You are no longer needed in the relationship

She needs space to decide whether she want you or not. It's 50-50. She want to look for a better guy paraventure she doesn't get then she will fall back to you. Give here the space and yo don't put your egg in one basket . Explore cause she want stop explore

Time to reset or reassess the relationship

The person is tired of calculating mathematics of how to behave in your presence every time.
So give chance let them normalise their thinking and decide if they want to continue with you or not.
The person actually has a big headache any time they are in your presence and wants you out for a while so they can see how to treat the headache..

Stop chatting me

Reply with " send me your account number

Just count your losses and move on... Focus on you and your life goals without this person, pursue your life goals with vigor and energy... To be honest also delete thier number or even block all contact and don't look back.

In a few years time you will run into this person somehow or somewhere... And you will thank them for telling you they needed space as you are a billion times better and with somebody that appreciates you no matter the ups and downs of life... But still continue to move on with your life and don't hold any grudges.

Not even A space, it’s some space, he/she is no more intrested ni o

It means I am tired of you and need you out of my life

There is someone else they need to create time for too

Means I want to date someone else for a while and see if they're better than you

It is over

iamyemiakins:
In my opinion, it just means the person has something more important to work on or figure out, so as not to lose focus (Abroad version).

The relationship's data is left with 1mb, the person in question is not feeling his/her partner anymore and probably seeing somebody else (Nigerian version).

You are the President of wise people association of Nigeria

It’s the closest thing to break up

But the most important thing is defining the space to each other, people just say it to each other while having different meaning in their head

Some might think they can be hoein while on break while the other might not think that

Sometimes some get jealous seeing the other with opposite sex and being happy
Which ever one u choosing define it bfr going and make sure u guys state a particular time when u can get back together and things ure allowed to do
