Have I ruined my chances with this guy by asking for space?

A guy came to my office in September for a business meeting.
over the last few months we have got on well, flirted a lot and he really pursued me and was a bit needy if I didn't reply straight away.

He is very confident whereas I am quite shy.

In October we met for a date. On this occasion there was only a peck on the lips. We started to text each other goodnight/good morning, and would speak on the phone occasionally - even phoned when he was away on business in Spain and Denmark. He always joked asking whether I was falling in love with him yet.

In November we went for dinner - we both agreed we hated playing games (his last girlfriend never replied to any messages and she turned out to be quite horrible). I stayed the night and we both agreed we had a lovely night and he said he wanted to see me again. We didn't text as much and he said in one of them 'hopefully talk to you soon'. One night we both didn't text goodnight and I told him the next day I was sad and a little disappointed and I missed it. He said he had checked his phone a couple of times during the night but assumed I was just giving/wanting space. When I pulled him up for it - he said my reaction was a little uncool.

I told him I adored him and he really really likes me. He also said he felt very in control of our relationship at the moment and that I never give him a chance to miss me as I always reply to texts or phone calls (which confused me as he said he hated his ex not doing that and he always replies to them too!).

I told him then that I felt I needed no contact from him for a week. I told him I wasn't dumping him ( In my mind I just wanted to try and gain some control back in the relationship). He said he wasn't happy with this and he was only thinking no contact for an afternoon or day at the most. I said it would be a good thing as I had a busy week and so did he and I needed to do this.

The problems is two days later I really miss him and so I text him at 11.30 last night saying 'hello. It appears that a week is too long. I miss hearing you talk about yourself ;-) x

So far I've not heard from him (he was on his Christmas night out last night). I don't want to text him again as I don't want him to think I'm stalking him or something but I can't stop thinking about him. If I don't hear from him do I just leave it or try contacting him again.

Have I screwed things up by asking for space?

Thanks

I don't know that you've screwed it up forever. But he might think you've sent him a confusing mixed message by asking for a week's space, then changing your mind two days later.

Theoretically it's possible, but I'd wait at least a week or week and a half before really worrying. Maybe send him another text Saturday or Sunday.
