Call your girlfriends and go to the movies. Volunteer at your church. Do whatever you want to do with your time so that he’ll feel special when you’re able to spend time with him.

If he said he might call you tonight, don’t wait around to find out. That’s what cell phones are for. He can reach you while you’re out doing something. And then if he doesn’t call, you didn’t waste a whole night waiting around on him. Then you won’t be mad and he won’t feel the pressure you would have otherwise put on him.

It’s okay to be agreeable, but make sure that you have your own opinions so that people don’t walk all over you.

If you really need him – like in the case of a family emergency – don’t get upset if he doesn’t answer. Leave him a message and give him the opportunity to call you back Calling or texting over and over is a sure way to make your guy annoyed with you and think you are obsessed. [5] X Research source

Remember that you talk to other guys besides him. You are both allowed to interact with other people.

Let him have a night out with the guys. It’ll be good for him to spend some time with his friends and it’ll give him a chance to miss you. Healthy couples don’t spend all of their time together. You need outside interests to keep yourselves sane and happy.

Avoid looking through his cell phone, checking his Facebook, or reading his private emails, no matter how tempting it might be to snoop.

Try calling a friend or finishing your homework. Start on a fun project you’ve been putting off. Or you could even turn on the television to distract yourself.
