Cute shenanigans.

Have you ever (subconsciously or purposely) attempted to make the person you're interested in jealous? Whether it was to judge if or how much they were interested in you, to test their temper, understand boundaries, or simply push them over the edge to generate a reaction?

Nope, as a gem I don't like negative emotions so jealousy is the last thing I would think of, if at all. Our flirting is to make people happy not the reverse. So yeah, I don't do jealousy very well as I'm pretty good at walking away rather than engaging in that kind of drama. But if you were to try and make me jealous, I probably would be unless I figure out what you're doing. However you still won't get the reaction that you want. Ciao....for now, lol.

Unfortunately GC, I guess that is pretty true. I asked out of my recent curious experiences. I know I did it when I was younger, it got old after it backfired enough. &Haha, he's not so upbeat. I thought he was a cancer or taurus at first. Always so brooding and dark humored. That's good you avoid the drama though geme, it tends to only bring bad vibes to the table for both parties.

I wondered. It's a friend of mine who acts oddly. But I noticed he starts leaning back on jealousy only if I start to pay less attention to him. If I'm focused on him, he's just as focused.

It has probably happened at some point, but I don't remember it. It's not something I would normally do. These days, I expend a lot of energy try NOT to make my partner jealous (Scorpio).

Yes. I do it. I know it's mean but I kind of like it. If they get jealouse, it means that they care. I dont like cold hearted bastards 🙂

I may do that if my guy is flirting with another girl...but I try to ignore him just in case he is testing me. Wow I am so immature ...we are so immature.

Haha but it happens! All of us have some immaturity. And a lot of jealousy is ruled by impulse. It just depends on how far you push it.... when you ask me out on a date, demand I show up to a party, then hang on another girl all night while checking up on me to see how I react? My spite shoots out the roof. Quietly. I learned it backfired on him though. See what I said! Be careful.

I have a sagittarius friend who openly admitted to testing my jealousy just because they thought my temper was "sexy". Ugh. But at least they admit to it. Little games are fine. Wars are bad.

These manipulation techniques in making someone jealous are not cute, as your thread title suggests.

No, they're positively adorable. In a "you're so cute I could shove you through a woodchipper and snuggle the pieces" kind of way. Catch the sarcasm?

Lol!!!!

I've seen soooo many others do this and it backfires Every. Single. Time.! I'm great at learning from other's mistakes. So, no, I have never done this. I like having an honest relationship built on respect for one another. That kind of behavior is not honest, nor respectful....

Psssh. This is serious business forreal. I think the world might come crashing down, even.
