* i miss you/ i miss you too. Le falto que/Le falto también.
* how's your weekend? ¿Cómo es su fin de semana?
* what are you doing? ¿Qué usted está haciendo?
* did you miss me? ¿Usted me faltó?


This is assuming the formal you. If you want to use informal, substitute tu for usted and estás for está. I've never seen the word faltó before; I'm relying on Babel fish, see: http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr

Babelfish is not a good resource for any approximation of how real people talk (meaning no disrespect to the software or to jespah).

I like you/ I like you too.
Caes bien conmigo (literally you fall well with me).
Caes bien conmigo tambien.

((This is a common idiom. When I first met my wife (who is Mexican) she indicated her interest with this phrase. We were dancing and you can understand how I misunderstood this Wink )

You could also use "Te Queiro." but this would only be used when you have an intimate relationship and has some strength in a dating dating context.

I miss you/ I miss you too
"Te extraño." or "Te extraño tambien."

What are you doing
"Que haces?" I never hear the gerund used this way in Spanish.

Did you miss me
Me extrañaste?

Buena Suerte.

I have never heard Caes bien conmigo. Is it perhaps a strictly Mexican idiom?
