In regards to what you said about how much easier it is to write this stuff out...I used to plan out stuff in advance. Especially if I received contact in regards to a specific subject. I would draft sample e-mails or texts and get feedback on here before responding. It does make it easier. If you want to do that, I'm sure people would be more than happy to critique in advance.
As for the part in bold, this is why actions speak louder than words. Your actions need to be those of a friend balanced with making her miss you.
