Posted by dramallamaCould just be that he's testing the waters to see if you are the jealous type or not, not necessarily that he's trying to make you feel any kind of way.
Was I right to not react? Or did my non-jealous response make him think I don't care? Should I have called him out on it? What is the goal in making the other person jealous, just personal satisfaction or does he want me to reassure him or something?

hahahahaha just ignore this shit, it's just to iritate you. Act as if you don't care.

I feel like he intentionally told me a story (that I question the truth of) in order to get a reaction from me or make me jealous. The last time I had seen him prior to this, I had been kind of distant with him. I feel like my aloofness might have made him insecure, so the story was his way of gaging my interest or seeing if I would react? I was admittedly caught off guard, but didn't really react to the story. I kind of just let him tell it and went along with it, with a "that's nice dear" type of attitude. Parts of it didn't even make sense, so I feel like there was zero reason for him to tell me unless he had an ulterior motive in doing so. To be honest, it didn't really work because I saw through it, so I'm not really jealous, just kind of annoyed at his immaturity. But I do still care about him.

Posted by PhoenixRisingYea I definitely feel like he was manipulating to get me to show that "I care" or something. I just don't really understand why or what exactly he wanted me to do in response. On the one hand I want to reassure him, but on the other, I don't want to play into his games and reward crappy behavior. Next time I'll be a lot more direct with him!
When a Scorp tried this with me I simply let him finish his story, looked him straight in the eye and said "Sweetie, I'm all in. You have me, so there are no need for games." Of course he tried to play it off like he didn't know what I was talking about and I simply stated "I don't like to be tested. I'm here until you do something to change that." and went back to the show I was watching. He didn't do it again.
You have to be direct with us when we try to manipulate a situation/reaction. Or you can keep playing aloof and he'll eventually float away because he doesn't think you're interested. Your aloofness probably confuses him. It can be off putting to a feeling sign.click to expand

Addressing it directly and letting him know where you stand isn't "rewarding" crappy behaviour. Acting jealous and playing into his approach would have been. He's not a 2 year old throwing a tantrum, he's being passive. Scorp is a passive sign. Depending on the placement it looks different, but it is still passive. Think of what he did as the dark version of flirting. The goal was to get your attention and gauge your interest without having to put himself out there too much. I'm not suggesting it's the most mature approach, but it's sadly how some Scorps communicate desire and need.
For some reason he questions your interest level. It may be because he's insecure, or you may lack the level of affection/attention he requires to feel like you're into him or on the same page. Or perhaps it's a combination of both. Despite what has been stated here, ignoring him will only incorrectly confirm that you're not into him. If you are, state it plainly to reassure him, state your position on his approach in a gentle way and that should be the end of it. Hopefully.
If it continues after you've addressed it, move on. One can only have so much patience for that.
