Hey there! If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been searching for the perfect way to tell your boyfriend how much you miss him. I’ve been there too—seriously, I had a long-distance relationship with someone I met online when I was 20.
I know, sounds kinda crazy, right? But back then, we had everything to make it work. Unfortunately, it didn’t (maybe I’ll write a post about it someday if you’re interested—let me know lol).
But hey, just because it didn’t work out for me doesn’t mean it won’t for you! When you’re miles apart, showing interest matters a lot, and a simple “Hey babe, I miss you” text can make all the difference. If you’re looking for inspiration, I’ve got you covered with some ready-to-use messages that will make him feel special.
Messages to Show Him You Miss Him
Alright, here we are! But before we dive in, do yourself a favor—SAVE THIS POST so you’ll always have access to new updates and fresh messages.
Oh, and just a heads-up: you can totally copy and paste these texts as they are, but I highly recommend personalizing them a little. That way, it’ll feel more natural and even more special for your long-distance boyfriend.
Now, let’s get to it—hope you find the perfect message! And if you like them, drop a comment! I always try to reply fast, even if I’m a little slow sometimes lol.
1. “I miss you so much right now 😔. If teleportation was real, I’d be in your arms already!”
Honestly, why haven’t scientists figured this out yet?! This text keeps it simple and sweet but still makes him feel special. Pro tip: If you want to make it more flirty, add “What’s the first thing you’d do if I magically appeared next to you? 😉” and see how he responds.
2. “Counting down the days until I can finally hug you again 🤗. Feels like forever!”
This is great for keeping the excitement alive. Long-distance can feel endless, so having something to look forward to makes it easier. If you already have a date set to see each other, try adding, “Only [X] more days… but who’s counting? (Me. I’m definitely counting.)”
3. “I just saw something that reminded me of you, and now I can’t stop thinking about how much I miss you ❤️.”
This is such an easy way to make him feel loved because it shows that he’s on your mind even during random moments. You can make it more personal by mentioning what you saw, like “I walked past that coffee shop we love, and I swear I could hear your laugh in my head.”
4. “Wish you were here to cuddle with me 🥺. Nothing feels the same without you.”
This one is soft, intimate, and just the right amount of clingy in a cute way. Guys love knowing they’re missed physically, not just emotionally, so texts like this make him feel extra wanted. If you want to tease him a little, add “Also, my blanket game is weak… definitely not as warm as you.”
5. “I know we’re miles apart, but my heart still feels so close to you. Miss you like crazy!”
Long-distance can be tough, but reminding him that your connection is still strong helps. If you’re feeling a little sentimental, you can follow up with “Sometimes I forget you’re not right here with me because I still feel you in everything I do.”
6. “Missing you is officially my full-time job… when’s my vacation with you? 😂💕”
A little humor keeps things light and playful. If you both love traveling, this can also hint at planning your next visit, which is always a great way to stay excited about the relationship.
7. “Just laying here, wishing you were next to me. My bed feels way too big without you 😩.”
This sets the perfect cozy, romantic mood. He will imagine being there with you, which is exactly what you want. If you want to make it more flirty, add “And let’s be real, I need you here to steal all the blankets so I can pretend to be mad at you.”
8. “They say absence makes the heart grow fonder… well, my heart might just explode at this rate 😅. I miss you too much!”
This one is cute and dramatic in the best way. Perfect if you want to express how hard it is being apart but still keep it lighthearted. You could also add, “Any chance you could speed up time so I can see you sooner? No? Ugh, rude.”
9. “Every time I see couples together, I just wish it was us. Can’t wait until we’re side by side again ❤️.”
Sometimes, missing him hits extra hard when you see happy couples everywhere. This text lets him know you wish he was there without making him feel guilty. If you want to make it cuter, add “Until then, I guess I’ll just keep third-wheeling my own life.”
10. “I don’t just miss you… I miss your hugs, your kisses, your voice, and the way you make me laugh 🥰.”
The details make this one feel extra special. Instead of just saying “I miss you,” listing what you miss makes it more real and personal. If you want to take it further, add “But mostly, I just miss being wrapped up in you.”
