Good Idea to Use Jealousy Plot?
A girl who I have a long history of on again off again hooking up recently ended things with me, stating that she wanted to be my friend, continued contacting me every day and making an effort to be really nice. I was initially responsive but would not initiate contact. Anyhow, on Friday night she asked what I was doing around 10PM and I waited a while to respond and vaguely said I had just finished a late dinner. Next morning she continued to ask about what I was doing so I said I went on a date (I really didn't, just wanted to see if she would be mad). Ever since then she has not been talking to me at all. Coincidentally, the reason I even told her I was on a date was due to a thread I had found on this site saying how powerful of a tool jealousy is and that letting a woman know you are seeing other women will heighten interest very quickly. I also came across the whole concept of "No Contact" and have pledged not to contact her either, however I was enjoying the leverage of responding to her texts however I wanted. Now she isn't talking to me at all. It definitely burnt her, but I hope it didn't drive her away. I am thinking to continue no-contact is the best course of action here.
What I really want to know is if you guys think telling her I was on a date was a useful move and how far to really go with the whole jealousy plot. I know it creates value, etc, but some girls will not bother if they think you are with someone else due to their own ego. Thoughts?
