When you are in love, spending time apart is the last thing you want.
Luckily, through modern technology, you are only a few clicks or a call away from the man you miss.
You can save running through the airport for the movies and send a thoughtful text to make his day.
However, many people find themselves stumped when trying to express the depths of their love in a succinct few lines of text.
If you’ve been staring at the empty space above your keyboard with a full heart, we have collected a list of 55 missing him messages to brighten his day and make yours easier.
What to Say to Your Man When You Miss Him?
You may be wondering, “What can I text a guy to make him smile?” Guys can be tough nuts to crack sometimes, but a sweet and loving message will go a long way and keep him thinking about you all day.
Our feelings run deep, electrifying every nerve ending. Love is often more profound than our language can express, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
Words of affirmation are the primary love language for many people, so a text has the power to make someone’s day and validate their emotions.
If words are that powerful, then it’s essential to find the right ones. The ‘right words’ are simply the words that come from your heart. They can be simple. They can be rambling. The perfect text could simply be, “I love you.”
Here are a few more tips to help you write your message:
Be vulnerable. These messages can allow you to say something that you may be shy about speaking in person, especially if this is a newer relationship.
Spice it up. Remind him what you miss and just what he is missing!
Use emojis. A message can be poetic with emojis, too, adding a dash of humor and fun to a sweet text.
Although you may be miles apart, a text can bring you to the forefront of his mind.
Whether you’ve just started dating or you’ve been married fifty years, telling someone how much you love and miss them will always be meaningful.
Here are 55 examples you can send to your significant other:
