How to make your ex jealous: 15 effective ways to get him back –

Whether for simple fun or revenge, the macabre idea of ​​making an ex jealous has crossed our minds at some point. Not necessarily because we want to get back with that person, but because we simply want to inflate our ego a little and, okay, let out a little the villain inside us (or the one they turned us into).

There are strategies to make your ex jealous directly and others indirectly. There are some that work more with one type of people than with others. The truth is that you must be careful with what you are going to put into practice, and be very clear about what your true objective is.

One of the first things you should pay attention to after a breakup is your physical appearance. Don’t even think about neglecting yourself and abandoning yourself in the arms of discouragement and depression! Nothing of that!

The point, however, is not to fall into the obvious and exaggerated game of a radical change of look, because you would precisely be projecting that you want to attract the attention…of your ex. And, of course, we know that’s what you want to do; The golden recommendation is that your physical appearance should improve, but subtly. You can make slight changes to your hair, the way you dress or your makeup. Remember: nothing exaggerated!

The idea is that these subtle changes show a different version of you, which catches eyes, but without it being a very obvious action to attract the attention of your ex and make him jealous.

Once you give that slight twist to your appearance, don’t forget another golden rule: stay very well groomed every day, as if it were a Saturday. Forget about going out there, even if it’s to the supermarket, poorly dressed or disheveled. Always go out dressed to the nines, because you don’t know if around the corner you’ll find the love of your life… or your ex.

Trust us, if he always sees you looking great, his mind will blow and he’ll feel jealous.

This is one of the so-called indirect strategies to make someone jealous (and they are one of the most effective). The issue can be as simple as posting a photo with a new boy who doesn’t belong in your circle of close friends. Well, although if it’s with that friend of yours that your ex was once jealous of, don’t hesitate! Do it immediately, because when he sees it, he will think: “and so many times he denied me that I didn’t feel anything or have anything with him.” He will be very angry… we assure you!

Now, when we tell you to post a photo with this “new conquest” (or that apparently gives that impression), it is not that you are going to do it on your Facebook wall, WhatsApp profile or Instagram “feed”. No! You should do it in such a way that only a small group of specific people have access to it (like your ex, obviously, and mutual friends) and for a limited time; lest the other suitors be scared away by seeing you potentially busy. Okay? To do this, the ideal is that you upload it to the “stories” that last only 24 hours or in the WhatsApp statuses that, for example, you can configure to restrict who sees them and who does not.

Surely throughout the relationship you talked about that place you wanted to see or that trip you wanted to take just for fun. Perhaps the circumstances were not right for them to be able to do it together at that time. But now you have everything in your favor to put those fun plans into motion.

Of course, try to take (and have them take you) the best photos of the adventures, places and moments experienced during that trip that the two of you could have taken, but that now without any consideration you are doing alone or… who knows with whom? ?… because if you went alone, who will be taking such spectacular photos of you?

If you are clever enough, in this indirect jealousy strategy you combine two great techniques that will leave your ex very thoughtful (and above all jealous).

Yes, we know that it is one of the most difficult things you have to do, but it is necessary for many reasons; especially for your mental and emotional health… and, of course, to arouse jealousy or anxiety in your ex.

Making him feel your absence is one of the best ways to make him miss you and wonder what you will be doing, but even more so… who you will be sharing your time with. It is logical that he assumes that you must be very busy with someone and that you no longer feel the need to know about him, because you neither write to him nor call him.

Just as you should not communicate with him through messages or calls, you should also stop following him on all social networks. We return to the fact that you must take care of your mental and emotional health. He’ll notice, believe me. He will know that you have stopped following him, especially on Facebook, since – by deleting him – he obviously cannot have access to your profile either. On other social networks like Instagram or Twitter you can choose to unfollow (if you don’t want to see his posts) or block him (so he doesn’t have access to your information either).

Regardless of the scenario, the trick is not only to “disappear” from their networks, but to strategically drop several “likes” or “harmless” comments on some photos or publications of their friends. Of course, it shouldn’t be something recurring or overwhelming, but you should make sure that your ex sees that you are active on social media. Believe us, this will make him burn with rage and jealousy.

Let’s say your ex moved away or you were in a long-distance relationship (it could also be that you lived in the same city, but in fairly distant neighborhoods). So, another indirect jealousy strategy is to walk around their area of ​​residence and leave evidence of it (because you went with a mutual friend or because you posted a photo on social networks).

