1. Tell Him Via Text Message How Much You Want Him To Give You Much Attention

If you know your partner quite well, you know what kind of person he is, either he is sensitive or not. If your boyfriend isn’t a type of sensitive man, he will clueless to your codes. Don’t waste your time by getting around the bush, tell him directly. If you know he has been quite busy lately, give him a text message explaining how you feel. Maybe you can start with “Hey, I know you’re busy. I don’t mean to interrupt you or whatever, I just want you to know that I miss you and I want your attention. Please give your time for me too.” Or you can use the similar type of words and adjust it with your boyfriend personalities.

2. If Text Message Doesn't Work Quite Well, Call Him

If he doesn’t respond to your texts, give him a call. Make sure it's the right time to call, not when he is in a meeting or in the middle of doing something. Do it classy and elegantly. When you get the right moment to talk, for instance when he is in a break or relaxing. Don’t get right to it, talk about his day and know his mood. Don’t talk about it when he just had a bad day because it makes him get pressured and stressed out.

3. Have A Video Call With Him

If you’re a type of person who prefers talk heart to heart by seeing his face, then you can have a video call to let him see your facial expression, about how serious it is to have his attention more. But again, make sure when you call him when he is in a good mood and in a relaxed situation. Having a heart to heart conversation can make him understand how you feel. If he really loves you, he will give you what you need, which is his attention.
