When He Says He Needs Space - Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back By Pushing His Emotional Hot Buttons
Having remained silent at the time of the breakup, gives you a good start. Just continue giving him the silent treatment and have no contact with him at all. He is expecting you to be calling, emailing and sending text messages in an effort to get him back. By ignoring him and appearing to accept the breakup and move on, you will get his attention in a hurry. He will not feel so confident that you still love him and will be waiting for him to call. To add to his discomfort, go out and have a good time. Occupy yourself with other activities. Join an exercise club or do volunteer work. If you have always wanted to take up a certain hobby, now is a good time to do it.
Since he wanted space, give him more space than he can handle. The more you show him you do not need him, the more he will feel that he needs you. By taking these actions you are beginning to push his emotional hot buttons. By ignoring him and having no contact with him, you are making him feel as if he was the one that was rejected. Men cannot stand to be rejected and you are starting to drive him crazy. Seeing you out having a good time will make him see that he might lose you to some other guy. Since loss is another of his emotional hot buttons, he cannot stand to lose anything he feels is his.
Your ex boyfriend still considers you his and he does not want to lose you. All of these things will combine to make him see how much he still loves you and needs you in his life. This will make him use his hunter instincts and he will begin chasing you again.
