How to Make a Man Miss You

Absence makes the heart grow fonder…or so we’re told. But let’s face it: absence only works if your guy is actually missing you during that time. So how can you make sure that his mind is on you even when his hand isn’t in yours?

Here’s How To Make Any Man Miss You

It doesn’t matter if it’s a longstanding relationship you’re trying to spice up, a recent breakup you’re trying to undo, an argument with your man that you’re trying to resolve, or you’re trying to pin down your dream guy, making him miss you is the secret ingredient in your love potion.

Here are some proven ways to make the guy you’re miss you.

1. Leave On a High Note

Nothing will leave you lingering on your man’s mind like when you part ways on a high note. And this is especially true if your relationship has been shaky lately.

When you and your man leave each other on unpleasant or overly serious terms, there’s a good chance that the time he spends away from you will be full of questions about whether or not he’s better off without you. Instead of giving him the chance to question your relationship, make him miss you by leaving cheerfully, with hugs, kisses, laughter and promises to reunite soon.

2. By Mysterious

When you’re trying to woo a guy leaving a little mystery is one of the best ways to ensure that he’s still thinking of you once you’re out of sight. So instead of pouring your heart out or letting him in on all your thoughts and secrets, choose to hold back in little ways, and avoid the classic pitfall of oversharing.

If he asks you questions about your past, be coy, but not annoyingly so. Answer his questions honestly, but don’t dish out loads of information. A little ambiguity is the best way to make him want to spend more time with you.

3. Highlight the Fun Parts of Your Life

Now this doesn’t mean that you should spend all of your time trying to prove that your life is a wonderland, because if you do, he’ll smell your bluff. Instead, just be positive.

Tell him about the amazing concert you went to, the new sushi joint you tried, or the crazy night you had out with your girlfriends. Fun stories like this, as opposed to moaning about negative issues, prove that you’re a great person to be around whether or not he’s there, and believe me, he’ll want to be there.

This is a solid tactic to use after a breakup when you’re trying to show him how much duller his life is without you around, and it can also show him how breaking up won’t be the end of your life.

4. Be Good In Bed

Now this one is a bit smutty, but trust me, if you know how to rock his world between the sheets he’ll be missing you in no time!

If you’re in a long distance relationship than this can especially be true because your man is going to need something to get him through those long, lonely nights. Being a sex goddess won’t only having him missing you, but he’ll also want only you. I mean, why would he throw away mind blowing sex for a fling that less than amazing?

If this sounds frightening, relax… the very fact that you know what your guy likes and dislikes gives you a leg up on the possible competition. It’s just the first step to getting him sexually addicted to you.

5. Show Subtle Interest in Someone Else

Did you know that in France a crime of passion can get you off the hook for murder? Well, that doesn’t fly in many other places, but jealousy is useful tool for making a guy think about you.

So how do you use it to your advantage? Jealousy is best used when you’re trying to get the attention of an ex-boyfriend or a guy who hasn’t yet committed to you, which is why it’s an amazing technique to make a man want or miss you.

To do so, shift your attention from your real love interest to someone else.  This can be useful if you feel he’s fighting his feelings for you and isn’t sure what he wants from your relationship.

When you’re around that person make sure you’re dressed well, laugh often, flirt lots and use gentle touches on hands and arms. In this case, you want to display your so-called interest in this person for all to see. When the man you are wanting sees this it may be the push he needs to work on winning you back. A word to the wise, don’t over do it.

6. Leave Him Wanting More

The best way to get a guy to miss you, whether he just met you or you’ve been together for years, is to leave him wanting more. More kisses, more stories, more laughter, more creativity, more of your mother’s amazing secret meatball recipe, more dirty talk, whatever it is, just leave him wanting more.

By letting him know that he can look forward to the same treatment the next time he sees you, he’ll be eager to see you again and will miss you in-between.

7. Cut Off Contact

If you are constantly calling and texting the man you’re into then he won’t have any time to think about missing you. Take a break from the daily phone time and wait for him to call or text. When you stop calling or texting he’ll wonder why, and this will cause him to start thinking about and missing you.

If you’re someone who is constantly updating social media with your activities then try limiting how much you post so that he really feels the burn of no contact. Social media posts are an easy way for people to stay connected and never feel like they’re missing you. When you post less, your guy will start to miss learning about what’s going on in your life.

8. Look Your Best

Still wondering how to make him miss you? Here’s an easy one: look good. Not to sound shallow, but if you and your guy just broke up and there’s still a chance you might get back together then looking fantastic is one of the best way to do it.

To do this, workout, wear flattering clothes, show off your sexy assets, do your hair, makeup and anything else that makes you feel good about yourself.

9. Be Your Own Woman

One of the best ways to make him miss you is to stop depending on him for your happiness. By showing him that you’re happily pursuing your own personal commitments, hobbies, interests and friendships you’ll be on his mind more than you can imagine. Be your own woman.

Being yourself is the foundation that every successful relationship is built on.