Rest assured that he will wonder how come you were so close to him and didn’t even bother to let him know that you were around to at least have a coffee. This, of course, is assuming that their relationship didn’t end so badly.

One of the things your ex will think is that you went there for other reasons, perhaps also sentimental ones and not for him, which will make him a little jealous.

Once again we have to resort to indirect jealousy strategies and using our best allies: social networks. There is a key aspect when a relationship ends and that is that the other person, consciously or unconsciously, will expect that we are bad or at least that we are not having a good time.

Well, precisely to awaken their jealousy, there is nothing better than showing the world (and that ex) that we are better than ever. So don’t miss the opportunity to upload the most spectacular photos on your social networks and, furthermore, in which you can see that you are having a great time.

Of course: don’t make your social networks (after the breakup) the center of your life either. Be selective when posting images; It could be the one where you wear a beautiful dress at your cousin’s wedding; or the one where you have the most fun at your best friend’s party. But it is very important that you do not go overboard (one or two photos at most), because you can project the opposite of the effect you want to achieve.

Life goes on. Always! A breakup is not the end of your love life. So don’t hesitate to go out on whatever dates you want. Of course: don’t be posting your outfit every time you go out to meet a potential boyfriend.

The idea is that you are the one who feels good and satisfied about going out with whoever you want to make room for a potential relationship. Believe us, your ex’s sixth sense will only lead him to sniff out that you are dating someone and that, upon confirming it, will make him very upset.

Don’t skimp on quotes. The more, the better. Not only for you and your well-being, but because there will be a greater chance that your ex will find out for himself that you are already “hanging out” with someone else.

LinkedIn almost always notifies us when someone in our network of contacts has updated their work profile. So, well, we assume that you and your ex are connected through this page, so if you make any modification to your profile, he will immediately receive an email notifying him of the news.

So, don’t waste any more time and add all the new information you have at the level of professional and work training on LinkedIn so that your ex sees that, indeed, you continued with your life, with your plans and goals without him. That you are prioritizing your professional fulfillment and that you didn’t need it to advance.

Many times when we get into a relationship some of our personal priorities change, especially when we give more importance to “feelings” than to our life goals. Our partner at that moment may not support us or encourage us to achieve our goals and dreams.

So, it is necessary that once you are alone you return to everything that you always wanted to do and that when you were with him – for whatever reason – you did not do: study another career, dedicate yourself to an NGO, start your own business… etc.

Once again, the indirect message you are sending to your ex is that life goes on without him. That independence and self-realization makes more than one angry and jealous.

One of the most effective ways to make your ex jealous is, precisely, by forgetting about him and not being present in his life. To do this, you must be busy. But busy with things that you are really passionate about.

It’s not that you’re going to randomly start cleaning or tidying up the house in a neurotic way. They have to be activities that you sustain in the long term and that are for your benefit and satisfaction; For example, sign up for swimming, yoga, or tai chi. Dedicate yourself to that favorite pastime, such as reading, going to the movies or the theater. Organize meetings at your house that go beyond eating and drinking, they can be weekly evenings of conviviality with your friends in which you dedicate yourself to playing monopoly, chess, scrabble, cards, among others.

You can go for something more risky and sign up for a diving course or attend paragliding activities once a month. The idea is that you do things that fulfill you, excite you and occupy quality time in your life, that prevent you from thinking about him more than necessary and, therefore, so that you are not tempted to write or call him.

Yes, we know that it is difficult for you to have to continue living with those mutual friends, especially because it is likely that you met the person who is now your ex through one of them; but it is necessary if you want to make him jealous. The idea is that they are the messengers of information: that you are very well and enjoying life… without him; that you don’t need it to be happy.

A common, but very immature and childish, attitude is to be rude or unkind to your ex. Remember that behavior like this only indicates that you are hurt and, if you want to be jealous, then that is not exactly what you need to project.

So the recommendation is that you act in a very normal way, as if they were acquaintances or even friends. The idea is to project that you have NOT been affected by the separation. Oh, yes: don’t be overly friendly, lest he think you’re looking for him back.

The strategy is one and simple: be pleasant and assertive, without being saccharine. May you feel relaxed and normal. Like you were dealing with one of the crowd. Trust us, this will baffle you and make you grind your teeth.

Let’s be honest: if we want…
