Steps
-
Express excitement about meeting up to make them feel cared for. Whether you’ve been dating for a while or have just started talking, stress how much you miss the other person when they’re not around. Explain exactly how you feel to show your affection , and feel free to incorporate their personality, interests, or snippets from previous conversations to make your message seem more thoughtful and personal.
- “My six-word life story: I can’t wait to see you.”

Get their heart racing with a sweet (or suggestive) message. Looking for a way to get them all hot and bothered? Let them know you’re thinking about them to leave them wanting more. This is especially great if you’re meeting up for a date soon and want to build sexual tension . However, you can always make the first move and initiate plans too. Sprinkle in some flirty emojis to be playful , and drop a hint of what they can expect when they see you.
- “I can’t wait to see your gorgeous face later today.”

-
Shower them with love and affection if you’ve been dating for a while. One of the best ways to tell someone you love them is to express your feelings about having them in your life. Tell the other person what you’re looking forward to when you finally see them in person, and feel free to tap into your poetic side to be even more romantic and caring .
- “I can’t wait to see you…and run into your arms…and kiss your lips…and finally be with you. You’re my everything💖”
- “No matter how many days we’ve been apart, you’ll always have a special place in my heart. I miss you so much, and I can’t wait to see you.”

How do they make you feel? What do they bring into your life? Be vulnerable about your emotions to connect with the other person on a deeper level , and stress how excited you are to see them soon!

Send a silly message to make them laugh out loud. If you’re looking for a lighthearted way to tell someone you’re eager to see them, throw in a witty joke or one-liner to show off your playful side.

Express your longing with a unique and thoughtful expression. For a message that’s truly meaningful, come up with your own creative phrase to tell the other person you're dying to see them.

Explain you’re eager to see them with a sweet and simple text.

Text them good night to let them know they’re important in your life. Telling someone you’re thinking of them right before you go to sleep is incredibly romantic and caring, and it can also make them think of you all night long.

Let them know you feel the same to communicate mutual attraction. If you like the other person too, tell them how you feel to take your relationship to the next level. Express how their statement makes you feel, stress how much you miss them, or follow up with an open-ended question to keep the conversation going . For instance, you could ask them about their schedule to make plans together or ask a cutesy question about how long they’ve felt this way about you. [3] X Research source