11. “If missing you burned calories, I’d be a fitness model by now 😂. Can you hurry up and come back?”
This keeps it fun and flirty, which is great if you don’t want things to feel too sad. Guys love texts that make them laugh, so playful messages like this help keep the vibe light even when you’re missing each other.
12. “Wish I could send myself in a package and have you open the door to me instead of this text 📦😜.”
This is so playful and unexpected, which makes it even cuter. Imagining you showing up at his door is an instant mood-booster. You could even say “Overnight shipping available? Because I really can’t wait.”
13. “I miss your face. I miss your laugh. I miss your arms around me. Basically… I just really, really miss YOU ❤️.”
Simple, sweet, and straight to the point. Listing out what you miss makes it more personal, and ending with “you” brings it all together perfectly. If you want to add a little humor, throw in “Even your bad jokes. And you know how much I usually roll my eyes at those.”
14. “Some people say long-distance is hard, but loving you makes it worth every second. I miss you, baby 😘.”
This one is deep and reassuring. Sometimes, guys worry about how hard the distance is, so texts like this remind him you’re in it for the long haul. If you want to make it extra meaningful, follow up with “We’ll be together soon, and that’s all that matters.”
15. “I swear, my pillow is trying its best, but it’s just not the same as sleeping next to you 😩💤. Can you come fix this problem?”
Guys love knowing they’re missed in a physical way, and this one playfully hints at that without being too intense. If he responds with “I’d fix it if I could,” you can tease him by saying, “Well, you better hurry up and try.”
16. “I just heard a song that reminded me of you, and now I’m sitting here smiling like an idiot 🎶😊. Miss you!”
Music brings back memories, and this text makes him wonder what song it was. You could even send him the link and say, “This one made me think of you… now your turn. What song reminds you of me?” It’s a great way to start a cute convo.
17. “Missing you is officially my least favorite hobby. Can we switch to ‘spending every second together’ instead? ❤️”
This one mixes humor with affection and makes him think about how much better things are when you’re together. If you want to tease him, follow up with, “Or at least give me a refund for all this suffering.”
18. “I just realized I talk about you way too much. My friends are probably tired of hearing me say, ‘My boyfriend this, my boyfriend that…’ 😂. But what can I do? I miss you!”
This makes him feel like the center of your world, which he’ll love. If you want to keep the fun going, ask him, “Be honest, do you do the same?” and see if he confesses.
19. “My arms feel empty without you here. I think they officially have separation anxiety 😢. I miss my favorite cuddle buddy!”
This is cute, cozy, and makes him imagine being in your arms again. If he’s the touchy-feely type, he’ll love this one. If you want to make it even sweeter, add “Hurry up and come fix this!”
20. “Being apart from you is giving me serious FOMO. Like, what if you’re having fun without me?! 😤😂”
Guys love a little playful jealousy, as long as it’s lighthearted. This one keeps things flirty and fun while making it clear you wish you were there. If he plays along and says, “I’m miserable without you,” that’s your cue to say, “Good answer.”
21. “If missing you was a sport, I’d be winning gold medals by now. 🏆 But honestly? I’d rather just be in your arms.”
This text starts playful but ends romantic, making it the perfect mix of fun and affectionate. If he replies with, “Then I guess I need to fly over and give you your prize,” you know he’s hooked.
22. “I just scrolled through our old pictures and now I’m smiling like a fool. Can we make new ones soon? 😍”
This one is a great way to reminisce and subtly drop hints about seeing each other soon. If you want to take it a step further, send him a favorite pic and say, “This one still makes me melt.”
23. “I may not be next to you, but I hope you can still feel how much I love and miss you every single day. ❤️”
This is deep and reassuring, perfect for when you want him to know that no matter how far apart you are, your love is strong. If he’s having a rough day missing you too, this will definitely lift his mood.
24. “Can I fast-forward time so we can be together again already? Because this long-distance thing is getting old 😩.”
Simple, honest, and super relatable for an LDR. If he’s missing you too, he’ll definitely agree and maybe even start planning your next visit.
