I really am in this age range, not a teenager.
I guess I asked because my BF is not really open emotionally and does not express his feelings for me enough. At least not as much as I'd like. I know we are different this way. He is more closed and cautious. I am more open and free and demonstrative. I guess he would not be with me if he didn't care.

 **Would you be ticked at a one word reply from your BF in an email?**
Not really.
You sent him a funny picture, it doesn't warrant a declaration of feelings or half a page of emotions.
My husband would probably have sent a "LOL" reply - no more.
THE intentions was to make him smile, yes?
OR did you send the picture and "I miss you" to make him say "Miss you too"?
If it was the latter, maybe a funny picture wasn't the best way to go about it.
I do think you are over reacting. And well, not acting your age.

 No. In your age range, I'd be thankful that he is so nice to answer back with his one word comment, rather than getting annoyed for having been probably been distracted / interrupted during work / social stuff / meals / whatever by some inanity that could have easily waited until we'd meet in person.

No. What a silly thing to get all worked up over.
Are you actually in the 36-40 age range? This question sounds like something a teen would have written.

 nope not at all.
sometimes my husband and I don't even respond to emails from each other at all.
do you say "miss you" to get him to say "miss you back"
what else is going on that this is bothering you?

 Men, overwhelmingly, answer as short as possible and I have texts with my wife to prove it. So there is nothing to be ticked about that. What ticks you, I think, is that your BF is not good at the art of textual flirting and responding in ways that would tickle your fancy. You feel irritated that he is misunderstanding the intent of your text and interpret his answers as though he is putting a damp on your excited intent and so you see the outcome as a tick. However, maybe he hasn't figured that out or interprets that differently so you may want to suggest that you two try working on some textual flirtation. In general, studies show that the appearance and perception people make over textual media of others is vastly different from how those people appear in person. Based on this statistic, I venture to say that your man is totally different in person than via texts.
