Does he miss you? Find out what the signs say ...
By Caroline Grossmann — Last updated on Feb 15, 2023
Any woman who's ever dated any man knows just how difficult it can be to get a guy to admit how he feels, especially when they're too shy to admit to their most vulnerable feelings. This can be tough when you want to know if he misses you.
Men are conditioned to think they can't express any sort of emotion or they'll pretty much be stripped of their masculinity, as it is.
If you want to know if a guy misses you, be aware that if a man was born under one of the more stubborn or sensitive zodiac signs, it can be even harder for him to own up to feelings he thinks may portray him as being weak.
One of the hardest things for many a man to admit is when he misses you. And while sometimes it's beneficial for women to be the more emotional ones, in times like these, it's just frustrating to sit around constantly wondering, "Does he miss me?"
Some men, born under more expressive sun signs, are more straightforward and can freely admit how they feel. Others express their emotions through their actions. And others need you to make the first move before they'll admit to feeling anything at all.
To figure out how each zodiac sign misses you and which category the man you're thinking about belongs to, read on to learn what astrology reveals about his most deeply hidden emotions.
How to know if he misses you, based on his zodiac sign
If an Aries man misses you
Aries is extremely competitive by nature, so any sort of threat to his victory will make him feel insecure. An Aries man shows that he's missing you through his impending jealousy.
If he thinks you're talking to another guy, he will make it known that he's not happy about it.
Aries wants you all to himself, so even if he's too proud to admit that he misses you, he's not too proud to show that he's jealous.
When a Taurus man misses you
Although Taurus is devoted to his relationships, he's often too stubborn to admit that he misses you. This is what makes it so difficult to read a Taurus man.
He hates feeling insecure, so oftentimes he'll do what he can to brush off this feeling, but that doesn't mean it disappears altogether.
The best way to know if he's missing you is to see whether or not he's still present in your life. If he misses you, he's going to stick around.
If a Gemini man misses you
Geminis are super difficult to read because their feelings are so inconsistent. One day he's telling you he misses you with complete sincerity and the next day he's ignoring all of your texts.
The truth is he's not lying about either of these feelings, he just can't decide which one he feels most.
In order to know exactly what a Gemini man is thinking, you need to give him the time he needs to realize that he misses you. Because when a Gemini misses you, he'll tell you immediately.
If a Cancer man misses you
Cancer is very emotional, so when a Cancer man misses you it's going to be difficult for him not to show it. The truth is he's more attached to your relationship than he leads on.
It might be hard for a Cancer man to express that he misses you verbally, so he will show this through his actions.
Does he respond to your texts right away? Does he offer to help you with simple tasks? Does he take advantage of every opportunity to see you? If so, he misses you.
When a Leo man mises you
Leo is typically the partner who needs attention at all times.
A Leo man shows he misses you by hinting that he wants attention from you. Although this might be done subtly, it's not very difficult to pick up on.
If he asks you why you haven't responded to his text messages all day or why you haven't returned his phone calls, this means he misses you. In fact, he's probably wracking his brain, wondering if you miss him too.
When a Virgo misses you
Even though a Virgo man is comfortable around you, he still has a shy nature about him.
He's overly critical of himself, so when contemplating whether or not he should tell you how much he misses you, he will shy out of doing it.
in order to know if a Virgo man misses you, you have to take the initiative and admit it to him first. He might not have the confidence to come right out and say it even when he really does!
If a Libra man misses you
Libra is a very social person and he can't stand being alone, so he probably misses you even more than you miss him.
The great thing about a Libra man is that he values honesty, truth, and fairness. This means that if he misses you, he's going to be straightforward and tell you. No subtweets on social media.
He's not one to sugarcoat the truth, so it's important for him to put his feelings on the table. If you miss him, you should be honest and tell him. He'll appreciate it more than you realize.
When a Scorpio misses you
One of Scorpio's most prominent traits is his passion. In fact, the best way for him to express how he feels is through passionate gestures.
He's a very secretive person, so if a Scorpio man misses you, the truth is that he's probably not going to admit it. But, you'll know that he does by his inability to hide the passion that he has for you.
If Scorpio is still making moves on you, he misses you.
If a Sagittarius man misses you
When it comes to his relationships, Sagittarius is threatened by clingy partners who constrain him to a serious relationship.
If you're showing a Sagittarius man that you miss him, he's going to pick up on it easily.
It's important to give Sagittarius the space he needs to figure out how he feels, otherwise, he will run off. It might take him some time, but when Sagittarius starts to miss you, he's going to be honest and tell you — just be patient.
When a Capricorn misses you
Capricorn takes a serious approach to absolutely everything in his life and he has a ton of self-control, so it's not hard for him to hold in what he's feeling.
Because he's so stubborn, a Capricorn man is probably waiting for you to be the first one to admit your feelings.
It's going to be difficult, but you need to be the bigger person and say that you miss him first. If you're too nervous to do this, just come right out and ask him how he feels. He might be stubborn, but he's also honest.
If an Aquarius man misses you
Aquarius is one to run away from any sort of emotional expression, so this makes it hard for him to admit that he misses you.
An Aquarius is one of the most emotionless of all zodiac signs. But they're also the weirdest.
The best way to find out if an Aquarius man misses you is to take note of the way he talks about you.
If he mentions you in his future plans, talks about your past and present relationship, or takes interest in your life, he definitely misses you. It's hard for him to talk about his feelings, but it's not hard for him to feel.
When a Pisces man misses you
Pisces is one of the most emotional and romantic signs.
The great thing about this is that there's no wondering about whether or not a Pisces man misses you, because chances are he's already told you that he does, and probably more than once.
A Pisces will never keep you up until the middle of the night, losing sleep over whether or not his feelings are returned.
Pisces never covers up his feelings, so if he's missing you, he's going to say it.
