7 mensajes de texto que recibirás si realmente te echa de menos

First things first – texting is not a good way of communication.

You can’t express your tone or the emotion you feel through a text, nor can you read accurately what the other person is trying to say.

You can’t see el lenguaje corporal de la persona que te habla, y las señales del lenguaje corporal suelen decirte incluso más que el propio texto.

You can’t see if they are giggling, laughing or if they are making any kind of facial expressions.

So, it’s not a wonder you are left confused when you get a text from someone you like because you don’t know what it means.

¿Está bromeando? ¿Te está diciendo que te quiere o que quiere un poco de espacio?

When you talk to them in person, you can figure out just from the expression on their face what they really mean by the thing they’ve said.

En resumidas cuentas, hay que leer mucho entre líneas para captar el sentido real del texto que te llega.

You have to get used to the person’s style of texting, how they use punctuation, why they use certain words and so on.

If you’re having a hard time interpreting the text you get, you’re not alone. It’s extremely difficult to read the emotions when you are not in a face-to-face conversation.

Sometimes, when your phone rings and it’s a text from the man you have a history with or you’re in the middle of a thing, you don’t know what he wants and why he’s sending you a text.

To find out for sure whether he texts you because he misses you or it’s something completely different, read the following texts to remove the doubt:

"¿Cómo has estado?"

¿De verdad crees que sólo te manda mensajes para ponerse al día de tu vida sin ninguna intención oculta?

Well, I’ll have to stop you right there and say he has something different in his mind.

He’s texted you because he wants to initiate a conversation. He wants to talk to you because he misses you.

Echa de menos tu presencia y el sonido de tu voz. Quiere tenerte a su lado. Quiere un amigo con quien hablar y un amante a quien amar.

Ha enviado este mensaje sólo para decirte algo, lo que sea, sólo para poner las cosas en marcha.

"¡Hey U!"

This text is a huge disappointment to every girl that gets it. What can you really get from those two little words—if you can call a “U” a word in the first place?

Anyhow, no matter the quality of the text, it’s definitely a sign that you’ve been missed.

Sure, he could think of something more exciting and more whimsical, but you’ve got a ‘hey U’ guy.

Tómelo porque lo que se esconde detrás de esas dos palabras es mucho más importante que lo que dice realmente el texto.

"Acabo de estar en tu restaurante favorito".

First of all, he listens to you. Otherwise he wouldn’t know what your favorite restaurant is. And secondly, he doesn’t give a damn about your favorite restaurant.

He’s just using it as an excuse to enviarte un mensaje . He wants to get the conversation going because after this text will come another one and another one…and you see where this is going.

He’s only trying to find a reason to text you because he misses you.

"He oído que estás saliendo con él".

Está celoso del otro chico. Es evidente que tiene un problema con el hecho de que usted ha seguido adelante, y ahora es sólo un ex novio.

That’s why he wants to know the details about your life to find out whether you still have feelings for him or not.

Sus celos probablemente harán que destroce a tu nuevo novio.

It could be only that or he really misses you and wants you back. Otherwise, why would he express any feelings upon finding out you’re dating again?

"¿Todavía están mis cosas en tu casa?"

Después de romper, quiere recuperar algunas de sus cosas. Normalmente no son nada importante, cosas que puede reemplazar o sin las que puede vivir.

That’s why it’s important for you to know that he is only making excuses to see you again.

Espera, en el fondo, que cambies de opinión sobre la ruptura, y quiere hacer algo al respecto.

You’ll trash your place trying to find anything that connects him with you because if you broke up, you want to move on as soon as possible.

If he contacts you again asking for something else of his, then you’ll definitely know that he is only making excuses to contact you once again. Te echa de menos y quiere que vuelvas.

"Estaba mirando en mi teléfono y encontré una foto de nosotros juntos. Esta me hace sonreír".

Esto sólo puede significar dos cosas.

Either your boyfriend was scrolling on his phone because he was bored (come on, who doesn’t do this) and wants to send it to you to make you smile or he misses you and wants to know if you feel the same.

If you have feelings for him, this will be adorably cute, but if you don’t, then it’s borderline creepy.

An old boyfriend scrolling down his phone looking at your photos? Okay…creepy.

"Deberíamos salir. Ya sabes, como amigos".

Sí, los ex pueden ser amigos, pero si terminasteis las cosas en malos términos, entonces no es una buena idea.

Y si aún quiere que seáis amigos, míralo como un astuto plan para recuperarte.

It’s normal to miss things about each other after a breakup. You’ve been with each other some time, and you’ve gotten used to each other.

Ahora que la relación ha terminado, ambos necesitáis un tiempo para acostumbraros a la nueva situación.

Que te pida salir contigo significa que te quiere de vuelta en su vida bajo cualquier circunstancia.

Now, is it because he wants you back or because he doesn’t know how to cope with separation? That is up to you to decide.

La conclusión es que te echa de menos.
