Today, I talked to a girl I like. I tried to make her jealous by telling her I had a "thing" going with another girl. She looked deeply into my eyes and said, "Wait, aren't you gay?" FML

Tying to make her jealous is not how to win over a girl!

If you've passed seventh grade and still try to make your romantic interests "jealous"... Yeah, you're kind of immature, and kind of a douche.

So you're what, 15? Grow up. Mind games aren't exactly a winning ticket to relationship happiness.

Dude just not cool never play mind games with anyone your trying to get to date you.

guy tip #1 - never make a girl feel second best or tell her you like someone else if you actually want her if she thinks you're into someone else, she's not gonna want you atall and will probably just try and be glad for you also, if she feels less than number one or a second option she'll always feel like that, ever so slightly unwanted you're a twat

Thank you. I had a guy friend do that to me all throughout high school. He eventually confessed that he had feelings for me and wanted to make me jealous. All it did was make me feel like crap and, like you said, second best

jealously doesn't work to win a girl

moment a guy says he's involved or looking at another girl, I consider him off the table. I don't compete with other women.

All these guy tips are WRONG! A girl doesn't want to directly KNOW that you are interested in another girl, but letting her THINK you are interested in another girl is a completely different scenario. Humans want what we can't have by nature. I'm not that good looking of a guy maybe a 6 or a 7 if generous (and that coming from my gf) but the thing is that if you give the allusion that you have a girl and show the confidence level of having a partner, the aura you will give off attracts people to you. This especially works well if they already know what you were like before hand and you start suddenly exuding this feeling about yourself. The boost is noticeable. If you want to play mind games with a girl, the trick is to not say anything definite unless you are planning to go all or nothing for the final step in securing the relationship.

How about dont play mind games at all? If that's how you won your girlfriends heart I'd be worried that she just liked the challenge and wasn't actually into you. I hope that's not the case for you

what are you doing that makes her think you're gay?

You deserve it. I'm surprised there's not more "YDI" on this FML. You trying to make her jealous would not do anything on your behalf. You would drive her away because she won't think you're available. And if she thinks you're gay then you're pretty bad at getting girls.
