3. Because he wants you to be jealous.
“I want to see what kind of reaction she has when I mention someone else,” smiles a man in his early 20s. Men may tease you by complimenting other women, but it’s only an attempt to get you all worked up. If a guy you like tries to get you to be jealous, don’t pretend like it doesn’t bother you. Rather, express your disappointment and show that you’re hurt. While it may sound childish, it’s just another way for him to confirm your affection toward him.
