My advice? A group picture text to a few friends. A selfie of you in a beautiful party dress/party ready with the caption "Wishing everyone a fabulous 2016!"
It does a few things 1. Keeps it "distanced" as it's a group text and he won't see it as you sending him a picture but more of the "electronic" version of a New Year's card.
2. It revs his mind to finally "SEE" you (but you don't have to see him & have emotions going crazy) men are usually very visual and a pic of you happy/dressed up might ignite something.
3. It shows him some of your changes without saying "look how I've changed"
