The time we spend together is meaningful and memorable. But, time spent apart is just as important. This article is about how missing someone is crucial to make someone realize how much they like having you around. See I struggle here because I prefer to spend every waking moment with my significant other.

There’s a fine line here though because out of sight, out of min plays a role in cheating. So make him miss you to the point that he won’t cheat by leaving constant reminders of yourself.

Own a signature scent. They say that scent recognition is right next to the memory section of your brain. Have your “smell” and spray it on the bed-even his clothes!

Leave a little something behind – this trick has the potential to give you the opportunity to see him again, remind him of you, or completely turn him off it it’s too obvious. I left my whole purse once except for my cell phone and wallet. He was very annoyed.

However, a strategic leave-behind is a common tactic to occupy your lover’s thoughts. A ring is a symbolic leave-behind, and so is a single earring. As part of a pair, an earring is represents temporary separation, and hints at re-uniting down the road.

Make your stamp on something –This is called the girl adjustment or the woman’s touch. I’m not talking about all things pink, leaving your toothbrush, and adding a potted plant like Kate Hudson in How to Lose a guy in 10 days.

Make a memorable observation or comment –Music is the obvious one here-I have ruined songs for shawn as he has for me because all I think about is him when I hear Oasis. If you take the time introducing him to all the music you love, he will inevitably think of you next time  he hears that song.

This technique I like to call “Branding”. Brand yourself on your lover’s mind and they’ll think of you even when they return to those venues without you.

Ill often mention things I don’t even like just to get him to remember me.
