Making Your Ex Jealous - How To Get Back Your Boyfriend

One of the fastest ways to get his attention after a break up is to make your ex jealous. The best time to do this? Right after you break up, when your ex is really keeping an eye on you. You might think he's done with your relationship and has moved on to greener pastures, but your ex is actually keeping tabs on how you handle the end of your relationship. He wants to see you depressed that you're no longer with him: it shows him he's still loved, and gives him that ego boost he's looking for.

There are a lot of ways to breed jealousy within your ex-boyfriend's mind. But before you do, you should be warned that this course of action can sometimes be dangerous. Using jealousy as a tool to pry your way back into a relationship that your ex really doesn't want is only going to lead to a second break up. You can't wield it like a sword, swinging around without damaging any future relationship you might have with him. Remember, your ultimate goal is to get your ex boyfriend back... not hurt him so badly he can't forgive or forget what you did.

Making your ex want you back is the one big key to getting back together. Making your ex boyfriend jealous can speed this process along, but you need to use caution. The following methods can be used to plant seeds of jealousy, but keep in mind that you don't want to play any major games with your ex. Mind games, head games, or any kind of manipulation of your ex's emotions will cause resentment that you'll have to deal with later on.

Method One: Kicking Your Break Up To The Curb - This first technique is actually the best. It involves stepping over your break up as if it never occurred, and moving on with your life immediately. Right after your ex breaks up with you, don't fight him on it. In fact, agree with him and walk away smiling. When your ex boyfriend wakes up the next day and sees you laughing, smiling, and having a great time with friends, he's going to wonder how you could get over the break up so quickly. Really go all-out here, and actually put your ex completely out of your head. The more fun you have, and the more visual it is, the more will get back to him. Your ex may even call or try to contact you. Don't answer. Similarly, don't email, text, or call your ex. Toss your phone over your shoulder and party as if you've been freed from prison.

This method, if done right, will blow your ex-boyfriend completely away. Your reaction will be the complete opposite of what he expected: instead of sitting home in tears, you're out with friends having a fantastic time. More importantly, a fantastic time without him. Seeing this will immediately make your ex jealous. Not only that, but he'll actually start questioning his decision to break up with you. Maybe you're better off than he thought you were? Maybe he needed you a lot more than you needed him? By taking control of your break up you've turned the tables on him, reversing the entire scenario in his eyes. And as you continue to go out and have fun, without having to answer to your exboyfriend about anything you're doing? He's going to go out of his mind with jealousy.

Method Two: Creating a Group Dynamic - Going out with your girlfriends is definitely a good way to get over a break up, but it's not going to do the job of making your boyfriend jealous. But turn those girlfriends into a group of guys and girls? That type of scenario will play out lots of different ways in your ex-boyfriend's head. Most men know the deal: groups of people involving both sexes invariably turn into some people hooking up with others. Your ex will wonder who you're going to meet, or worse, who's going to try and meet you. This will bother him a lot more than he thinks it will, and seeing or hearing about it is going to drive your ex boyfriend nuts.

Gathering together and going out with a large group of friends is a great way of getting your ex's immediately attention. Try to accomplish it in a way that will eventually get back to your ex boyfriend. This might requiring including some mutual friends (between you and him), so be on your best behavior if this is the case. Remember: you want to win back your boyfriend, and you want him to love you again. Doing something you might regret could drive a wedge between you, causing any future relationship you'd build together to come crumbling down.

Method Three: Using Another Guy To Make Your Ex Jealous - This third technique is the most dangerous, but it's also going to cause the most jealousy. Your ex has broken up with you, meaning you're free to see and date whomever you like. That's all well and good, and he can't do or say anything to stop you (and don't let him guilt you into not seeing anyone else during the break up, either!) However, you also don't want to push your ex past the point of jealousy to a situation where he doesn't even want you anymore. This means you can talk, flirt, and have fun with other guys - but you can't really start dating them unless you're prepared for the aftermath. Although it doesn't seem fair, your ex might not want you back if you started another relationship. This is the way some guys are, so be prepared for that.

All other things considered, there's nothing wrong with letting your ex see that he suddenly has some competition. Knowing someone else is interested in you will always get your ex boyfriend's immediate attention. He'll be jealous of anything you do with this new guy, even though he broke up with you. Seeing an ex girlfriend move on before you yourself get the chance to move on is every guy's worst nightmare. He'd much rather you hung around the house mourning the end of your relationship, not moving on until he himself finds another girl to date. Instead, you're showing him the opposite scenario. He'll go out of his mind because he's not allowed to control you or tell you what you can and cannot do... but as your boyfriend (even though he's your ex-boyfriend) he'll want to. So if there's any love left in his heart, dating or seeing another guy may be a good way to make him realize it.

Do NOT attempt to date your ex's friends. This is always a bad move. Your ex will resent you for driving a wedge between him and whatever friend you're seeing, and he'll pile on the additional anger he has at his friend's betrayal. And hey, wasn't the whole point of this to get your ex boyfriend back? So what happens when you do get him... and he still stays friends with this guy? Now all three of you are in a very awkward position that can't ever be fixed. Avoiding it from the beginning is the only way to make it right.
