Send a lovely good night text

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/62/Make-Him-Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px- Make-Him-Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/62/Make-Him- Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Him-Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

A text before bed will make him think about you all night. After a long day, your guy will be touched to know that he is the last person you think of before going to sleep. Flirt a little and tell him how much you miss him so he wishes he could curl up right next to you.

“Good night 😚 See you in my dreams!”
“I don’t know how I can sleep when I have only your image in my head.”
“I wish I could fall asleep in your arms tonight ❤️”

Keep optimism in your messages

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/13/Make-Him-Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px- Make-Him-Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/13/Make-Him- Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Him-Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Cheerful texts are more likely to be responded to by guys. If you whine or talk about something that brings the atmosphere down, there’s less chance he’ll respond. Talk about what he likes to do, tell him stories that make him laugh, and use emoticons to make your messages sound more interesting, and he’ll keep chatting with you. ^{[5] X Research Sources}

If you want to have a serious conversation, you should wait until you meet him.

Don’t always be present

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f4/Make-Him-Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px- Make-Him-Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f4/Make-Him- Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Him-Miss-You-Like-Crazy-over-Text-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Limit the amount of time you text him to make him miss you even more. If you always text and respond immediately, he’ll think you’re waiting for him on the phone. He’ll miss you more if you don’t always start the conversation first, so sometimes wait for him to initiate the conversation. When you receive his text, you can wait a few hours before responding to make him even more interested in receiving your message.
