I’m not a fan of games or trying to manipulate your significant other, but if your boyfriend is taking you for granted, it never hurts to remind him that you can walk away. After all, if you’re single, you can walk away at any time if you feel unwanted or unappreciated. If you want to remind your boyfriend of your agency and make him afraid of losing you, here are a few things you can try.
How to Make Him Afraid of Losing You.
1. Talk about a future without him
When you talk about any future events, make it seem like he’s not a part of those plans. This doesn’t necessarily mean talking about your long-term life plans. It can be as simple as talking about a trip or weekend plans without him involved. All you have to do is say “I” instead of “we.” It’s a subtle change, but most guys should be smart enough to pick up on it. He’ll notice, trust me.
2. Cut down on text messages
Most of you ladies are constantly texting and we love you for it. However, constant texting reveals all your cards to him and demonstrates your interest and dependence on him.
If you cut back on your texting and don’t always reach out first, he’ll start to wonder why. This can cause him to take on a bigger role in the relationship and take the initiative needed. It can also make him feel like you have more important things to do than talk to him.
3. Flirt with another guy in front of him
I just want to preface this point by saying that it’s a little harsh, even if effective. I can tell you with a lot of confidence that there are few things guys hate more than their girlfriends flirting with other guys. I mean, if he has any feelings for you, this is going to hurt like a punch to the gut. Just keep that in mind if you decide to do this.
However, it can be a good way to get your point across. It will make him very angry and even upset, but it will also let him know that you don’t fully know your worth and can leave him at any time if he doesn’t bother to hold on to you.
4. Stop being needy
You want to avoid being a needy girlfriend as much as possible. That being said if he’s used to you hanging around him all the time and it suddenly stops, he’ll know something’s wrong. He’ll notice that you’re not relying on him as much as you used to, and then he’ll start to think that maybe you’re thinking about breaking up with him or that you’re not happy with him in some way. This will give him the incentive to start trying to win you back.
5. Make new friends
A good guy usually feels comfortable with your friends. But if you start making new acquaintances, he may start to think that he is losing you. Maybe one of your new friends, of whom he can easily become jealous. But the main thing is not to overdo it.
First of all, it is a significant change in your life. It may make your boyfriend think that you are moving on to another stage in your life. It is enough to make him worry that he may lose you.
6. Take care of yourself
Whatever the case, we should all try to stay fit and take care of our bodies for our well-being, but this can also be a way to make a guy afraid of losing you.
I mean, most of us tend to let ourselves go a little bit when we get comfortable in a relationship. However, going to the gym (or working out at home) regularly and taking care of yourself is just great. It might make a guy think that you are getting ready for something new again.
7. Look bored when he talks.
Okay, this is a bit of a sneaky trick, but it works. It will make him think twice about where he is and what he is saying to you.
If he seems uninterested when he tells you a story or talks about his day, then act bored. When he notices your reaction to his words, he will start to wonder if he is good enough for you or maybe he is not paying enough attention to you. Maybe he does not pay enough attention to your interests and needs. Trust me, he will start to worry that something is wrong.
8. Be confident
Ladies, you can never go wrong if you are confident. When a woman exudes confidence, a guy will always be at least a little afraid of losing her. Because of this, he will always feel like he has to prove himself worthy of her.
Part of this is due to the fear of losing you. If you act and feel confident, the guy will always think you have other options—and hey, you probably do!
