When hardships beckon, pull yourself out of the taken-for-granted rut, and add some zest and tang into your relationship. We tell you how to make your boyfriend miss you like crazy, so that the burning flames never blow out.
Sometimes, when distress takes effect over me, and I’m stuck in a never-ending groove, the bizarreness of relationships reverberates in my mind, and I’m forced to question the existence of perfect relationships. It’s bewildering to think that because you have been with him for three long years now, lived-in for a year and a half, your parents know him in-and-out, you’re tempted to believe that your relationship is a perfect example of the Romeo-n-Juliet fantasy, little knowing that time span does not boil down to a healthy relationship. It’s astonishing to realize that when your friends talk about the crests and troughs in your relationship, you seem to brag the years you’ve been together for, more than your love for each other. Well, that doesn’t come as a surprise. No, truly. During the course of time, the starry-eyed you seems to lose the grip over your significant other when adventure becomes a thing of the past, public displays of affection lose edge, romantic dates turn into we-split-bills dinners, and surprises fly out of the window like they just don’t make sense anymore. Flabbergasting? True that.
You know, for once, I might sound like a counselor or a typical veteran, having played the ‘Love Mentor’ for my friends during high school by shelling out canny advice on making your boyfriend miss you. But there’s more I can tell you, from an experience of a debilitated soul, that the key to get him back into your arms is to pull yourself away, for a while, from his. Absence makes the heart go fonder, or so the cliché goes (the cliché sucks, anyway).
Ways to Make Your Boyfriend Miss You
Out of sight, out of mind. I don’t know who instanced this one, but he who did, perhaps, knew how relationships would take a turn as time sweeps. Given the current rundown of relationships, it really isn’t a tough call to see yours dragged into the rut of being taken for granted by your boyfriend quite frequently. He might start thinking that deep down under, you’re not going anywhere, and that this relationship, is secure, whichever way it is. The end result? He won over you, and you lost to him, or so you both think. However, now, take that big step, go backstage, and make yourself unavailable for a while. Let him find you by himself. Don’t make yourself seen. The following ways might come handy.
Friends? Hell Yeah. Boyfriend? No.
Nothing would astonish him more than realizing that, after all these years of spending every weekend partying with him, you’ve decided on picking Angela and Susanna over him to go shopping and partying. Of course he wouldn’t mind that, well I hope he’s not the possessive kinds, but let me tell you, every guy, no matter how liberal and ‘open’ he is in a relationship, cannot do without missing you on a routine, if you disrupt it one fine day. There you dress up for the evening with your girls, and he’s already missing you.
Hello! Voice Mail, Please?
You were the kind who used to put the entire world on hold to attend his call. Not anymore. Pick up his calls, but not every time. Give him an excuse that you were busy, and that you didn’t notice he called. Don’t be too rude or blatant, but tell him you have been occupied. Let him ring you. Talk to him sometimes, but in brief. For once, he’ll wonder what the heck is up with you all of a sudden, but once he realizes that you aren’t that available now, he’ll be left with no other choice but to miss you, and wait till you get back.
Jealousy. It Works in Favor.
Consider it a warning, but with this one, chances are, you’d put your own relationship into danger. But if you and your boyfriend love each other truly, and don’t need to manifest it over and over again, this one works wonders. Tell him that you’re enjoying every moment of your work/school/college. Tell him you’ve found a cool bunch of people who you hang around with. If you think it’ll cause no harm, tell him there’s a cute guy who has been checking you out quite frequently, all in good faith. If this doesn’t make him jealous, I know not what does.
You know, there’s a very thin line between making him miss you and making him feel ignored. He might construe to your unavailability as your lack of interest in the relationship, and may seem to mull over it from a totally different perspective this time. Excessively contrived situations, if gone wrong, lead to tensions in between, and may totally yield unexpected results. Believe me, figuring out ways to make your boyfriend miss you is an easy task, if fairly contrived, since a little absence is healthy for every relationship. And well, since I’m dishing out relationship advice, here I conclude with the last bit – leave a part of yourself with him whenever and wherever you go. Express your feelings to him in extraordinary ways. Leave a written note that you’ll be back, and that you love him. Tell him that you miss him already. And when you’re back, well, you’ll be surprised. Swear.
