If a man asks for space from the beginning of a relationship is it because he's not that into the woman?

I told my mate that I needed a lot of space in the beginning.  I just prefer to have quiet time for me.  It's been 7 years and he still gives me the space that I want and need.

Depends on the man. Is he married?  If so, he's probably using you.  If he isn't. yes, we can love you.  But do we have to be absolutely committed to you to love you?  Commitments are tough for men to handle.

It means she has met another guy. She wants "space" because she wants to be free to date, yet keep you on the string in case the new guy turns out to be a jerk. She can play around and still have the security of  you. Dump her.

have you talked to this guy about taking it to the next step? Maybe it's time for you to both sit down and discuss where you both want to see where this relationship will lead you to. If what he's offering at the end of the line is not want you want, then its time for you to re-consider the relationship.

No I don't think thats a good excuse...\nThere's a whole chapter in "He's just not that into you" called "He's just not that into you if he's not calling you"\nBasically it says that if a guy really liked you, he would want to call you because you would brighten up his day.  Be a break in his busy hectic day.  That with speed dialing and cellphones he should have at least 3 minutes in his day to return your call, even if its just to let you know "Hey, sorry I've been busy, I've been meaning to get back to you, can we talk more [state a time when he will set aside for you]"\nI say don't call him, see what he does.

Why should you wait?  He is not waiting, I am sure.  Give him all the space he needs and move on.  You don't need this kind of turmoil.

Because a guy didn't amke a move for intimacy, she thinks you're either not interested or are too chicken to take that step\n\nThat boat has sailed my friend.

It`s a con.He`s having problems with his current relationship or in between women and is trying to fill the gap. Do what you must but be wary,out of the blue,huh? Hope the best for you. There are some decent men out there and I would bet you are a nice person so don`t settle for a drifter.(user)

GET PERMISSION THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS THERE TO BE RESENTMENT AND TENSION WHEN YOU START A NEW RELATIONSHIP. ONLY OTHER PROBLEM IS IF HE'S LEAVING SOON YOU MAY NOT END UP WITH A REAL RELATIONSHIP BUT A KINDA SPACE FILLER TILL HE LEAVES

No, it's not wrong. We all get to this level differently.I would just be honest with him. He won't have a problem waiting longer if he's truly into you. It's called communication and if you can't discuss these small things what's going to happen when you run into the really big ones?

Well that all depends on how long yall have been apart because of him needing space. If it has been longer than a month then I would say cut him loose. It shouldn't take him that long to figure out what he wants. Don't sit around and wait on him cause that's all he wants you to do. Also if you are not in love with him, then why are you with him in the first place. I have come to find out that relationship's don't work out if you just love the person and not in love with them.

Contemporary male wisdom is to "keep her wanting more". Hopefully, he is just trying to get you more interested in him by keeping his distance. Is it working?\n\nIf it is much longer than a week, I would probably try to contact him. If you get no response, you should probably move on.

He has already told you he wasn't asking you out for his personal reasons.The reason will probably still be there .He may be going to see someone he is long distance relationship with .Let it go because he may be just seeing if you'll be waiting for him to ask . Even if he does ask , he didn't for a REASON at first and sounds like head games.

He might just not be that into you. If he's not ready, he's not ready. You cannot force it; otherwise it will end.

He may not be interested or just likes to have control of the relationship and if so....you dont need a control freak

You are a minnow in a big pond, an inconsequential thing that he might consider if it is convenient.  He perceives your offer is right on the edge of inconsequential.  Now if it looked like you could be very valuable to him, you would have a higher priority.  Right now, he's got piles and piles of things to juggle space and time for, almost all being more valuable than you.  Figure out an advantage (to him) or blow it off.  He's not lying, he's just busy and your value isn't perceived as high enough to merit nailing down the time and effort.  Sorry.  It's like dating a gorgeous woman who can have almost anyman she wants, why would she want you?  You've got to be worth it to her somehow.  This is different from desperate plain Jane's--right now you are behaving like the deseparate plain Jane who is mad that some guy who smiled at you hasn't called.

Some people feel that they are getting too attached too quickly because they had just ended a relationship or they are afraid of a one way street commitment... in this case, I would just ask him what he thinks of the relationship.  Does he consider you guys friends or dating... sometimes you have to put the question on the table and cut out the bullcrap
