* '''Lampshaded''': ???

* '''Invoked''': ???
Bob's defining character traits are his pride and stubbornness, so Alice knows that bragging about how she's better off with someone other than him will spurn him into action.
* '''Exploited''': ???
Charlie wants to woo Alice, but knows that Alice has {{UST}} for Bob, so he suggests making Bob jealous as an excuse for Alice to date him.
* '''Defied''': ???Alice considers the idea, but is worried that she'll break Bob's heart instead of just making him jealous, so she doesn't go through with it.
