My current boyfriend and I broke up.
I’m now communicating with this new guy by texting. I have met with him once in person. He’s out of town right now so we are actively keeping in touch through texting and email.
I don’t want to bombard him with calls and texts that I miss him so things have been sort of quiet on my end in that regard. I really like him and I want him to like me.
How do you think I should let him know this? I haven’t let on that I miss him and can’t wait to see him again because I don’t want to scare him off.
“I miss you.”
“When will I see you?”
“When will you be back in town?”
Or maybe you can think of some other way I should tell him? I could use some advice here.
Thanks.

Just tell him you’re thinking of him. Not too clingy or needy, but he’s in your thoughts.
My current boyfriend and I broke up.
You mean your previous boyfriend?
How long have you been talking to this new guy? If you’ve only seen him once and have only been communicating electronically, how can you miss him?
If you’ve only seen this guy once, I wouldn’t be too clingy or desperate. I probably wouldn’t say any of those things you listed. I might say, “I’m excited to spend time with you when you get back!” Friendly, but it also shows a little interest. My guess is that he already knows you’re interested.
I’m looking forward to seeing you when you get back.
Just don’t go overboard. You’re spot on to play it a little cool. Even if you do shut the door after seeing him and do a little clog dance on your own.
@livelaughlove21 Yes, my previous bf, sorry. I’ve only gone out with him one time. Then he had to leave town to do some work for his job. He just seemed really nice the first time we met. I know it’s strange to miss someone you’ve only met once. He always replies to my texts and emails so I know he likes me too.
@Bellatrix and @Adirondackwannabe I think that’s what I’ll do. I didn’t want to appear clingy or needy. Thanks.
I like the suggestion “I’m looking forward to seeing you when you get back.” If you think that sounds too formal, then how about “Maybe we can get together when you get back. That will be fun.”
So don’t say you miss him, tell him you like it when you text each other, and you’re looking forward to when you can say it right to him without texting him!
Well, I just texted him “thinking of you.” He replied with “thinking of you too.” So I’m pleased with that. No need to worry now :)
@rojo Hmm. I thought of that too, but wasn’t sure if that would come off as clingy either.
Don’t listen to rojo. He’s just thinking wishfully! Best to hold back a bit.
Just adding an alternate choice is all. What good is 69 flavors if they are all vanilla.
If you are texting and emailing, he knows you’re thinking of him and like him. I wouldn’t say anything else at this point.
I either wouldn’t say a word OR I’d say, “drop over when you get a chance. Have to run now!”
