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.
