jealous man next to woman

You may have noticed a girl you’re into seems to be trying to make you jealous. She might be talking about other people, or posting pictures online that feel targeted to you. So, what does this mean?

It can often be tough to know what messages like this are supposed to mean. This is especially true if you have feelings for the person in question. That’s why we recommend being direct with how you feel. This will lead to less confusion on both sides and lead to less jealousy too. 

Why Do You Feel She’s Trying to Make You Jealous? 

First, it’s a good idea to understand why you feel that someone’s trying to make you jealous. There are some cases where this may be what’s happening. Still, especially if you’re interested in someone, it can be easy to read too deep into certain things. 

For example, what if this girl is talking about someone else she’s interested in around you? While it’s possible she’s “trying to make you jealous,” she may also be making it clear she’s interested in someone else. If you’re interested in her, you may be seeing what you want to see.

With this being said, she may be trying to get your attention. If a girl is interested in you and she’s trying to make you jealous, this may be her way of trying to have you notice her. Some girls may be unaware that they’re even doing this! 

While it’s difficult to know what’s going on, it’s important to try and see what’s happening beyond your own emotions. Unfortunately, this is often easier said than done. That’s why for any relationship issue like this, we always recommend being direct. 

What to Do if a Girl’s Trying to Make You Jealous? 

Your best option is always to be direct about how you feel. Try to find a private moment with her where you can be direct. Either ask her out or tell her you’re interested in her. You could also bring up any feelings of jealousy you’ve been having. 

While this is difficult, it will remove much of the confusion in your relationship. Hopefully, this will lead her to be just as direct with you. 

From here, if you’re both interested in each other, you can take the next step together. Or, if she doesn’t seem to be interested, you can move on. Either way, you can stop overthinking the situation!

Being direct about how you feel is never easy. But, it’s often the only way to navigate a situation like this. So, don’t be afraid, and share how you feel. 

Conclusion

If you feel a girl’s trying to make you jealous, it may leave you more confused than anything. It’s often difficult to say if this is really the case, or if it’s just in your head. Either way, we recommend always being direct with how you feel. This will let you avoid any confusion, and make any relationship much easier to navigate.
