If a girl just told you that she misses you, she likely really cares about you. Though this is super flattering, you might be experiencing a range of emotions depending on how you feel about her in return. If you're unsure of how to respond, we're here to help with a complete list of ideas. In this article, we’ll walk you through a variety of responses best based on your relationship with her.

Responses to "I Miss You"

  • If you miss her back, tell her the feeling's mutual with, "I miss you too," or, "I've been thinking about you all week!"
  • When you want to send a flirty response, spice it up by saying, "I can't wait to see you again," or "What do you miss about me 😉"
  • If you want to be polite or the feeling isn't mutual, say something like, "Sorry, my schedule has been packed," or, "Thanks, that's nice. How are you?"

  1. If a girl told you she misses you, she just really put herself out there. She's likely hoping that you miss her in return, so this response is guaranteed to make her happy.[1]
    • If you don't have romantic feelings for her and want to make that clear, try, "I miss you too, friend" or "Missing you, buddy!"
    • If she's your partner or someone you've recently started dating, you might add a sweet nickname or a romantic emoji, like, "Miss you, babe" or "Missing you always. 🥰"

  1. It can be tricky to know how to respond to an ex, even if your feelings are mutual. If you've still got positive feelings for her or would even like to rekindle something, your best bet is to take things slow and casual. Respond with a simple, kind message to show her that you'd like to keep talking.[7]
    • "It's good to hear from you! You've been on my mind lately, too."
    • "How've you been? It's been too long."

  1. Even if you miss your ex, keeping in contact with her can be confusing (especially in the early stages of a breakup). You have every right to request that the two of you take a break from talking. You can always reach out again in the future if you'd like to be friends.[8]
    • "I miss you, too, but I think it would be best if we stopped talking."
    • "I can't talk to you right now. I hope you understand."
    • If your ex texted you and you don't want to talk to them, It's also okay to simply not respond.[9]

  1. Asserting your boundaries doesn't make you mean; in fact, it's just what the situation calls for. Let her know that she needs to stop reaching out for good, especially if she's ignored your previous requests to get her to stop.[10]
    • "I'm not comfortable with that. Please stop texting me."
    • "I would like to be left alone. Don't contact me anymore."
    • If she continues to contact you, consider blocking her number and avoiding her in person.
