Why would my ex need space two months after he dumped me?

My ex dumped me and now two months later still says he needs space/time.
He said he doesn't want to lose me, nearly cried when he said this. I recently suggested I think it'd be fun if he joins me to go to my horse. He agreed and said he would like to and we could go sometime soon only to follow up a week later saying how he needs time. Vague, but ok. I just don't understand why he would still need more space, I don't want to get back together and made this known to him, because he has some growing up to do but I do still love him and care for him. Since I felt he was playing games I blocked him.
