What does it mean when a man asks for space?

Question

Dating this guy for 4 months now but nothing official yet. He knows I've already fallen for him but he's not on the same page yet. We talked about it and he said we both needed space. He is scared and not ready for a serious, committed relationship. I dont know what to do about it. I mean, I really like this guy. But what if he never commits?

PS. He said he likes me. It's just that his busy schedule at work is what keeps him from seeing me and giving me his attention. And yeah, he is real busy. Like all the time.

Answer

First of all, I'm sorry you're more invested in a man that he's invested in you.
 
Second, if a man isn't into you, he's never going to be into you. It's time to MoveOn. If the man you're dating doesn't know he wants to be with you, leave!
 
Unfortunately, it's the same with women, if he isn't into you now, he isn't worth your time.

Answer

Every woman should read "He's Just Not That Into You".

'I need space' is a gentle way of saying 'I don't want to be with you'.

Answer

Space means you're crowding him. He's not your boyfriend, you need to disconnect yourself a little and focus on other things. He's in rejection mode right now and pushing you away because he feels smothered. I've never been able to recover from rejection mode but it can be done. Just slow down.

Answer

He knows you have fallen for him and wants to let you down easy by saying you guys need space because he doesn't want to hurt yout feelings. Hes just not that into you

Answer

he is not scared, he just doesn't want to be serious with you.

Answer

There's no confusion here unfortunately, he just doesn't want to date you. But instead of coming out and saying that, he was vague enough so that you'll still give him the attention while getting crumbs.  WALK AWAY. There is a guy out there who'll think you're the best person he's ever met....the guy you're chasing sucks monkey balls and I don't mean the pastry.

Answer

If he wants space then he's just not that into you. Just try and distance yourself because it's very likely he might be looking to break up soon.

Answer

Move on, honey

Answer

I am sorry he said that. All I have learnt so far when it comes to guys, they usually say what they mean/want. So if he says he wants space and he is not ready for a serious relationship, it means exactly that. So you can decide now if you're ok with giving him space and not having a serious relationship yet - or not.

Answer

Start dating other people. Start pulling back. Wanting space and not being ready means there's nothing you can do yo change his mind. In my 20s and early 30s I dated guys for years and finally realized timing means everything.  He likes you. He's just not capable of giving you his heart and isn't ready to fully accept yours
