How to Make Your Boyfriend Miss You After an Argument

The aftermath of an argument with your boyfriend can feel truly awful. At this moment, you might be feeling sad, disappointed, or even angry. One of the most effective ways to make your boyfriend open his eyes and fear losing you is by making him miss you. Additionally, if he misses you, it means he genuinely cares about you and values the relationship. In this article, we’ll share some tips on how to make him miss you, so you can reconcile and kiss and make up after the argument.

Time apart can be the perfect opportunity for him to miss you. This might not be easy, and it seems counterintuitive to what you want right now. However, a little distance might help bring you closer together afterward. Stop calling, texting, and avoid meeting him for a few days. When he doesn't see you, he’ll realize how much he wants you in his life.

• The distance also gives both of you time to cool down after the argument, allowing you to communicate more effectively afterward.
• In general, you could give him some space for up to 3 days after the disagreement.

Your boyfriend will be wondering why you haven’t messaged him. By waiting for him to text you first, you’ll encourage him to find a way to make up with you. Hopefully, he’ll realize he has hurt you and try to make things right.

• What should you do to make him text you? Stay active on social media and interact with friends. Let others know you're keeping busy. He’ll likely hear about it, and it will make him realize you're pulling away.
• How long should the period of no communication last? This depends on the cause of the issue. Generally, people need about 3 days for the emotional pain to subside. If you don’t talk for more than a week, it could be a sign you're reevaluating the relationship.

Make your boyfriend sweat a little so he doesn’t think you’re just sitting there waiting for him. You don’t have to wait too long, just give it about 15 to 30 minutes to show him that you’re not constantly glued to your phone. After this time, you can reply at a pace that matches his.

• If he typically replies instantly, you can do the same. But if he takes hours to respond, you can follow his lead.

Show your boyfriend that you can be happy without him. Invite a friend or a group of friends to hang out together. This way, not only will you enjoy some wonderful moments, but your friends can also help you deal with difficult situations, like a fight with your boyfriend. Here are some activities you could do with friends:

• Invite them over to watch a movie.
• Play board games.
• Go bowling.
• Bake cookies.
• Play mini golf.
• Create some artwork together.
• Do a beauty session together.
• Play online games.
• Go shopping.

When he sees you on his feed, he'll instantly think of you. Your photo will show him you're enjoying life rather than sitting around crying over him. However, only post one picture a day to avoid making him think you've completely moved on. Here are some photo ideas to consider:

• Take a picture with your friends.
• Pose with a pet.
• Play a musical instrument.
• Take a photo outdoors.
• Snap a picture at a cool spot like a cafe.

Remind him that you're someone everyone likes. After an argument, it's important to keep your schedule packed with activities so he realizes you're a valuable person worth pursuing. This not only makes him miss you, but also helps you stop obsessing over him when you're not in touch. You could:

• Spend time on hobbies, studying, or even sign up for an online course.
• Break your usual routine! Try something new, whether it's a new hobby, a class, or meeting with friends.

Don't reply or comment so he can feel your absence when he doesn't see you around. It may seem difficult, but you'll feel better if you avoid opening his snaps, watching his stories, or scrolling through his posts. When he notices you're not responding, he'll realize how special you made him feel whenever you showed up.

He'll see you as someone worth pursuing when you're the best version of yourself. Get enough sleep and eat healthily to look your best and feel strong. Also, make sure to exercise regularly for glowing skin and a light, refreshed feeling. If you can, treat yourself to something special, even if it's just an episode of your favorite show.

• Enjoy a spa day at home (or go to a spa). Apply a face mask, soak in a scented bath, and give yourself a relaxing massage.

Nostalgia can rekindle the feelings between you two. He might also feel lonely, and hopefully, he will miss you. To bring back the memories, post a photo that captures a happy moment with him. You can also share or write about your joy at that time, for example:

• "I remember when we watched the sunset over the sand dunes."
• "I miss those nights when we drove together on the country roads."
• "The picture of us at the light festival was so beautiful!"

A calm attitude will pull him closer to you. Even if you're still upset, don't be cold when he texts or calls after an argument. Respond calmly and lovingly. You can still let your boyfriend know how hurt you feel, but use sentences where you’re the subject so he doesn’t feel attacked. You could say:

• "I feel really hurt when you spoke harshly to me."
• "I'm still angry that you yelled at me yesterday."
• "I’m really sad because of the things you said to me."

Both of you should apologize if you want to make up. If possible, suggest meeting in person to have an honest conversation. Say that you regret what happened and promise to be calmer in the future. Then, listen to how he feels. You could say:

• "I'm sorry for raising my voice at you. I'll try to speak more respectfully in the future."
• "I'm sorry for getting upset when you spent time with your friends. I felt lonely, but next time, I’ll call my friends instead of asking you to cancel your plans."
• "I'm sorry for snapping at you. I should have let you know I needed some space."

• If he's ignoring you, try writing down your feelings to talk about later. You can also send a message explaining how he made you feel sad and then turn to your friends.
• Creating some space between you and him is the best way to make him pursue you. Don't be afraid to give him some breathing room.
• If you need to vent about the argument with your boyfriend, talk to your friends. You can also write your emotions in a journal.
