5 mensajes navideños que recibirás si realmente te echa de menos

Text messaging isn’t exactly the way to go when you want to express your feelings. How many times has it happened to you that you’ve received a text and you had no idea whether to be angry, insulted or to laugh?

It just isn’t the same as when you say something to someone in person. You can’t hear the tone of what they are trying to say, so you end up reading between the lines even though there is nothing to read.

Sometimes you look for hidden meanings where there are no hidden meanings and the other way around. But this intensifies even more around the holidays. You know you’re going to get a text, but you don’t know in what manner.

Entonces, ¿cómo puedes interpretar lo que un chico intenta decirte sin equivocarte?

Is he just wishing you a Merry Christmas like a friend or does his text have an agenda? Maybe he is trying to tell you that he misses you and wants to spend the holidays with you, and you just don’t see it.

The bottom line is, texting is so unpredictable, and you, as we all do, need a guide to help you crack the real meaning behind the text you’ve received.

Lea atentamente los siguientes textos navideños que sin duda significan que realmente te echa de menos:

“You know, I was just at your favorite bar. There was mistletoe everywhere!”

First of all, he remembered what your favorite bar is, which means he listened to you, and second of all, this sentence doesn’t have to do anything with him liking the bar you like.

Sólo quiere animar la conversación y hacerte saber que te echa de menos. Si le preguntas, no hay nada que le gustaría más que llevarte allí y besarte bajo el muérdago.

“I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas.”

Aquí está, el mensaje de texto más ambiguo que puedes recibir durante las fiestas. Porque tanto la gente a la que le gustas como people who don’t like you te enviará este mensaje. ¿Cómo puedes saber quién es quién?

Bueno, un chico al que le gustas dudará a la hora de enviarte el mensaje, así que probablemente tarde un poco en darle al botón de enviar. Por lo tanto, es probable que el texto que más tarde recibas.

Also, you know in your gut that there is something going on between the two of you. Especially, if you know he would never send you something like that or if he doesn’t care that much about Christmas.

Then you can be sure, he likes you and truly misses you, and that’s the reason he sent you this text.

“I’ve heard your ex is going to spend the holidays at home as well.”

Okay, this is not small talk. This is an ‘I miss you and want you back’ alert. You can get the hint of jealousy out of this text, right?

Well, you’re absolutely right. He is jealous, and he’s scared he’ll lose you to your ex since, you know, it’s Christmas. You may well bump into each other at a party just happening to stand beneath the mistletoe and the old flame comes bursting back.

Este es el escenario que está pasando por su cabeza ahora mismo, y créeme, está muerto de miedo. Verás, le gustas mucho y quiere que vuelvas lo antes posible.

“Feeling really lucky I met you this year”

La Navidad es una época de amor y caridad. Queremos pasarla con las personas que nos importan. No sólo con la familia, sino también con los que están cerca de nosotros de otra manera.

So if you get a text like this from someone special read: “I miss you!” because that is what it is really about. He didn’t suddenly realize that he’s glad you’re in his life.

He’s known that for a long time, and now that you’re not around, he wants you to know that. That and that’s he’s hopelessly in love with you and doesn’t want to spend another minute without you in his life.

“We should totally spend next Christmas together.”

This is an ‘I miss you’ alert and not only that! He’s saying he misses you, but he also has already made plans for the future.

This guy is so serious about you, and he really wants to be with you. He’s even probably your forever person. He’s already suggesting what you should do next year.

Sólo las parejas que tienen claro que van a estar juntas dentro de un año hacen ese tipo de planes. Y por lo que parece, él está más que preparado.

Give yourself the best Christmas present ever and let the man who sent texts like these into your heart. You’re not going to be sorry.
