Girlfriends and boyfriends exchange this kind of message to show affection to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, for the first part of today&rsquo;s post, here are some general, sweet, and expected responses you could use when your boyfriend or girlfriend says &ldquo;I miss you.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>1. I miss you too.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;I miss you too&rdquo; is a great response only if you really miss the person, or at least want to show the person that you actually do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This situation is possible when the person is special. This can be true in actual scenarios such as a boyfriend or girlfriend texting each other after a busy day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey, I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B:<\/span><b> I miss you too<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. I miss you more.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you want to show your girlfriend or boyfriend that you actually miss him or her more than he or she does, &ldquo;I miss you more&rdquo; is a great response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could happen when one or the other is away for a couple of days for work or family-related events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hi, babe. I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: Hey.<\/span><b> I miss you more<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. I miss you even more.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With more emphasis than &ldquo;I miss you more,&rdquo; &ldquo;I miss you even more&rdquo; would be a great response when your feeling exceeds your boyfriend or girlfriend&rsquo;s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The adverb &ldquo;even&rdquo; particularly conveys this effect, which is great for letting the other person feel appreciated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Ron, I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B:<\/span><b> I miss you even more.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. I was just about to say that.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could also say something like &ldquo;I was just about to say that.&rdquo; Apparently, this response works better in spoken rather than written scenarios because of the usage of &ldquo;say.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bear in mind, though, that this response is not strictly limited to spoken scenarios but that it is just more appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey, hon. I miss you already.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>I was just about to say that<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>5. I miss everything about you too.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;I miss everything about you too&rdquo; works especially when texting a girlfriend and making her feel better about herself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, girls can be tough, but all they need are just a few affectionate words. This would make them feel secure and loved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: How&rsquo;s your day going, honey? I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: All good, hon. <\/span><b>I miss everything about you too<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>6. I feel the same way too.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you want to focus on the fact that your feeling is mutual or the same as your partner, you can also say &ldquo;I feel the same way too.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Casual message exchanges are not necessarily strict with punctuation usage. But, you may choose to add a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/comma-before-too-the-definitive-guide\/\"><b>comma before &ldquo;too&rdquo;<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make your message more emphatic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: I miss you, Lily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>I feel the same way too<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, John.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>7. I&rsquo;ve been thinking about you too.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your girlfriend or boyfriend sends you a message out of the blue telling you that he or she misses you, it would be great to respond with &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been thinking about you too.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This would make him or her feel that you are on the same page, which would definitely strengthen your romantic relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hi, love. Just wanted to tell you I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: Hey. <\/span><b>I&rsquo;ve been thinking about you too<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>8. You&rsquo;re on my mind too.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to express &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been thinking about you too&rdquo; is &ldquo;You&rsquo;re on my mind too.&rdquo; Likewise, this expression communicates both sweetness and security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey, sweetheart. I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>You&rsquo;re on my mind too<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. How&rsquo;s your day been?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>9. What do you miss about me?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&rsquo;re feeling a little naughty or flirty when your boyfriend or girlfriend says &ldquo;I miss you,&rdquo; you could also say something like &ldquo;What do you miss about me?&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you should only make use of this expression when you&rsquo;ve reached a point where both of you already speak the same love language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey, baby. Hope you&rsquo;re enjoying your trip. I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>What do you miss about me?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tell me.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>10. Can&rsquo;t wait to see you!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If either of you is about to meet soon after a period of being away from each other, &ldquo;Can&rsquo;t wait to see you!&rdquo; would definitely be a great response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to &ldquo;I miss you too,&rdquo; &ldquo;Can&rsquo;t wait to see you!&rdquo; could communicate more warmth and excitement to the other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: The plane has just landed, love. I miss you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>Can&rsquo;t wait to see you!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Ways to respond to &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; for people who are aiming for a relationship<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18498\" src=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me.png\" alt=\"You Do, Then Call Me!\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me.png 720w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-320x180.png 320w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-335x188.png 335w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-347x195.png 347w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-520x293.png 520w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-640x360.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me.png\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18498 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me.png\" alt=\"You Do, Then Call Me!\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me.png 720w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-320x180.png 320w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-335x188.png 335w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-347x195.png 347w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-520x293.png 520w, https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me-640x360.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/You-Do-Then-Call-Me.