I've taken you at face value, you just missed each other? No real deep feelings, just a question of missing each other? - annierats, Jan 1, 2012

missed meaning "I expected to see you at the café, but you weren't there." - mstivers
Esta mañana te eché de menos en el café.

Kiwi, I was just about to write that too. Simple but understandable. No time yet to echar de menos.. - annierats, Jan 1, 2012

Hi stiver, happy new year
What did you mean by missed?

Normal Englsih for just not meeting up, too late, too early, whatever, we missed each other. Mistiming, rather than echar de menos which is heartfelt.. - annierats, Jan 1, 2012
if you see what Imean? - annierats, Jan 1, 2012
Not missed in the sense of extrañar; missed meaning "I expected to see you at the café, but you weren't there." - mstivers, Jan 2, 2012
whatever,>-------that is the point, annie, it depends on what exactly he meant - 00494d19, Jan 2, 2012

Wait, "missed" as in you left just as this other person walked in or "missed" as in a longing to see an absent person?
Hmmm, how about: [for the longing to see an absent person]
Te eché de menos en el café esta mañana

So my sense is, I would want to say, Me te perdí al café esta mañana.

It's "perderse" to miss someone in this sense. It might be "te perdí al café" though that ignores the se. I'm not sure.
