Whether you’re missing a crush, a partner, or an old friend, there are many ways to tell them how you feel—even without sounding too intense or needy. Expressing yourself in a natural and easy way isn’t as tricky as it might feel, and we’re here to help you craft the best message possible. Read on for a comprehensive list of ways to tell someone you miss them while building a deeper emotional connection with them in the process!
Things You Should Know
- Let them know you're thinking of them by making plans to catch up, or try sending a nostalgic photo to bring up old, happy memories.
- Message them when they post an important life event on social media to reconnect, or offer a compliment that explains why you miss them so much.
- Acknowledge the lack of communication if you haven’t talked to them in a while. Then, let them know you still care and would love to reconnect.
- Tell them you appreciate them and think about them a lot. Alternatively, be direct and say “I miss you,” so they know exactly how you feel.

Relationship CoachYou really can't make someone miss you—you just have to give them time. When someone has time away from you, you can see if you're on their mind or not. Constantly trying to get someone's attention and get them to check on you is the worst thing you can do, though, since you aren't giving them an opportunity to even think about you.
