Your ex certainly still has feelings for you if your can make him jealous. If he still has feelings for you, he may want to start seeing you again, if they're strong enough. The tips discussed here on making a man jealous have been used by someone successfully many times. Exercise great care using these tactics, though, because if you've misjudged his feelings, you may push him away forever.

Make An Ex Jealous Tip #1

First, don't talk to your ex for a while. This is time-tested, even if it doesn't make sense, but ignoring him for a while can be as effective as taking specific actions designed to make him jealous. What if you're really over him, he might be thinking, or maybe you found another guy? Your goal now is to get him thinking about you, and you can do that best by not talking with him. You cannot follow him all over, or call at all hours of the day and night - that will only annoy him and drive him away. Let some space develop between the two of you before trying the second tip.

Make An Ex Jealous Tip #2

The next tip should be fairly easy - just be happy. Do the things you enjoy doing, even if you're used to doing them with your ex. Most men think that a woman can't have a good time without them. Some of his jealousy will come from realizing that he's no longer the center of your universe. You'll also increase your attractiveness to him because a happy woman is more appealing, more sexy. Are there things you've been wanting to do, but you've been putting off? Things like day trips, or classes? Go ahead and do them! Another thing you can do is get a makeover. You're already attractive, but a makeover will help people see another side of you. After your makeover, you'll be ready for the third step.

Make An Ex Jealous Tip #3

Third, have dinner with him. You've got this happy, positive aura about you, and likely a new makeover as well, and it's time he saw them face-to-face. Remember, it's been a while since the two of you have spoken, even if he's seen you here and there or his friends have told him that your active and happy. Bring him up to date on what you've been up to and make sure he sees how happy you are. We know that he's going to be jealous because you're visibly happy, on top of which you're probably more attractive than he remembers! Let him know that you had a nice evening and that you hope you can stay friends.

Make An Ex Jealous Tip #4

Next, date another man. Do you think that when he finds out you're seeing other men, he just won't care? Of course, if getting back together with your ex is your goal, don't get seriously involved with someone new! Harmless, friendly dates are the key here - avoid the serious, romantic encounters. Your ex will learn about this soon enough - sooner if you share some friends. He'll feel challenged if other men date you, because he'll think that they found something in you that he missed. Now before you embark on tip #5, be certain that you've dated enough to have a man you're comfortable with - you'll need him for tip #5.

Make An Ex Jealous Tip #5

Now this fifth tactic is probably the most successful - when you're going to be attending a function you know your date will also be attending, bring a date. There are all sorts of things, like parties and other celebrations. The key element of this strategy is that he can see you with your date. Just have a good time - a visibly good time. Your ex should be seeing it, and of course have fun casually flirting with your date. This is a situation where you need to exercise caution, though - he may lose his temper. An additional consideration is that you don't want to embarrass your date.

After trying the foregoing tips, I'm confident you can fill your ex with jealousy to the point where he might even want to resume a relationship with you. Jealousy only grows where feelings still exist, of course - but if they do exist, you'll have nurtured them so that they're constantly in his mind and heart. Your actions might push him further away, of course, but that'll happen only if he no longer has any feelings for you. Of course, if he got jealous, that means the feelings are there, and he's thinking of you - a lot. It's up to you now to decide if you want to get back together with him.
