Just what EXACTLY are men saying if they say they need 'space?' This is a line that many women over the history of the world have heard and it has probably infuriated and confused every single one of them.
First things first - there is a chance that he is no longer interested in you if he says he wants space.
This could be his cheap way of ending the relationship for good.
However, there may be a legitimate reason why he needs space.
For instance, he may be really falling hard for you - this scares the hell out of a lot of men.
When this happens, many of them need to step back and take it all in.
He may be having problems within his family that he is keeping quiet about until he is able to tell you the truth.
Who knows what it is? You just know that you want him back and here are some tips to do just that.
Respect That Space - If you crowd him and never let him have the space he wants, chances are you will make things even worse.
He will feel as if you are clinging to him and that he can't breathe.
This won't be putting across the message that you're confident and able to be on your own, either.
Make sure you give him plenty of space.
Occupy yourself by going out with the girls, spending time with your family or even taking some night classes to learn something new.
Here's an important thing as well - you can contact him, just do it very briefly.
Send him a quick text message to let him know that you're running late but wanted to say that you really care for him a lot.
This will let him know that he is not obligated to contact you back, but that you do care for him.
Also, after you've texted him, give it a week before you contact him again.
Improve Yourself - When you improve yourself while your ex boyfriend needs space, you improve the chances that he will come back.
You might want to purchase some new clothes that look really great on you, start working out more often or try your best at moving up the ladder in your career.
There is something irresistible about a woman who has the confidence in herself to do different things - without the help of a man! He will see this and appreciate it! Continue giving him space and doing things which are fun to you - and soon you will see that one of two things happens.
He will start giving you signals that he's ready to pursue the relationship or he will act uninterested.
If he acts uninterested, chances are - he really doesn't want the relationship or things are still happening which are preventing him from getting close to you.
However, if he does display signs that he's ready for the relationship, it has worked! You can feel pretty confident that you've gotten your ex boyfriend back.
