How to spot when people are trying to make you jealous.
... well go on! How do you?
In my experience, guys can't pull off making a girl jealous. A jealous girl is scary. :P
But it seems to be a technique that women use a lot. But how can you really tell if someone is trying to make you feel jealous or if they are being genuine? Or if someone is BADLY trying to make you jealous and is just causing more problems? I've known a handful of girls who have tried to make guys jealous and have just ended up going too far with it or are genuinely interested in other people when guys think they are just playing hard to get.
So what are the tell-tale signs, would you say? :P -
Re: How to spot when people are trying to make you jealous.
If you're at a club.. You start talking to a couple of girls, you flirt more with one of them, the other will get jealous.
If you're texting a couple of girls just light flirting and fun chit-chat, potentially going to meet up.. More often than not, the girl will only be texting you in this way and she'll focus all her attention on you, so she'll feel jealous if she knows other girls are also getting your attention.
I think guys can make girls jealous very easily. Doing it intentionally is a bit 'off', but if it's just a by-product of your normal actions then it's just natural and you're obviously doing something right.
I know what you mean though, some girls will take great measures to try and make a guy jealous. Outrageous flirting when they know the guy is watching, giving their phone number away to guys they aren't interested in. Not interested in these silly games, and I think you just have to not let it get to you. If the girl knows what she's doing will make you jealous, don't pay her any attention. She'll soon stop messing around.
Tell tale sign of a girl not being interested is when you're the only one to initiate conversation, either by text, facebook, or even coming to say 'hi' if you see her out and about. -

I know guys can make girls Jealous, but I don't know any guys who have deliberately tried to make a girl jealous. Though many girls do try to make guys jealous. What do they actually hope to achieve?
But anyway! I can't ever really tell if a girl is trying to make me jealous or if she genuinely isn't interested and would rather go off with these other guys. In terms of conversation, the three girls who have (either tried to, or just have ended up) making me jealous it was sort of balanced between who engaged in conversation. One girl we spoke 24/7, so it was just expected... another girl I never engage in conversation with her on facebook chat, she always starts convos with me... and same with texting... but in person it takes me going over to her. These were all at different times, btw. Before anyone gets the wrong idea! :P
