7 mensagens de texto que receberás se ele tiver mesmo saudades tuas

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 a linguagem corporal da pessoa que está a falar consigo, e os sinais da linguagem corporal podem normalmente dizer-nos ainda mais do que o próprio 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.

Ele está a brincar? Está a dizer que a ama ou que quer espaço?

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.

Em suma, é preciso ler muito nas entrelinhas para perceber o verdadeiro sentido do texto que se recebe.

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:

"Como tens passado?"

Achas mesmo que ele só te manda mensagens para te pôr a par da tua vida, sem qualquer intenção 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.

Sente falta da tua presença e do som da tua voz. Ele quer ter-te ao seu lado. Ele quer um amigo com quem falar e um amante para amar.

Ele enviou esta mensagem apenas para lhe dizer alguma coisa, qualquer coisa, só para fazer as coisas andarem.

"Ei 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.

Tomem-no porque o que se esconde por detrás dessas duas palavras é muito mais importante do que aquilo que o texto realmente diz.

"Estive agora no teu restaurante preferido."

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 enviar-lhe uma mensagem . 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.

"Ouvi dizer que andas a sair com ele."

Ele tem ciúmes do outro tipo. É óbvio que ele tem um problema com o facto de tu teres seguido em frente e ele ser agora apenas um ex-namorado.

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

É provável que os ciúmes dele o levem a deitar abaixo o teu novo namorado.

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?

"As minhas coisas ainda estão em tua casa?"

Depois de se separarem, ele quer recuperar algumas das suas coisas. Normalmente, não são coisas importantes - coisas que ele pode substituir ou sem as quais pode viver.

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

Ele espera, no fundo, que mude de ideias sobre a separação e quer fazer alguma coisa para o conseguir.

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. Ele sente a tua falta e ele quer-te de volta.

"Estava a ver o meu telemóvel e encontrei uma fotografia nossa juntos. Esta faz-me sorrir."

Isto só pode significar duas coisas.

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.

"Devíamos sair juntos. Tu sabes, como amigos."

Sim, os ex podem ser amigos, mas se as coisas acabaram mal, não é uma boa ideia.

E se ele ainda quiser que sejam amigos, veja isso como um plano astuto para a reconquistar.

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.

Agora que a relação terminou, ambos precisam de algum tempo para se habituarem à nova situação.

O facto de ele pedir para sair contigo significa que te quer de volta na vida dele em todas as circunstâncias.

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.

O que importa é que ele sente a tua falta.
