To sign 'I miss you', form your dominant hand into a '1' handshape with your index finger extended. Bring the tip of your index finger to your chin and press it gently against your chin. While you can add the signs for 'I' and 'you', simply signing 'miss' while looking directly at the person often conveys the full meaning.
Sign 'I', then 'MISS' by pressing your index finger to your chin, and 'YOU'. Use a longing or sad facial expression to convey 'so much'.
Sign 'YOU', 'MISS', and then point to yourself for 'ME'. Remember to raise your eyebrows throughout the sentence to indicate a yes/no question.
First establish the context by signing 'YOU LEAVE', then sign 'I MISS YOU'. This follows the typical ASL topic-comment structure.

Not necessarily! In ASL, context often makes the subject and object clear. If you are looking directly at the person you are talking to, simply signing 'MISS' with the right facial expression is usually enough to mean 'I miss you.'
No, ASL uses different signs for different meanings of the English word 'miss.' The index finger to the chin is specifically for missing a person or place emotionally. Missing a bus or an event uses a completely different sign.
You can emphasize the sign by holding the index finger to your chin a bit longer, pressing slightly harder, and using a strong facial expression that shows deep longing or sadness. You can also add the sign for 'MUCH' afterwards.
