0:00
have you ever stared at your phone your
0:02
heart pounding fingers hovering over the
0:04
keys utterly stuck on what to
0:08
say you miss him you really miss
0:13
him so you type "Hey," and send you
0:18
wait nothing you try again i miss
0:23
you still nothing your chest tightens
0:29
did you say the wrong
0:33
thing is he okay is he done with
0:38
you if that sounds familiar you're not
0:43
alone today I'll share one text that
0:46
grabs his attention and pulls him back
0:50
time also discover three simple rules to
0:53
make it work and a sevenstep blueprint
0:55
so you can text with confidence every
1:02
let's start by understanding why most I
1:07
flat when you tell someone I miss you it
1:10
comes from a place of
1:12
need your brain thinks "If I say it
1:15
enough maybe I can get the attention I
1:19
crave." But human brains don't respond
1:25
knee triggers the survival alarm and
1:27
pushes people away they feel pressure
1:36
playground you see a friend building a
1:38
tower of blocks you run up yelling "Play
1:42
me." You grab their blocks to get their
1:45
attention they drop everything and push
1:47
you away to protect their project
1:52
you see that your needy text is like
1:55
pushing their blocks you want connection
1:57
so badly you force it and he
2:01
retreats so how do you flip it how do
2:04
you tap into his brain's reward system
2:09
you the secret lies in three principles:
2:12
praise personalization and curiosity
2:16
praise makes him feel seen
2:19
personalization shows you notice the
2:21
small things curiosity invites him to
2:25
engage when you combine those three you
2:28
create a magnetic pull that feels good
2:29
to him and he'll want to
2:33
reply here's the exact text I want you
2:36
to send when you miss
2:39
him hey I was just thinking about how
2:41
you always know exactly which coffee to
2:43
order for me how do you remember all
2:51
let's break down why this works so
2:54
well first you start with I was just
2:57
thinking about instead of I miss
3:00
you that subtle shift moves you from
3:03
need to appreciation he doesn't feel
3:08
valued second you mention a specific
3:11
detail his perfect coffee order
3:15
specific stick in the brain generic
3:17
praise like your great vanishes in
3:21
seconds but calling out an exact moment
3:23
or habit shows genuine
3:26
attention your brain and his lights up
3:29
when it hears something
3:31
personal third you end with a question
3:34
how do you remember all those little
3:36
details questions spark
3:40
curiosity his brain sees a puzzle hm how
3:44
do I answer this and keep the good vibes
3:47
going and suddenly he's reaching for the
3:50
keyboard instead of ignoring the
3:53
screen but knowing the text is only half
3:56
the battle you also need to follow three
4:02
text one be authentic not
4:07
forced when you write the message
4:09
imagine you're talking to him in person
4:11
don't use fancy words you wouldn't
4:17
keep it conversational and genuine if
4:20
the detail you choose doesn't feel
4:22
completely natural pick another
4:25
one authenticity is the glue that holds
4:35
concise long paragraphs in a text feel
4:38
overwhelming on a small screen your
4:40
message should fit easily in view
4:46
scrolling one or two sentences is
4:48
perfect short sweet and meaningful he
4:52
reads it in a glance and immediately
4:56
respond three pause before you
5:01
send after typing your message wait 2
5:04
minutes before you hit
5:06
send this pause gives you time to make
5:09
sure your tone is warm not
5:12
desperate it also prevents double
5:15
texting that little gap makes the
5:17
interaction feel calm and confident not
5:21
frantic let's see how this plays out in
