When a Guy Says He Misses You: 14 Signs He Really Does Mean It

When a guy says he misses you, is that just his go-to line to get into your pants or is he really sincere? Do the words match his actions?

“I miss you so much.” “I can’t stop thinking about you.” Yeah, we’ve all heard those lines before. Now, I don’t want to be the Debbie Downer, but I’ve met many guys who used that line without actually meaning it. And you know, I’ve said “I miss you” to people that I don’t necessarily miss. What can I say, people are dicks. And really, how do you know it’s real when a guy says he misses you?

But, this isn’t about the things you’ve said in the past. That’s over and done. Now, focus only on the present. Sure, he tells you he misses you, but there are ways to see if he’s really just full of crap or not. No one wants to be heartbroken. So, when a guy says he misses you, make sure you’re not getting sucked into his games.

When a guy says he misses you – 14 clues to know he actually means it

It feels nice to hear it, but when a guy says he misses you, does he actually?

#1 He doesn’t overdo it. If a guy constantly tells you he misses you, okay, he may be genuine, but it’s not coming across as that. If someone really misses you, they’re not going to tell you that 100 times a day.

To tell someone you miss them, it’s emotional. If it’s genuine, they’re not going to cheapen their feelings. [Read: 15 ways to tell if someone likes you without asking them]

#2 He’s constantly in contact with you. Even if you two have nothing to talk about, he still writes you, “what’s up.” I mean, is that really necessary? Of course not, but the guy misses you and wants to keep the conversation going. He’ll probably ask you some non-important question or talk about the weather, but he’s trying to keep the connection.

#3 You Skype or FaceTime. If he’s Skyping or FaceTiming you, he wants to see you. Sure, you can text or voice message, but going from that to a video call shows that he wants to see you. He misses your face, he misses your smile and your laugh. He can’t help it that he loves your face. I wouldn’t FaceTime a guy if he was just a friend—what’s the point?

#4 He’s all over your social media. He likes your statuses and photos or maybe he doesn’t, but you see him creeping on your Snapchat and Instagram stories. Even if he’s not in the position to like your posts, he’s following what you’re doing. We all do this when we miss someone. We want to know what they’re doing and who they’re seeing.

#5 He talks about seeing you. When a guy misses you, he wants to see you. In fact, he talks about wanting to see you all the time. Now, this is a good sign, however, there have been so many men that have told me that they’re going to come to see me and nothing ever happened. So, when a guy says he misses you, and backs it up with visible effort to try and meet you, that means something.

#6 He actually plans to see you. Okay, so talking about it is sweet, but actually booking a flight ticket is solid proof that he misses you. It’s a big step actually. It really shows that what he feels is true. I had a guy recently come fly out to see me. I couldn’t believe it, so many guys talk about it. He was the only one to make that step.

#7 He may turn into a homebody. When you’re sad, the odds are you’re less likely to go out and socialize. You just want to stay home and watch movies. Maybe you’ve noticed that he hasn’t gone out much and that he’s pulling away from his friends. Why is this?

He misses you and he’s sad that he’s not with you. This happened to me and I didn’t go out for a couple months because all I wanted was to be with the guy I liked.

#8 The drunken call? We’ve all had the drunken phone calls. Why else would he be calling you at 2:00 am? Okay, well, you should know that this could also be a booty call, but if his drunken texts and calls comprise of him blurting out, “I miss you, I love you,” then he’s probably not lying.

Remember, a drunk man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts. But, make sure that what he says drunk gets a sober confirmation. [Read: 14 surefire signs a guy thinks you’re smoking hot!]

#9 He’s jealous. So, you went out last night and now there’s a picture on Facebook with you and a group of guys. He probably likes the photo, but it’s not because you look hot. He’s liking it out of jealously. He doesn’t want you to be with other guys, flirting with them, and potentially hooking up. That’s not what he wants, he wants you.

#10 He asks you for pictures. No, not the naked ones. The ones where you’re wrapped in a blanket, looking like a chipmunk, or a photo of you eating breakfast. He wants to see you as you are, natural. This makes him remember those moments when he would wake up beside you. These photos fuel his imagination of being with you.

#11 He has sudden bursts of anger. Maybe you have been chatting. Then, all of a sudden, he’s annoyed or angry at you for reasons you’re unsure of. Listen, there’s a reason why he’s angry. Perhaps he just realized he still has feelings for you, and he wishes he could be next to you. I know, it’s weird, but he’s angry because he misses you.

#12 Going down memory lane. Maybe on his Facebook he’s been posting songs that you two would listen to or liking photos from a couple years ago. He’s definitely going down memory lane, and he’s really missing you.

I mean, there’s no other reason he’d sit at your computer going through photos from when he had bleached blonde hair, and you had braces.

#13 He’s overjoyed when he sees you. This is a normal reaction for anyone. Remember those times where you’ve run into a friend from high school? You’re ecstatic. However, since you two had an intimate relationship, those feelings will probably be amped. I mean, he misses you and when he sees you, every emotion and memory comes flooding back to him. He can’t stop smiling and looking at you, he missed you. [Read: Does he miss me? 12 clear signs he stills thinks about you often]

#14 He’s all about the interrogation. He’s not going to shine a lamp in your face and bring out his notepad, but he is going to casually ask you about your personal life. Are you dating anyone, etc.? If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t ask. But he wants to know your situation, see if there’s an opportunity for him to slip back into your life.
