華人比較含蓄，「我愛你」、「我掛念你」等說話不輕易說出口。相反，外華人會很直接地表達自己的情感，如果你很掛念你的親友或愛人，可直接跟對方說句：I miss you. （我思念你）也可用 I long for you. (我渴望你) 及I am pining for you. (我懷念你) 或者Of course,I do.（當然，我想你了）來表達你的心意。 以下是一個對話的例子，大家參考一下。
Boyfriend: (On phone) Darling, I called because I needed to hear your voice.
男朋友: (電話中)愛人，我打給你是因為想聽你的聲音。
Girlfriend: Well this is it. Anything else?
女朋友 :只是這個嘛，有其他事情嗎？
Boyfriend: Don"t be so cruel. I miss you and can"t wait to see you again. Do you miss me?
男朋友: 別那麼殘忍。我很想你，急不及待想再見你，你想念我嗎？
Girlfriend: What? I only left home two hours ago. I"ll see you at six. Get over it.
