Why did he DISAPPEAR?

[confused2003]

I have been dating a guy for about two months now. He considered me to be his girlfriend about two weeks ago. And I haven't heard from him in over a week. He has a thirteen year old daughter who I met and we get a long very well. He also has a newborn one month old and is no longer with the baby's mother. I know he's got a lot going on his life and recently his baby mama found out about me and started limiting his contact with his son. He is very close to his children and I told him that I thought he needed some space and some time to think about things because I did not want to come between him and his son and that I did not want to be the reason he could not see his son. We had even told each other that we thought we were perfect for each other and that everything felt right. However, I have not heard from him since I told him I would give him space. I contacted him a couple days ago just telling him I was thinking of him but I never got a response. He was adamant that he would never get back together with this baby mama and that they could never work things out. What went wrong? What do I do? Everything was going so well and we had even planned for New Years. I would always hear from him at least everyday with a "good morning beautiful" or a "good night" text. Maybe he just needs more space? He claimed I was the one and you could just tell he was into me by the way he looked at me.

Welcome to the forum. Many people when they hear "space" regardless of the context, hear "not interested, move on." I'm one of those people, not one to ever pressure or smother women, so if I were to hear "space" talk? Well, space is infinite and silent. Maybe your guy is similar. Good luck.

If you didn't want there to be space, you shouldn't have suggested giving each other space.

 

Try giving him a call to find out how he is and initiate meeting up again, instead of "I'm thinking of you" texts, which don't necessarily mean you're looking for a response.