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from those people who are already in a relationship, those ones who are aiming to have one could also exchange sweet messages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you&rsquo;re communicating with someone who is not yet officially your girlfriend or boyfriend, you may want to show some restraint in terms of feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Especially with women, they could try to avoid sounding &ldquo;needy&rdquo; when deep inside they actually love the gesture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, here are different ways to respond to &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; in the context of doing it with a potential girlfriend or boyfriend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These responses are either hopeful, needy-ish, or somewhat challenging in a way. These responses are also possible when you want to say &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; in return without directly saying it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>11. That&rsquo;s sweet. I kinda miss you too.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you think it&rsquo;s still a bit too soon to jump to conclusions, you can simply add a hedging device to your language use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do this, you could say &ldquo;That&rsquo;s sweet&rdquo; followed by &ldquo;I kinda miss you too&rdquo; to meanwhile maintain the momentum of the anticipated romantic relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey, I just saw your recent post, and it made me miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>That&rsquo;s sweet. I kinda miss you too.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>12. I was just about to text you too.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make the other person feel reciprocated, you could also say &ldquo;I was just about to text you too.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing so could positively strengthen whatever level of relationship you have already built with the other person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hi. I&rsquo;ve just finished my day. Just dropping by to say I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: Hey, there. <\/span><b>I was just about to text you too<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/how-to-respond-when-someone-says-hi\/\"><b>Responding to &ldquo;hi&rdquo; messages<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be borderline formulaic or mechanical sometimes because we simply do it all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But of course, we should never get sick of this because receiving &ldquo;hi&rdquo; messages means there are people around who care about us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>13. I&rsquo;m starting to feel that more often, too.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have already come to a point where you think you could take things further, you could say &ldquo;I&rsquo;m starting to feel that more often, too.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This expression could be an indirect yet emphatic way of responding to &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; when people are not officially in a relationship just yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Just saw the video you posted, and it made me miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B:<\/span><b> I&rsquo;m starting to feel that more often, too.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>14. Let me send you a picture.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don&rsquo;t feel like expressing to the other person that you miss him or her the same, you could take action by sending a picture instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It could be a great way to update your potential partner about the things that you are interested in because it does not only convey warmth but also openness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey, what are you doing right now? I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>Let me send you a picture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. [picture]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>15. What made you think that?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, if you think it is yet too soon to throw some I miss yous to each other, you could try doing a silly-sarcastic-challenging response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could be done by asking the question &ldquo;What made you think that?&rdquo; to the other person. As long as both of you are making progress, this response shouldn&rsquo;t come off as offensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Trish. Just wanted to say I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>What made you think that?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make sure you won&rsquo;t be misinterpreted in a bad way with your intent, you could also make use of the emoticon &ldquo;XD.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an emoticon or emoji, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/the-meaning-of-xd\/\"><b>the expression &ldquo;XD&rdquo; means<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you are attempting to be funny and even borderline sarcastic, which is a humor strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>16. Really? Prove it.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&rsquo;re feeling extra confident, you could also challenge the person right away by saying &ldquo;Really? Prove it.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not limited to ladies, gentlemen are also welcome to say something cocky-ish like this expression, especially if they are known to be funny or witty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Josh, I think I&rsquo;ve missed you. &ldquo;I think,&rdquo; okay? Haha<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>Really?

You do? Then call me.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way of expressing the same amount of playfully conceited response to &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; is &ldquo;You do? Then call me.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a good way to test if the other person is just playing around or really into you. Don&rsquo;t expect too much, though, so you won&rsquo;t get disappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey, Eve. Just wanted you to know that I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>You do? Then call me<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Like, right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Ways to respond to &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; for friends<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Friends miss each other too. Perhaps, even more than lovers do. Friends would always have this special place in our hearts that no one can tear apart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, we have also listed some ways to respond to a friend when he or she says &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; in a non-romantic way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note that the responses below are mostly limited to the context of close and long-term friendship, rather than something that has only just started.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>18. I appreciate that.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;I appreciate that&rdquo; could be a possible response if you are texting a friend in a cordial way, and you don&rsquo;t want to convey any false impressions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note, though, that this response may come off as a bit cold and insensitive. But, then, again, this works well if you are not necessarily into that person in a romantic way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This response also works in contexts where one is not necessarily in a good mood or is undergoing some troubles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey, Liz. I miss you. How&rsquo;s it going?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>I appreciate that<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Mike. Things are not really that great these days.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/how-to-respond-to-how-is-it-going\/\"><b>Responding to &ldquo;how&rsquo;s it going&rdquo; messages<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be a bit tricky when we are down in the dumps. So, there is no need to pretend that we are fine when we are actually not, and that&rsquo;s okay.<\/span><br>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>19. That&rsquo;s sweet. Miss you too.