When two people decided to go on separate way one is left without a choice.
It is unfair that way, as if he is the only person involved with this relationship you both built.
In your part you need to know that there are ways to make him change his mind.
There are options to choose from so don't be sad.
Everyone needs someone who has the power to really understand his feelings.
If he told you he needs time, then give him the time.
If he wants space, stay away from him until such time you are both ready to talk.
Respect what he needs at the moment.
Do not be afraid calling him.
Though you don't want to look the desperate type it is nice to still hear from you ex boyfriend.
You may even leave notes to remind him that you are still there.
Calling him more than you should will make him feel reluctant with you.
Don't date anyone.
Even if there are a lot of guys that surrounds you and wants your time.
You are trying to win him back so you need to let him know you are still single.
This will make your plan go to waste.
Analyze what he needs and what you need to work out.
Figure out what he wants.
If you turned him off then make it up to him.
If you have forgot to appreciate him.
You changed from good to bad.
Try to be the person he dreams of.
Pay attention with the way he acts.
If he still tells good things about you then it means he is still into you.
If news comes to you that he says bad things behind your back then he is really decided with his choice.
You need to focus on your willingness to have him back.
It is hard to make things working especially now that you are no longer connected.
Unlike before you can able to communicate about the thing that bothers you.
You also need to hold close with your heart because that is the only thing that pushes you to go on.
