He says he wants me. When? A second chance?

Hello Beachbum

Your Matt is still suffering from the emotional trauma of a break up. As you probably know yourself it doesn't go away quickly or easily. One smart thing he is saying is the part about needing space, I couldn't agree more! Even though you are dying to see and talk to him, you really need to back off and play it cool! Both of you need to think things thru, decide how things should be different if and why you do get back together.

Another tactic to try is to send him a letter (not a text message or email). In the letter write that you agree with the breakup, that it is a good idea. Even smarter to say that it was something that you had been considering yourself for awhile. That's it, don't go into detail and don't contact him.

That letter will get him to start changing his thinking about you. After all, people want what they can't have. He will realize that he can't just snap his fingers and you'll come running!
So, play it cool and when he does contact after the letter, take things slowly. Don't act too eager or excited.

Give him time to realize that he wants you back. Don't call him a lot, if at all.
If you don't call him at all, there's a better chance he'll call you.

i think you should just send him a txt pouring your heart out. tell him your true intentions and how you wished you would have carried them through. if he loves tou enough, he will understand and give you a second chance.
good luck :)
