Ex boyfriend needed his own space and now seems confused between "just friends" and being a couple?

My advise would be that if you're willing to give it a try, lay all your cards in front of him and let him decide, plain black and white.

These "you are in it, but you're not at the same time" kinda games are very complicated and sometimes one gets hurt in the process. Hopefully you can deal with it nicely and whenever he's ready, things end up in good terms, for good or for bad; but in most of the cases it doesn't and someone gets hurt. Most likely he's still struggling to make up his own mind between you and his goals, but in the meantime, he's still with you; a pretty convenient situation, at least for him. Once he decides, you may end up with or without him. You don't know.

Has he reached his goals? How much "space" does he need?

Also, if he cannot see all you're trying to do for both of you, he's not worth your time or energy, you just need another type of guy or someone that has his sh*t together. Or you can play the game. It all comes down to for how long can you take this girlfriend-but-not-girlfriend situation.

99% of the times, relations "are", or "are not". There are very few times that they can be a shade of gray.

He asked for some space so let him have it, if your available and he wants you back, believe me he will let you know.

He asked for space to figure himself out. No one says you have to wait or prove your love. Move on.

let him go..once they ask for space....give it to him..and lots of it..the minute you take him back he will be playing this "I need space" game with you everytime he sees another attractive available female..he will realize that you will always be available for him and will take you for granted...

"if he breaks up with you and you love him, let him go...if he comes back, yo know it was meant to be..."

tell him flat out to get over it and grow up!

let him go and if he comes back then it was meant to be...

show him you want him back!
