation and figure out how to make it work in your favor in the jealousy department.

Pointer Sixteen – Give Back

Depending on how long you were together, it’s safe to say that your boyfriend gave you a few gifts. Maybe a necklace or jacket? Perhaps he spoiled you rotten with a whole bunch of presents. Even if he didn’t, I’m sure there are a few things he’s left at your place over the course of your relationship.

Where am I going with this?

If you really want to make him jealous, you should slowly but surely start giving stuff back to him. So if you borrowed a few of his sweatshirts, dishes or whatever, it’s time to make a point of giving them back.

You can just drop them off, give them to him face to face, or you can mail them if you like. The point is every time you do this, you are going to make him think about you and that’s going to drive him nuts.

When you repeatedly do this, you’re showing him you are happily moving on and he’s stuck with thoughts of you.

Nicely done!

Pointer Seventeen – Get Sexier

I’m not saying you aren’t sexy right now because I’m sure you are. And I’m not saying you shouldn’t love you for you as you are, because you should.

However, if you are truly ready to stick it to your ex-boy-toy, you should make a point of getting super sexy physically. This is going to work twofold because it’s going to remind yourself how sexy you really are; and it’s going to make him super jealous.

Not to mention you will become the center of attention around all the boys and that’s a good thing whether you are ready for that or not. Having the option is always good!

So get a personal trainer if you need to and start hitting the gym to make your body super hot. Start watching what you eat within reason and the pounds will start sliding off and with this, your exes jealousy will skyrocket.

This is only the beginning!

Pointer Eighteen – Sneaky But Sweet

This one is a little sneaky but it really does work. In order to create jealousy or just remind your ex that he really is jealous, you can send him text messages on occasion by accident. Ones that he really shouldn’t be reading. Perhaps it’s just a note to a girlfriend talking about this guy Chad that really likes you and you happen to think he’s super cute.

It really doesn’t matter what you send, just make sure it’s pretty vague so your ex can’t put the pieces together. The less he knows, the better but he does need to know a little bit if you’re going to tap into his jealousy.

You can even do this one all alone if you want to set up a couple of fake numbers. It’s easy enough to do with all the apps at our fingertips today.

And if any of this new boy stuff is really true, that’s all the better. I just can’t stress how important it is to not overdo this and to make sure you are extremely vague about the conversations. Just “accidentally” forward him bits and pieces and go from there.

It won’t take long for him to feel like reacting and whether he does or not will show face in time.

Pointer Nineteen – Fake Drunk Call Or Text

This is another surefire route to make your ex boyfriend jealous. Just make sure you aren’t really drunk because things could get out of hand fast.

When you fake drunk contact your ex, you are telling him that he is still in your brain and this is going to trigger memories. And when you make it clear you are just checking in with him to make sure everything is okay, nothing more, he’s going to get a double whammy because he will have to accept the cold hard fact you are past him and happy.

That’s going to make his blood boil.

Mission accomplished!
