Does the idea of your partner missing you and wanting more quality time together sound appealing? Read on for straightforward tips to create that feeling.
Bring the Fun Back into Your Relationship
When you’ve been in a relationship for a while, it’s natural for the “routine” to set in. You go through the same motions day after dayโworking, cleaning, cooking, repeat. This sameness can get boring and make both partners numb to each other’s company.
The solution? Liven things up by infusing more fun! Look for new activities, hobbies, or challenges you can enjoy together. This novelty breaks the monotony and reminds you why being a couple is so exciting. Relive those feelings of first getting to know each other.
Tantalize His Sense of Smell
While physical appearance matters, scent may have an even more powerful pull. We associate aromas with strong emotions and memories, even from childhood.
If you can find a signature perfume, lotion, or essential oil that he adores, he’ll link that smell to the happy times you share. Even catching a whiff of it when you’re not around can make him miss your presence intensely.
Leave Him Wanting More
How a date ends really sticks in the mind. Wrap things up on a high note full of appreciation, affection, and maybe even some flirty suspense. Thank him genuinely for the beautiful time. If comfortable, share a long, sensual kiss goodbye.
You could also go for a “cliffhanger” – leaning in for a kiss but pausing just before and whispering something like “I want to kiss you so badly…but we’ll have to wait.” Building that anticipation makes him yearn for your next meetup.
Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
While together time is excellent, psychologically, we all need some independence too. Encourage your partner to spend quality “me time” every so often doing solo hobbies or hanging with friends. Don’t take it personally – that space actually allows missing feelings to surface.
Keep Him Chasing a Little
In the early dating stages especially, let your guy take the lead on texting first sometimes. Of course, you’ll usually chat back and forth. But by not always initiating, you’re subconsciously reminding him of his desire to pursue you.
Get a Little Flirty over Text
Speaking of texting, keep the playful romantic energy alive even after becoming an established couple. Send surprising compliments about how attractive he looks. Make suggestive comments hinting at your desire for intimacy later. This keeps passion simmering even from afar.
Live Your Best Life
Finally, continue pursuing your hopes, dreams and independence. When you feel confident and fulfilled as an individual, it makes your partner want to bask in that bright, self-assured energy. Don’t stagnate – keep evolving!
In long-term relationships, efforts to keep things exciting sometimes slip. But with some simple, fun adjustments, you can absolutely reignite those euphoric “missing” feelings between visits. What matters most is that shared affection and spark. What techniques help you most experience that?ย
