Basically, I think mine and my ex's break up has been a huge mistake. I miss him, and I've really taken him for granted.

Its a whole year later and STILL despite not being in contact, my heart races and my face lights up when I see him.

However I've kept on saying things that have only got him angrier with me, so he literally never contacts me. Unless it's Christmas or my birthday.

We've gotten to the point when he said we should keep contact to a bare minimum, which means I literally never see him and we practically never speak.

Tonight, he'd been working, and my sister and I ran into him during his shift (in a store). He waved, but continued on with what he was doing. Then, dropped his pen knife on the floor, so my sister picked it up for him.

I decided to say hi. He seemed cheerful enough? And spoke to us both briefly. Then he started talking about cooking and all the things he made me when we were together adding in 'I am a pretty good cook, Emma, aren't I?' To which I admitted.

However, after a very brief chat, he said he had to get back to work.

He can seem pleasant towards me, but at the same time, he seems I don't know... a little melancholy. He never really tends to laugh around me anymore, however, he's smiled a few times in my presence recently. He tends to be quiet and whenever I ask how he is its 'fine' 'OK' or 'meh' so yeah... he seems happy around everyone else. So whys he so dismal with me? :/

also, how the heck am I meant to know how he TRULY feels when he goes on like this?

So aha, I have been dating this guy for about 4 months now and we are very committed and I have known him for a long time before we dated. Anyway he is a great guy and so I know he definitely still likes me a lot however I know how guys say they do need space but for me I never get sick of him so seeing him every 2 days would be fine with me aha. So anyway the other day we were talking and he had said he just doesn't want us to with each other 24/7 and so its been about 2.5 days since then and when he said that it made me think hmm maybe I should just chill and not message him much over the next few days or so because I feel someimes as if im the one initiating most ideas to hang out and most contact so I thought I'd back off a bit and let him contact me. Well yesterday we hardly spoke but when we did I was going out to look at Christmas lights so I quickly told him I had to go but id be back soon and he ended up staying 'you hardly talk to me :/' and then 'have fun babe, I'll message u tomorrow x' but the thing is he didn't message me all day anyway so eh? We're supposed to hang out new year but untill then I'm gona back off and let him inititiate conversations and not ask to see him till new years. But I was just wondering what people would think, if im hardly talking to him and not asking to hang out because I don't wana initiate everything, will that make him feel like he shouldn't initiate contact because he feels unwanted even though I always initiate? Will this make him initiate more and feel less crowded and make him miss and appreciate me or have a negative effect? ( by the way I don't want to talk to him just yet, I just was try this first because I don't want to have to force him to want to initiate contact etc, I want him to want to)
