Some men find it difficult to cry or show emotion, even in front of their significant other. Though your guy may be secretive about his feelings, he still has them. To get him to respond emotionally, you can send a heartfelt text of your own that really makes him feel your love! Read on for our complete guide to making a guy cry over text.

How do you make a guy cry over text?

Make him cry by emphasizing how deeply you're in love with him. You might say things like "I love the way you are, and would never try to change you" or "My love for you grows stronger every day." A message like "I will happily tell you that I love you every day for the rest of my life" could also be touching.