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to reciprocate the friendly message, you could simply say &ldquo;That&rsquo;s sweet. Miss you too.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This works for any gender. This is also great for communicating some amount of warmth but not in an overdone way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: George! How are you? I miss you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>That&rsquo;s sweet. Miss you too<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Anna! I&rsquo;m struggling with work these days, actually.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>20. So, how are you?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to somehow avoid being sweet, but you also want to continue the conversation, you could say &ldquo;So, how are you?&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This response is great even if it does not directly reciprocate the &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; message because it opens a conversation up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: It&rsquo;s been a while, Ash. I miss you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: Hey, there! <\/span><b>So, how are you?<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>21. Hey, there! What&rsquo;s up?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The relationship between friends is pretty casual most of the time, depending, of course, on the level of closeness or familiarity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When our friends tell us they miss us, it usually suggests that they need someone to talk to or hang out with. So, responding with &ldquo;Hey, there! What&rsquo;s up?&rdquo; is quite common.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Carlaaaa! I miss you. You busy?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>Hey, there! What&rsquo;s up?<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In reality, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/how-to-reply-to-whats-up\/\"><b>replying to &ldquo;what&rsquo;s up&rdquo;<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">messages is really dependent on the overall context of the conversation, which can be different from one person to another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>22. What are you up to? Let&rsquo;s hang out.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your friend texts you with &ldquo;I miss you,&rdquo; he or she most like is either bored or has some bad stuff going on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In situations like this, responding with &ldquo;What are you up to? Let&rsquo;s hang out&rdquo; could be really helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/what-are-you-up-to-meaning\/\"><b>What &ldquo;What are you up to?&rdquo; literally means<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is &ldquo;What are you doing?&rdquo; When someone sends us this message, that person should probably be looking for a companion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Reese! I miss you. You busy today?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: Dana! No, not at all. <\/span><b>What are you up to?<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>23. You busy today? We should hang out.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another response that demonstrates intent to take action on the &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; message is &ldquo;You busy today? We should hang out.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This message works well with friends who are planning to spend some time together for the day, especially when both clearly understand the intent to hang out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey,&nbsp; Gracie. I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>You busy today? We should hang out.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>24. Really? Send me a virtual hug then.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For friends that are miles apart from each other, sending virtual hugs can be a common gesture. Thanks to technology, we are now able to do such a thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey, Laura. I miss you. How are you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>Really? Send me a virtual hug then.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>25. You&rsquo;re being sweet. What do you need?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At times, friends can be totally blunt with words without offending each other in the slightest. So, it is possible to say &ldquo;You&rsquo;re being sweet. What do you need?&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this is how you and your friends treat each other, then you must have known each other for a long period of time. You&rsquo;ve probably gone through lots of ups and downs too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Ben. I suddenly thought about you. I think I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>You&rsquo;re being sweet. What do you need? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lol.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>26. I&rsquo;m broke. Try someone else.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to be extra straightforward with your friend, you could also say &ldquo;I&rsquo;m broke&rdquo; followed by &ldquo;Try someone else&rdquo; as a response to &ldquo;I miss you.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just make sure that your trust relationship with the person is already strongly established so you won&rsquo;t unintentionally offend him or her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Something in this world has made me miss you today, Eric.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>I&rsquo;m broke<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Sarah. <\/span><b>Try someone else<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Doing so may not be very helpful in all kinds of situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you feel like you&rsquo;re in this scenario right now, you could use responses that range from being sarcastic, vain, funny, or even straightforward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The responses below can be used if and when you don&rsquo;t necessarily feel the same way as the other person does, particularly in a romantic manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could also use the responses below when your ex tries to rekindle with you, but you don&rsquo;t want the same thing &ndash; at least not within a snap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>27. I&rsquo;d miss me too if I were you.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One conceited but fun way of responding to &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; is &ldquo;I&rsquo;d miss me too if I were you.&rdquo; Apparently, this expression is a double-edged sword.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, at least, it&rsquo;s somewhat better than being directly rude or offensive to the other person. Note that this one could also evoke other negative impressions if not used wisely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could work at least when texting your ex, for instance, and he or she has known you to be good with sarcasm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: I miss you, Helen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>I&rsquo;d miss me too if I were you<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>28. Yeah, you should!<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another sarcastic-leaning response to someone you don&rsquo;t necessarily miss is &ldquo;Yeah, you should!&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relationships end at some point, especially if not well taken care of. So, instead of being rude, you could just make use of wit and sarcasm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: I think I saw you earlier today, Elle. I realized I&rsquo;ve missed you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>Yeah, you should!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>29. Not working. Try harder.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, if you are working on rekindling with your ex-lover, but you want him to do more, you could say something like &ldquo;Not working. Try harder.