What Is teasing?

When you tease a guy, you are poking fun at him in a playful, flirty way, only giving a little to make him want even more. Teasing can be used as a way to flirt with him in a not so serious way, keeping things light. It’s when you hint at certain things with flirty actions or with your words, leaving him wanting more.

Why You Should Tease Him

• It leaves him wanting more. Teasing a guy will surely leave him wanting more of you. Because you are only teasing him, he isn’t able to enjoy you, which will drive him crazy, making him want you more than ever.
• It inspires curiosity. Most forms of teasing will inspire curiosity, which goes along with leaving him wanting more. He is left wanting more because of his curiosity, not only because of his desire.
• It makes it even better when he finally gets you. Because you played this back and forth game with him for some time, it makes it even better when the teasing is finally over. When he is finally able to go out with you or do whatever you had been teasing him about, it will make it so much better because of the build-up for that.

How to Tease Him in Person

When you’re teasing a guy in person, confidence is required. Even if you’re not typically the most confident person, you should be confident around him.

You might find yourself saying things you wouldn’t normally say or trying things slightly outside your comfort zone as he teases you. This is why you need to be confident, keep your cool throughout the teasing, and enjoy it.

Start a competition.

One way you can tease him in person is by starting a competition. Playful competition is a great way to tease a guy, and you can do it by claiming you can do something better than he can and asking him to prove you wrong, or by daring him to try something that you would try, but you know he might be a little skeptical about.

Use body language to your advantage.

You don’t have to be all over him for this. Something as simple as brushing against him when you walk by in a crowded space or putting your hand on his shoulder when you want to catch his attention will suffice.

You could also try leaning your head on his shoulder towards the end of the night when you might be tired or whispering something into his ear instead of just saying it quietly. Those small actions that aren’t more than that will make him crazy for more.

Invade his personal space.

You could also try the opposite approach and invade his personal space in a not-so-subtle way. Tease him by acting like he’s yours, hold onto his arm when you’re walking through a crowded place, hug him when you greet him, and maybe even kiss him on the cheek.

These innocent gestures that you might naturally do just because if you were together are a playful way to leave him with curiosity about what that would be like.

How to Tease a Guy Over the Phone

If you’ve never teased a guy before, teasing him over the phone is a great way to dive in. You have a feeling of safety simply by knowing that if you feel too shy or embarrassed by something you said or by something he said to you, in the worst case scenario, you can just hang up.

Although you likely won’t feel that way, teasing a guy over the phone can be very enjoyable. It’s good to feel like you have an out for the situation if you’re new to it. Feeling more secure will inspire more confidence within you.

Talk to him seductively.

Without giving away too much, talk to him in a seductive way and taunt him, so he wants more. You can also talk about seductive topics, forcing him to explore these conversations with you, expanding within that together.

Ask him about his thoughts about you.

Asking a guy what he thinks about you makes him really think about what he’s going to say because he wants to flatter you as much as possible. He might have a simple answer, a playful answer, or he might be really sincere. The teasing doesn’t necessarily have to be in the answer he gives you, it’s in the question itself.

Ask him for his weekend plans.

Asking him what his plans are is a great way to tease him into inviting you. If he tells you he’s going to a party Saturday night, you could say something like ‘Great, I’ll see you there at 8’. Another answer you could give is ‘I guess my invite got lost in the mail’.

Saying things like that will likely make him laugh, and he’ll feel inclined to invite you. It’s a good way to make it known that you want to be there and spend time with him.

Poke fun at some things he says.

Be careful not to go too far when you’re doing this, but poke a little bit of fun when he says certain things. Poke fun at how he says things, and let him poke fun back at you too.

Pro tip: Use a chat line service to practice. Many chat line services offer free trial minutes. Use these to your advantage and practice your teasing skills with the other callers using the chat line. Since you don’t know them and they don’t know you, you have nothing to be embarrassed of, and it’s the perfect opportunity to make mistakes and learn the best things to say. You may even get ideas from other callers if they tease you back.

How to Tease a Guy Through Text

Teasing a guy through text allows you to think about what you’re going to say back to whatever he says back to you, and it allows you to really analyze what he says to you. This is the best way to tease a guy if you’re not really sure what you want or if you just met him. It allows you to test the waters without diving in head first.

Text him at night.

Texting him at night is best because it’s when he will be able to answer the most, allowing you to have a flowing conversation. It’s a very suggestive time of day, and he might be more inspired to have creative comebacks to what you tease him with.

Use icons and gifs.

If you use emojis when texting him, you can say a lot without actually saying anything. Use the emojis you have available to your advantage, and tell him what you want to tell him, only with emojis. The slight mystery that he will encounter when he asks himself if what he thinks you’re saying is what you’re really saying will make him very interested in talking to you more and more.

Ask for his opinion on what you should wear.

Even if you’re not picking out an outfit to see him, ask for his opinion on what you should wear. For example, ask him if you should wear boots with the skirt you’re planning on wearing or heels, and send him a picture of both. Maybe you’re packing for a trip, and you need help deciding which bathing suits to bring, tease him by sending him photos of the options, but don’t try them on. This will create so much curiosity and leave him wanting more.

Tell him you can’t get him off your mind.

Tell him how much you think about him and that you can’t help it. Making him aware of how much you want him is a great way to tease him. Guys love feeling that they’re wanted, especially by the girl teasing him so much that he can’t wait to see her.

Pretend you’re not that interested.

Although this sounds like a contradicting approach to lots of the suggestions mentioned above, pretending you’re not that interested, or playing hard to get, can be a great way to tease the guy you like. He’ll be surprised at your lack of interest, making him want you even more. Guys love to attempt to get what they think they can’t have.

To wrap things up.

Teasing isn’t only for single people; everyone can have fun with it. Guys love being teased, and they love the chase. Playfully teasing them is the perfect way to have them constantly after you because of the desire you have managed to create within them. Enjoy this phase, and don’t hesitate to keep it going even if you are in a relationship with him.
