Is it normal to "have a boyfriend" to make your ex jealous?

So I think my ex boyfriend likes me, but I'm not sure. I want to brag about a fake boyfriend in front of him (obviously not saying he's fake) to see his reaction and confirm my theory. Is this normal or am I being crazy?

    Why are girls like you so stupid? The only thing that will do is make him hate you and probably never speak to you again, at least that's what I'd do because you're a bitch.

    This kind of thing is unfortunately normal. Its really dumb though. I suggest you start being honest with people, then you will be ready for a relationship. This kind of stuff, just doesn't make sense. You want him, but you like to say things to push him away further.. no real logic there.

    Stay with the fake one. You can call him Jake and
    dream all about him and then no guy will fall victim
    to your neurotic personality.

    It's a subconciouse thing, but what your trying to do with that is get attention from him. It's sort of like picking a fight just so you know he acknowledges you. Or saying "Man I look fat today" So he says "No you looks great" Some guys will totally drop the persuit if he thinks you already have somebody, so you could just screw your chances for a little bit of attention. Unless you don't want to get back together with him and your fake boyfriend is intended to hurt his feelings cause he's wronged you? If that's the case then the fake boyfriend route would be effective

    First of all consider why he's an ex.

    If you want him back telling him you have a new bf will not encourage him to ask you out again - he will think you've moved on.
