Just about everyone has encountered a very meaningful relationship in their life, until something unexpectedly happens -- like your boyfriend wanting his own space that caused you both to break up.
There can be many reasons why, all of a sudden, a boyfriend may want his space. It could have something to do with insecurities, commitment fears, family issues, etc.
To address "how to get my ex back", here are a few tips when a boyfriend ask for more space:
You shouldn't lose your pride, or for that fact allow him to take you for granted when you're still in love with him.
Sometimes love can compromise the better you and create an ugly side when letting emotions fly off the handle -- so take heed and take control of your emotions and think before you act, or you will lose him forever.
The best thing you can do right now is simply play hard to get, just enough to show him that it was his loss and not yours..
If you feel as though your ex boyfriend still loves you, then perhaps striking up a conversation may be the ideal thing to do, so talk to him.
But, keep the communication limited enough to avoid any drama that might come out of it.
Don't go overboard with text messages, keep it short and make this an once in awhile thing. The same holds true for phone calls and online conversations, keep them brief.
If this communication is handled correctly, this could make him realize how much he wants to continue being a part of your life; just don't engulf him with you being there, because he may truly want and need his space.
If he has feelings for you, then after a while he will begin to show signs of interest in you. When that happens this will give you both the chance to reminisce together. The primary focus should be all of the wonderful memories that you both shared together in your past relationship.
When rekindling the relationship take precaution not to bring up any bad or negative experiences that may conjure ill feelings and throw all your efforts out the window.
If on the other hand your ex boyfriend isn't showing a positive response to your subtle and slow advances, then you need to back off and take it for what it really is.
This could mean one of two things: (1) He's simply not interested in you anymore, or (2) he truly does need his space and you should respect that and leave things as they are.
But if the opposite occurs where he's showing some interest in you (more so than before) or is slowly but surely warming up to you, then continue your gradual advancement to rekindle the relationship with him.
Try opening your heart to your ex only when he gives you the right signals.
During that time, you can show him your feelings but keep from appearing needy and desperate when heading down this road.
Once your ex shows that he's thinking about rekindling the relationship, take that time to be perfectly open with him.
But if all the signals point in a different direction, then the best thing to do is step off and allow things to develop naturally.
These are the initial steps that will get the ball rolling on "how to get my ex back if he wants more space." Others have used these proven-to-work steps in similar cases, after losing the love of their life, but only when using them correctly.
