Initiating serious NC after 5 months of off/on communication

[thisisconfusing]

I broke up with him.

 

Some backstory:

He pursued me, I was pretty closed off to the idea of being in a relationship. After a few weeks I gave in, because i like him. He introduced me to his daughter (14yo) and things were great, she liked me he liked me. Literally from one day to the next he pulled back. Asked for space. I took it very personal. Mainly because of the timing. I had given him HSV2. I disclosed that info prior to having sex FYI. I was incredibly hot and cold about whether I wanted to stay in contact with him while he had his space(after not speaking for a couple of days--he stated that he had grown attached to me). Long story short I eventually ended it. He and I would stop speaking for a month then I would text him and we'd speak for like a week. Then again we would stop speaking for a month and Id text him. This continued for like 4 months. I feel he likes me. He's very respectful. When we do talk, he talks very highly of me. He sees what a lot of people don't. I want the NC for myself but of course in the back of my mind I would like to know if I ruined my chances of getting him back. He didn't see any reason to break up, I went from being an unemotional woman to feeling all types of feelings and made what was the right decision at that moment to end it.

 

What I did:

-Be very expressive of my feelings towards him.

-I never fully gave him the proper space.

-When we did speak, I would bring up the relationship and what I wanted.

-Wanted to see if there were any feelings (I can validate myself, but would've liked to know if there was a chance)
