Is "thinking about you" a big deal?

Usually yes. People send this text when they want more contact and aren't sure how to ask for it directly. It's a soft signal that they like you. The right response acknowledges it warmly and either deepens the conversation or turns it into plans. Either direction is good. Ignoring it or responding flatly wastes the moment.
