Remind him of the memories you’ve shared

He’ll feel the same way when you tell him you miss him. If you’re thinking about him, don’t hesitate to send a sweet reminder! Let him know how you’re feeling and that you wish he were with you. When your partner knows you’re missing him, he’ll want to be around you more because you’re always on his mind.

Send a sweet goodnight message
A bedtime message will keep him thinking about you all night. After a long day, your guy will be deeply touched knowing he’s the last person on your mind before you sleep. Flirt a little and say how much you miss him, making him wish he could curl up right beside you.

Keep the tone upbeat in your messages
Cheerful messages are more likely to get a response from guys. If you complain or bring up topics that dampen the mood, chances are he’ll be less inclined to reply. Talk about things he enjoys, share stories that make him laugh, and use emojis to make your messages more engaging. He’ll keep chatting with you.
- If you need to have a serious conversation, wait until you see him in person.
Don’t always be available
Limit your texting time to make him miss you more. If you’re always texting and replying instantly, he might think you’re sitting by your phone waiting for him. He’ll miss you more if you don’t always initiate the conversation, so occasionally let him take the lead. When you get his message, wait a few hours before replying to make him even more excited to hear from you.