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, expressions like this could make or break relationships depending on the overall context. So, you had better be careful with this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: You know I miss you, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>Not working. Try harder<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>30. That sounds like progress.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel like your ex has wronged you before, you could also say &ldquo;That sounds like progress.&rdquo; This one&rsquo;s neither sweet nor offensive. It conveys authenticity instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember though that this response may still carry a cold or sarcastic <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/liberalarts.tamu.edu\/blog\/2021\/10\/15\/definitions-vs-connotations-whats-the-difference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>connotation<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that could be misinterpreted depending on the overall context.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Jane, I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>That sounds like progress.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>31. Thank you. That&rsquo;s nice of you.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to be friendly without saying you miss the person back, you could also make use of &ldquo;Thank you. That&rsquo;s nice of you.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This response works well in cases where you don&rsquo;t want the other person to expect anything romantic from you in return.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey, Iris. Hope you&rsquo;re doing okay. I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>Thank you, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frank<\/span><b>. That&rsquo;s nice of you.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could also make your response friendlier by saying<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/thank-youuu\/\"><b>&ldquo;thank youuu&rdquo;<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">instead of its typical spelling. Make sure to only use this one in casual contexts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>32. It&rsquo;s nice to be missed.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another inoffensive yet avoidant response is &ldquo;It&rsquo;s nice to be missed.&rdquo; Replying with this expression demonstrates distance and honesty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This response works well in situations where you don&rsquo;t want to create false impressions about the other person also.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But then again, this could meanwhile be hurtful if the person likes you quite a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Hey, Tom. It&rsquo;s been a while since you&rsquo;ve texted me. I really miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>It&rsquo;s nice to be missed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Kayla. Thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>33. We really shouldn&rsquo;t go back there.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;We really shouldn&rsquo;t go back there&rdquo; is a straightforward response that may convey some form of hatred even if you simply want to be honest with what you feel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In reality, though, we sometimes need to be direct with how we exactly feel towards others so as to prevent hurting them or ourselves in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This kind of response could occur when your ex, the one who hurt you back then, attempts to get back with you, yet you are not necessarily on the same page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: I&rsquo;ve seen your post today, Lil. It made me miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: Thanks, Tom, but <\/span><b>we really shouldn&rsquo;t go back there.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>34. I think you got the wrong number.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;I think you got the wrong number&rdquo; is a possible response that we need to be careful of. On one side, it can be humorous; on the other, it can be painful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever the real intent is, the usage of this response is, again, dependent on the overall context of the exchange, especially the existing relationship of the two people involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Paul, I miss you. I&rsquo;m sorry. It won&rsquo;t happen again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B:<\/span><b> I think you got the wrong number.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>35. New phone. Who&rsquo;s this, please?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still leaning towards the sarcastic-humorous connotation, &ldquo;New phone. Who&rsquo;s this please?&rdquo; is another response to &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; that people may use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If used wisely, as well as context-appropriately, this should only come off as a funny or silly trick from the user.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Martha. I&rsquo;m sorry about forgetting about your birthday. I miss you. Will you talk to me, please?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B: <\/span><b>New phone. Who&rsquo;s this, please?<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you think your simple sorry text won&rsquo;t work because of some serious mistakes, writing an<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/write-apology-letter-to-girlfriend\/\"><b>apology letter to your girlfriend<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">would be better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>36. Well, I don&rsquo;t.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At other times, we could also feel like wanting to be slightly vengeful with our words, which is not recommended, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, we also have to be ready for blunt responses like &ldquo;Well, I don&rsquo;t&rdquo; in order to take the blow smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the context of the example situation below, we could understand that this response is caused by some unhealed wounds of the past.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: I&rsquo;m sorry about what happened, Amy. I miss you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B:<\/span><b> Well, I don&rsquo;t. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&rsquo;m sorry too.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Frequently Asked Questions on &ldquo;How to Respond to &lsquo;I miss you&rsquo;&rdquo;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>What could be a flirty response to &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo;?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A flirty response would be &ldquo;So, what exactly do you miss about me, [name]?&rdquo; or &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t miss, I kiss&rdquo; or &ldquo;Then meet me tonight.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>How can we respond to &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; without saying it back?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some ways to respond to &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; without directly saying it back would be &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been thinking a lot about you <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/as-of-late-vs-lately-difference\/\" title=\"lately\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">lately<\/a>, too&rdquo; or &ldquo;We seem to be on the same page.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>What is a funny response when someone says &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo;?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With friends, we could say &ldquo;What do you need from me?&rdquo; or &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t have money.&rdquo; For lovers, we could say &ldquo;This is XYZ police station,&rdquo; &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not even dead yet,&rdquo; or &ldquo;Who&rsquo;s this, please?&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Human as we are, we show our affection by sending &ldquo;I miss you&rdquo; messages to people that we fancy or like on different levels.
